I was speaking to Jimi Hendrix not long ago and he said to me;
"if anything were ever to happen to me, would you make sure that the fishing community is offered the "Purple Haze" Fluke jig"?
I couldnt say no, but I asked him to be more specific as to the design. I didnt want to dissappoint my old pal.
"I want it to have a "purple haze body, with an 'eclipse glow head', and 'pearl krystal flash running boards'. Most importantly, it is to have a 'swing hook'.
I asked "Jimmy, is the swing hook used because it helps BIG FISH from shaking the jig"?
"Well, he said, that is true, but I like the swing hook because it reminds me of the hot action I get on the swaybar of my stratocaster guitar. Man, you can get the rods bent just like I bend my B string with the whammy bar."
He then looked at me with a cold stare and said "one more thing. In honor of Noel and Mitch, will you offer a money back guarantee if this jig does not produce with BIG FLUKE, and lots of them?
what was I going to say NO?
"of course we will guarantee them"
