Hi Jerry (Steel69). Thanks for your thoughts - which I've always respected. 'Mission's first name is Mark; don't know his last name - he's fairly new to ifish but somehow found himself in the "Mod Squad" in record time. I guess the gig didn't appeal to most of the longtime knowledgable members? I know some of the ones that turned down an offer. Anyway, no that is not the Mark with the jig reputation. The jig expert and jig maker is Mark Anderson (Stlhdr) of www.firstcastjigs.com - as nice a guy as ever came down the pike!
