I want to thank you sir. I use to tie this all free handed and now that I’m older and wiser lol my hands just don’t cooperate as much. Where are the Golden Years lol. Thank you and look forward to some more ideas.
I think it makes a lot of sense to order one from you. I don’t have the tools you have. I don’t have the skills you have. By the time I buy all of the materials I would have spent that much anyway and then I would have a lot left over. But the best part is I get to have a jig made by a patriarch like you.
Well the jig came today. It looks really nice. I think you made improvements to it since this video was made. It came with a clamp to clamp it to the table which was unexpected but a very nice touch. I took through a quick practice run before jumping onto my exercise routine. I can see how easy it will be to crank out rigs with this jig. With 50 lb mono the branch leader to the hook was 7” which is what the Sinker Guy swears by so you guys must think alike. Thank you for a very nice jig and very fast shipping.
Thank you Dave, don’t forget I’m now selling the 3D printed Spinners on EBay. Just search for Pompano Brownie on EBay. It will make construction much easier.
So striper season is winding down and it's time to prepare for next year.I just finished making 90% of your Gen 3 Pomp jig, waiting on the rest of the materials I've ordered through your links..I can't thank you enough for your patience in making these easy to understand videos and sharing your knowledge.Keep up the great work,we appreciate it.
Thanks Jester, my oldest son lives near Gloucester Mass. I’m putting a striper catch on my bucket list. Just have to research the How-To’s of catching them.
Great video with attention to details and very informative. Thanks for sharing. I just came across your channel and subscribed. I now know what my next project is going to be. Looking forward to seeing more content. Cheers from Canada.

Just found your channel and was wondering if you would put another dowl above the second one that your loop would be longer, say 1 1/2" above the second dowl, do you know what I mean ? Larry
@@PompanoBrownie ok thanks. I just heard that from an older man who fishes strictly pompino. He said they're a sight fish and heavier lines spook them. Thanks.
Danno, I’m an older man that targets pompano. I learned how to tie rigs from an old timer that used 50lb Dark Green mono. He caught more fish than three fishermen combined. His biggest secret.. Good Bait. Live Sand Fleas, cooked sand fleas and fresh clams. All tipped with Fishbites in case the fresh bait is flicked off during the cast. He used all 13ft surf rods with conventional reels. For an old man he had no problem casting 100 yards with bait and 5oz sinker. When the Pomps are “ On the Bite” you have to get that fresh bait to them and fast. Also, use a shock leader or you will feel the pain of being down to 2 rods when the bite is on. He used to change his 50 lb shock leaders EVERY day. My main line on the reel is 14lb mono. Tight Lines!
If you are ever in the St. Augustine area and would like to shoot some skeet let me know. Our gun club is gorgeous! Love your videos and your videos have helped me catch many more fish.
Thanks Dan, I’m not sure how good I’d be at skeet, but if I’m in that area, I will give you a shout. Thank you for watching our videos and tight lines.
Speaking of 28 ga hulls.. cut that in half.. or a pen… just not sure why you would spend all the time on copper and having it nick ur line when plastic is easier to sand … Any reason u can’t use plastic?
@@PompanoBrownie only suggest that because sometimes we are on the fly and in case it gets wet or whatever... Just wondering I have some pvc board left from my ball python racks and snake cages

Gary, it requires a thin walled 3/8 inch outside diameter tube. I’ve tried a bunch of stuff out there and everything is too flimsy by the time you cut it in half or too bulky. The copper works great if you have the patience to build one. The 3-D spinner works great, but cost me a 3-D printer. Lol.

Thanks Tom, I know the feeling regarding the manual dexterity. Look on the bright side… at least we’re not brain surgeons. LOL 😆

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I just made one based on your design/plan. So helpful. God bless!

50lb for my rigs.. they can withstand a school of blues and keep on ticking.

I'm guessing I could make this out of pvc trim board also
That would probably work… just make sure the screws holding mini clamps are a coarse thread and at least 1 1/4” long. White pine might be cheaper.
@@PompanoBrownie only suggest that because sometimes we are on the fly and in case it gets wet or whatever... Just wondering I have some pvc board left from my ball python racks and snake cages
If you don't want.tonuse copper pipe to make the spinners,.use 3/8" pvc pipe.
Can I make the copper spinner out of pvc
It would be too large. Either copper tubing or order the 3-D printed .
Do you still sell the boards on eBay?

@@PompanoBrownie I saw that one, was looking for the gen3. I could make this gen3 by swapping out the nails for dowels. Thanks
Could you use the same diameter PVC for the spinner.
Gary, it requires a thin walled 3/8 inch outside diameter tube. I’ve tried a bunch of stuff out there and everything is too flimsy by the time you cut it in half or too bulky. The copper works great if you have the patience to build one. The 3-D spinner works great, but cost me a 3-D printer. Lol.
I've always made rigs by hand ....it's a pain in the bum.... And fingers get sore .... Plus no teeth anymore to pull on knots lol
If the rubber onnyour clamps come.off or get damaged, just dip them in plasti-dip. Good as new or better.
