THUNDERSTRUCK JIGS AND THE WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT

On my last post I mentioned some good web sites to view. There is one that I wanted to make a special post on. "Thunderstruck Jigs" have made an amazing looking series of skirted jigs. They are made with football heads or rounded heads and come in various shapes, colors and sizes. The skirted material is made of silicon for durability. Jigs have become a very necessary weapon for fishing for various species of fish. They are so popular that you can find them anywhere and they are made by dozens of lure manufactors. The most intriquing aspect of the THUNDERSTRUCK JIG CO. is a special program that they have become involved with! It is the "WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT"! This project was founded on the principle that VETERANS are our nation's greatest citizens. The "WWP" seeks to assist those men and women of our armed forces who have been severely injured during the conflict in Irag, Afghanistan and other locations around the world! Thunderstruck Jig Co. has produced a special football headed jig and named it the "FREEDOM JIG". It has a red,white and blue skirt and sells for $5.00 with 100% of the profits going to the "WWP"! I think this is an extremely patriotic idea and I encourage everyone to go to www.thunderstruckjigs.com and purchase some of their products. Their web site is full of material, how to videos and a catalog of their products. Please, check them out. You won't be sorry!

The Advantage Of The Internet

Years ago there was no internet, so in order to find information one had to do it the hard way, ask questions, read about it in the newspaper or witness it! During the fishing season our local newspapers would run outdoor columns dealing with up dated fishing reports. Not anymore. The papers need all their space for ads to bring in money so they can continue to publish the every day news. Being 60 years old has been a major disadvantage for me in working with computers. If you can imagine, just think how big a computer was back in the 60's, when I was in school, and then look at the one that is in front of you right now! When I graduated from high school I had an opportunity to attend a computer programming school. I was so intimidated at the idea that I chickened out! Who would have thought that today if you didn't have a computer in your home or a laptop to carry with you, you would be considered to be from the back hills! Well, it's fairly obvious that I have one now, and even though I have to "hunt and peck" to type anything, I LOVE IT! I spend so much time on it searching for "STUFF", it has create a few arguements in the home live! Getting back to where this was heading in the first place, I have found so many "NEAT" web sites dealing with fishing! I thought I would list a few here today! Most of them have a forum that can be joined or just read if you don't feel like joining! Some have great videos and how to information. Some are for the sale of their products but are interesting to view, so here goes! 1) SPORTSMANSLIFE.com 2) OHIOSPORTSMAN.com 3) OUTDOOROHIO.com 4) PONDBOSS.com (if you need information on building or working on a pond) 5)LARRYSLURESandCRAFTS.com 6) NORTHSTARCUSTOMBAITS.com 7) AMERICANBASSOUTLET and my favorite 8) MYOUTDOORTV.com. If you cann't get out fishing, maybe you can at least key up some of these sites an have a look around! Good Fishing!
