Let's See Your Gig + Free Welding

Got something besides a walmart B&M Gig? Let's see it!

What makes a perfect flounder gig in your opinion?

Also, if you have a design in mind that needs welding, I will WELD IT FOR FREE, I also have grinders, saws, etc. I'll help you build it FOR FREE

That's what I use with a bamboo pole. In my opinion, any sharp gig will do just fine as long as you stick em good.

I

have just one the one on the right was a prelim design that eventually went kaput. I have posted the pictures on here before and have been termed "King Neptune"which i thought was hilarious. I have the gig attached to a 13 foot old pole vualting pole. it works great and is very strong and light. I have another in the works and could use some tack welding done so I may take you up on your offer, I would like the tacks in stainless so I do not know if you can do stainless or not. But I like the sizeof the gig it is 6" across so I can use it to guesstinmatea fishessize if need be.

I can weld stainless no problem! King neptune , thats funny. When i saw it I thought "thats one ugly gig, but a very creative ugly gig " LOL. That is some serious gig power wow. Is there any kind of legal crap I should know about "gig size" before embarking on the search for the perfect gig?

Very creative and cool looking, and not to be a negative nancy here.... but why would you want to poke 6 holes in your fish? Seems like a little overkill...

You should name that gig the DEVESTATOR!

Nope.....Never seen anything about that. There are so many Factory style already by B&M manufacture.

I like the "King Neptune" I think it would help stabilize the fish better when you go to lift them.

I was thinking about that, but honestly its not going to matter if you are hitting them in/near the head. At most one more hole in the meat, because the other hole will be in his head. Might stun / kill them quicker

I like using all-thread. I haven't lost a single fish yet on this. I can't even shake them off...I've tried.

This is how I want the flounder to feel when I stick'em!:moon

Oh, and I like that allthread design. I want one of those...
