Eye Hole Jig Creator (Almost) Tells All
by Richard Simms, CrappieNOW Editor
The CrappieNOW and CatfishNOW teams recently gathered in Millbrook, Ala. for their annual Media Camp. Dozens of journalists, content creators, fishing guides and manufacturing representatives gathered to enjoy the great facilities – and great fishing offered in Elmore County. The meeting of the minds was headquartered at the brand new 17 Springs sports complex.
The gathering provided an exciting opportunity to see and test some of the latest and greatest crappie fishing products on the market from TTI Blakemore, Driftmaster Rod Holders and Crappie Magnet.
CrappieNOW Editor Richard Simms had the opportunity to pick the brain of Eye Hole Jig creator Blake Phillips. Now partnered with Crappie Magnet, Eye Hole Jigs are taking the crappie fishing world by storm.
In a candid conversation, Phillips shared how Eye Hole Jigs began. The pair also hit the water at Jackson Lake Island to show off some of the Crappie Magnet products – and demonstrate some fun fishing tips in action.
