Hi Mark, I hope your treatment is doing its job. Wishing you all the best. I saw someone trying to reach you on bass fishing home page. Here is his response.

i tried messaging a few guys on FB named Mark Inman but havent been able to track him down. Any chance you could connect me?

Just trying to find some of these Don Iovino Starburst jigs. I know someone has some in their tackle dungeon!!

my name is Matthew DeCrosta if you want to find me on FB, Instagram my name is also captainhookset

Thanks

I know you’re the man who can connect the dots and maybe you have the time right now to work on this puzzle. Let me know how I can help

green-winnie you may have a hard time finding the starburst jigs Don Iovino has not made to jigs for several years now. His jig man run into some health issues so they no longer make them. You might try eBay somebody may still have some to sell.

These 3" craw trailers were used with both of Dons star Burst jigs and Skinny Bear jigs.

Bill who tied Don’s jigs passed away several years ago. The ladies who poured Don’s soft plastics retired about 2 years ago. Don Iovino stopped offering both Bill’s jigs and hand poured soft plastics, both are no longer available.

I kinda figured that he stop offering both the jigs and
craw trailers back about when she retired.

Don currently has some health issues & hasn’t been communicating with anyone

I Know about health issues it's not been fun here.
I have understanding customers also. I know tournament time is starting up but I'm not able to get order out like I did before the treatments started. I get email every day but I tell them I'm currently not pouring or building anything. Oh how I want to but I need too take care of myself for my up coming surgery in Feb.

I would be very interested in trying to get the 3" craw molds from Don if he would willing to part with them. Also the spade tail worm molds. But can't contact him.
