Basseducer Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 BigTimeBuzzer, I see the new Brush Jig, but not a new Grass Jig. Can you give an item number from their site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTDuckman Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 The brush jig pours awesome for me, but the grass jig has been a little temperamental for me at least. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The molds I am referring to is: SMJ-3-SF and the SMJ-3-MF models. It's a new weedless grass jig they just came out with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ, when this jig first came out before the catalog, it was advertised as a grass jig. It is on pg 24 of the new Do-It catalog, on the bottom of the pg. It's now called a Weedless Casting Jig. Hope this helps. The molds I am referring to is: SMJ-3-SF and the SMJ-3-MF models. It's a new weedless grass jig they just came out with. My friend has this mold, and I looked at it. It is a cross between a bullet bass jig and Snootie Jig. Actually it uses the same Mustad hook as the Bullet Bass Jig. I guess it's an alright jig, but since I have the other two, I probably will borrow this when I need it, instead of buying it. He said it pours fine.

Basseducer Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 OK, I got it. I too have the Bullet Bass Jig and the Snootie. Sorry for the confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTimeBuzzer Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Cad, Since you have seen it, is it flat on the bottom like a snootie is? I am trying to come up with a head close to one that is not made anymore without going the custom mold route. Any help would be greatly appreciated....Good Fishin'....BTB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he will help you out, good guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTDuckman Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 It is closer to the bullet head the anything else. It is really close to what I would call a bullet head with recessed eyes and a decent grub keeper on it. Not flat spots on it. It has a skirt ring and then a single barb keeper. The pull point on this jig is essentially just above center. Mine pours well in 1/8th with 3/0 49/50, but my 1/4 oz with 4/0 I haven't quite figured out, about 35/50. I can pour poison tails all day long without a problem (which tends to be a bit of struggle for some), but for some reason I am getting a little flash (really not significant, but an aggrevation) that I have yet to figure out. Using the stock hook they prefer rather than the light wire that I really want to be able to use. I am going to check out a couple things before I modify mine to take the lighter hook, but flashing before going to a light wire hook is getting me a little frustrated.
