I figured jig makers are also jig fishermen. Edited January 11, 2016 by mark poulson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Heard this on several forums. With the use of plastics now-a- days and the problem Uncle Josh is having trying to get good pig hide, sadly it was just a matter of time. Good product back in the day. I was always one of those guys that forgot to leave the bait in the water when you aren't fishing it or putting it back in the jar when you were done at days end. Once it dried, you had to throw away the pork trailer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured jig makers are also jig fishermen. That sucks. I've caught a lot of nice fish using Uncle Josh pork trailers on jigs. Used to love the #10 pork frog on the back of a 1/4 or 5/16 ounce jig during the pre-spawn. Those big females loved the slow fall that setup produced.

MuskyGary Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 I got a old tackle box with about 50 jars of pork baits in it. I'd better keep them, could be worth something in the future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gone2long Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Crazy aint it, was a time not too long ago when that raw product couldn't be given away now it's called pork rind and sold as a snack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Glenn Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Best jig trailer I ever used was their black split tail trailer or eel, or whatever they called it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tronicsman Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 What a bummer! They were a favorite. I caught many a bass on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
