Bigmouth Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 I’ve tinkered on and off with a different jig design for years and have come up with this (see photo). I need some folks who use jigs a lot to test it in actual fishing conditions, then render an opinion here, such as: no good, ok but nothing special, I like mine better, gets hung up too much, and so on. I have about 30 with a 4/0 Mustad EWG hook, and 30 with a 3/0 EWG, all 3/8 wt. Colors available are: white (shad), brown (craw), olive (bluegill), and black & blue. Let’s say, two per person for now. No cost to you. PM me with your address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 I’ll try a couple and see how they do in MO rocks and man made brush piles. Send me the craw. BTW: Where I fish the life expectancy of a jig is not very many casts and I don’t go into fishy water to unhang a jig, just saying. I’ll pm you my info.

Bigmouth Posted August 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) JIG MAN, Lake of the Ozarks is where I first recognized the effectiveness of a jig. This jig should do fine on the chunky rock/pea gravel banks and the brush piles. The slab rock banks and points are jig eaters, for sure. Good luck!

Jig Man Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 I got your jigs. They are a very interesting concept. If we don’t have storms tomorrow then I will give them a try on Table Rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jig Man Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 They come through cover very well and worked well in the rocks. One was unlucky in a laydown and had to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bdnoble84 Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Id be happy to try them. Fish rocky rivers so would be a good test. Run into pike this time of year so that could be a good test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Posted August 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Thanks, Bdnoble 84. PM me with your address, and the colors you want, black&blue, shad (white), olive (bluegill), or craw (brown). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
