Members CollegeFish86 Posted November 28, 2012 Members Posted November 28, 2012 Have any of you guys used or seen the alpha jig? I have been looking and debating on them and was wanting to hear a few opinions on them to see what everyone else thought.
Donna G Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 First I've heard of it. Googled it and found it on perfectstriketackle.com. Looks odd with that double weed guard, but they've got a YouTube video posted demonstrating how it supposedly has a better hook-up percentage than "traditional" jigs. I wouldn't mind trying it. Have you seen it at a retailer or just online? All Alpha Jigs™ feature a "cam head" design that works with the specially designed heavy wire 4/0 Mustad UltraPoint hook to rotate the hook to an upright position in the fish's mouth, putting it in position to hook it every time - the perfect strike. It features dual appendage weed guards and flat eyes, giving it a natural appearance. The Alpha Jig™’s offset shape gives it a lifelike falling movement, and it makes a great swimming jig because it stays upright at any retrieve speed.

Gavin Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 Like the double weed. But I'd rather have a Mr. Mitch.
riverfish Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 the actual guy that designed the alpha jig lives in cassville i believe his name is bo and he droped the perfect strike guys because he didnt like the way they were building his jig and he is now building and packaging them himself again i know you can buy them at sportsmans corner in cassville. myself personally, im not so sure that you actually get a better hookup percentage but, they are stuck in the roof of the mouth nearly every time. none of that little bit of skin or in the cheek nonsense. its a quality product made with good componets such as a mustad hook. no ewg hooks. i have fished them and they come through the cover pretty well no alot of hangups and they do get bit. im just waiting on a little heavier jig from him for deeper water. oh, and on the matter of the weed guard the way he makes them is one solid piece of bristle for each one. not several pieces and i think thats his problem with the manufacturer. they dont want to build it the way he designed it. supossedly the double weed gaurd acts as a saftey clip or somethning so that when you hook a fish its supposed to help keep the jig pinned to the fishes mouth making it harder to throw.

Donna G Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 Interesting. Thanks for the info, Mitch. Looking at some of his videos on YouTube now.
