Jika Rig

[inshore]

anyone know where to find the sinkers they use on the orginal jika rig.

I looked earler this year with no luck. I don't think it is popular enough yet. I just made some up with long drop shot weights and bell sinkers. I want to try them out first.

I'd just use bell weights or open up the end of a drop shot weight with some pliers.

Just found some on ownerhooks.com . $6.50 for lead. $9.50 for tungsten. 2 per pkg.

Wow! Just a touch overpriced IMO.

Think I saw some rigs at hook line and sinker in Rogers. Don't know the cost

I just used Bass Pro premium bass casting sinker which is basically a bell with flat bottom...you get 10 for $3.29. I probably don't have $12 invested and made up 10 a few weeks ago.

I'd take a look at Lindy's No- Snagg if it light enough. Use the 3/8 ounce but color the lower portion to get a neutral sinker.

That sinker will walk through just about anything.

Here's a nice article on Stacey King using the jika and pictures of various ways to make your own.

That is the real deal. Ned also has another article covering use of the jika in October. The "St. Louis angler" in the article is OAF's very own trailblazing ABKeenan. Looks ridiculous but it works. That increasingly seems to be the case with new rigs and baits. Some of them simply lack any elegance.
