Jigs! Let Me Know What You Think.

[Josh Holt]

Here are some heads I make with the to coated wired, the two wires are not stiff they flex but don't bend just made 1000 of these heads up but I like these heads with this style od gaurd then i do the bristle style. Getting ready to start makeing up some jigs.

These style head also made with gamakatsu hooks.

Josh, talk to Phil, and ask him if he'll let you sell them on OA. Or I guess a person could PM you, if you're willing to make some up for sale.

Also, you've got a lot of strands on the jigs you've got pictured - does that work well for you on TR? Just curious if you think they fish better, in general, than a finesse style jig with fewer strands.

I also tested the style with less strands on the jig vs the way I normally make my jigs. I was useing green pumpkin purple both same weight just one with less skirting. My conclusion to this is that niether drawed more strikes then the other one did went fish for fish on several different banks but I did test one more thing how long they would hold the jig before they droped it, the jig more skirting won that aspect with them holding it a lot longer before they dropped it. Most with the jig useing less skirting would hit it quick and drop it when alomost all the fish that hit the jig with more skirting would hit it and hold it. I credit this to the bigger softer profile of more skirting causeing them to hold it giving you more time for a hook set.

Thanks, that's some interesting info, never thought that more skirt would cause them to hold it longer, but it makes sense.

Instead of cutting back on the weed guard. You might try reducing the overall number of strands in the weed guard. I cut 30% of the strands right at the head using a pair of side cutting pliers. Just my 2 cents.

Those 2 wire brush guards look real good.

Any chance you might pour a mushroom style head for the Ned rig?
