Google says http://www.merchantcircle.com/business/Hawg.Jaw.Tackle.And.Supply.Care.Fair.417-538-2941

And HawgJaw apparently has a FaceBook page so they might still be around.

Donnie Williams had at least one son who was very much into both bass fishing and the lure making, but I cant remember his name. The son would be maybe 45 or 50-ish now/

If that is the same Hawg Jaw as the white spoon, Mark used to carry them at Table Rock Tackle, and seems like Rich might have also at Ozarks.

Prevents wrap around and line break offs. Of course then the arm is more likely to break and leave you without a fish at a bad time. Basically a trade off. Up north and on the Mississippi we used closed eye baits because of pike and dogfish. Since moving from Iowa I make most of mine with R bends. Still need to re-tie with either.

Save yourself the headache of searching for that same spinner bait and just get this War Eagle model:

Or build one, especially if you just want a few in basic night black. You'd need a 1/2oz or 3/4oz head, poured on a 0.040 minimum frame to handle the big wheel. Probably less than $30 from LPO.

Those War Eagles are nice, but the light wire can be a pain for that night deal.

Ok, NOW I have to ask.. When would you throw a BLACK spinerbait on table rock ? I use to have some "black short arm" spinerbaits that were awesome.. except midwest Northern pikes loved them.. Never found another short arm model..

Still have a few of the standad black Midnight specials I'd like to throw...
