Lost the only one I had today. A friend of mine got them from a buddy of his in NY.
I didn't lose the jig to a snag, well maybe indirectly I had a nice one on that would have been in the 10# club, but he got me in the rocks and cut the line.
I did however catch 2 nice ones just prior though. 9.8# and a nice 8#er.
I was very careful with re-rigging the jig after ever catch, so when I lost the bugger it wasn't due to frayed line.
He is getting more of the jigs soon. I think a friend of his makes them.... they use a short shank but wide hook with a large head, with just the right amount of room on the hook for a medium size crab. I drug it all through the rocks and never hung up, until that slob pulled me down into a nasty spot.
I bet I caught at least 20 or more fish on that one jig before I lost it. I will post a pic when I get another one from him. For now I will be struggling with an underweight large sluggo jig head.....
