In the early 80's I was a club and mass federation bass tournament fisherman and wasn't fishing the salt at all. In the mid to late 80's it became too crowded and too much of a job and I started to transition to striper fishing. I was in love with sluggos and jig fishing and back then I used a larger plastic jerk made in Abington called a wide body and marketed under the name Carty's Critters. The logical next step for me was to design my own baits to add some things I saw missing from the typical sluggo, which was primarily more meat at the head so they fished better behind a jig and harder plastic to last.
Finesse fishing a jig in fresh water has served me well when it comes to putting anything in the boat, but I love targeting tog on light jigs.
