Middle Ground-ers...

I just made up a hunded or so of these with my son to fish MG during the spring for bass during the annual squid event that shows up there.

I made a couple last season and did great casting into the rips and working off the bottom on light spinning right around dusk

whatcha think?

I got in touch with the original maker of the B2 squid and he made a couple hundred for me without the standard eyes and I glued on these 3d eyes. The jigs are do-it mold bullet jigs. I have 1, 1.5, 2 made up but i also have a mold for some up to about 4 oz.

they should work for fluke too, but I use them a little differently.

Those look perfect for Middle Ground although I'd also like to try them down the Canal. I see you had them special made, wonder if anyone sells those bodies commercially? I'd love to get my hands on a few of those.....

The bass will chow those and the blues will rip them apart. Bet you can't wait for the last two weeks of May and the first two of June! I love it out there when the squid get chased out of the rip and get picked off in the air by the seagulls. That place is the nutz! I have a couple old wine colored Reverse Atoms that just kill 'em there.

Why even try.........

Vector, nice attempt at the old "full frontal Ho" but your technique needs a little work. Next time be more forcefull, make him feel he has to send them to you. Try it again please and this time remember to be more forcefull.

Why even try.........

You guys are too funny. This is not a fancy plug...just a jig. I hope to produce a few extra before spring. I will be generous.
