using some crazy orange jig head my NY friend gave me. whole crab toss it out, nearly snagless... works like a charm. casts far out to about 35' deep water and then settle and slowly "bump" it in...

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.....

They do look almost exactly like those, but with more orange. I bet those will work every bit as good.

There was a guy from NY who was coming into SWE to buy these jigheads - he was using them at the piers on the naval base with great success.

Ahhhh.... I bet that was Richie!! Guy in his 60s that LOVES to talk fishing and he LOVES those jigs. We can't fish the piers anymore while construction is going on, but we did catch alot of tog on them jigs. At least 1 dozen over 8 pounds with one at 9.8 and the largest at 10.35#.
They have been successful for us both from the piers and now from shore as well.
I could have sworn he mentioned he got them from some friend in NY.....

Damn, I have a couple of tog jigs, orange and green that tend to be flat with the hook pointing upward to avoid snagging. While I caught tog from shore today, I never thought to use a baited jig.
