My prototype soft plastic lure resembled a miniature, partially kneaded, unbaked loaf of sourdough bread. As our own Hawn Jigs has described, this is a heavily salted chunk of plastic designed to be jigged WEIGHTLESS, with its own very unique wobble during descent downward. While testing it's...

I'm starting with this image above, as I'm loving the concept that a small company, husband/wife team (Thomas Custom Lures) from NM is doing with their jigs. They seem to understand the concept of WATER PUSH, and vibration in their well tested, colorful little jigs. First they tie in short deer...

I was rootin' around  my old tackle and actually located an old "Tionesta JIG" that was "custom tied" for me by PA bait store owner, Mrs. Grace Avery .  The Averys, Harold & Grace, ran a little, musty tackle shop (1950s-1960s) along the upper Allegheny river in Forest county ( a magical place in...

Does anyone have one of the old Cap Kennedy pamphlets(or a photo copy) that he gave away with his Rock-a-roo jigs and "Killer rigs", that I could beg, borrow,or buy? Or other written history of his jig fishing (i've read Larry Myhre's articles)?

I've grown very tired of muddy waters ! It seems this year here in Western PA, that we've had more rain, high water levels, and MUD than ever! This made light jigging tough, though the nice fish calling vibrations of the bottom scratchers always got us a few. So I decided to search the net for a...

I've just returned from a week on the Outer banks, NC for some Spring saltwater action. The winds and a strong current prevented much use of my usual lighter jigs, but the very compact ,heavy metal "Gotcha " plug saved the trip, as it easily handled wind & current. The bluefish ate these little...

Trout limits have come exceedingly easy this Spring, despite complaints from the bait&wait crowd. Now, my warming water crappie and bluegills are turning on bigtime with the same methods. Onlookers are fascinated as I describe learning my distance casting water bubble and jig method from an...

Flooding back to me came fond memories of nice sized pike limits (plus bonus bass and huge crappies) from the mighty St. Lawrence river. These hefty stringers were acquired throughout month-long vacations to New York's famous Thousand Islands area during August, where locals always informed us...

Thought some of our finesse anglers may enjoy this project which has paid big dividends in using light, sparsely tied jigs during this past summer and fall - http://www.outdoorcanada.ca/How-to-give-your-jig-incredible-action

In recent correspondence with famed bunnystrip tier, Paul Jensen, I was rather excited about an interesting jig method for Spring/early Summer northern pike. Paul is often featured in In-Fisherman stories on using his very long, unique rabbit zonker style lures for muskies,pike, and lunker bass...

My 34 yr old son and I (and family) just returned from a week's ocean fishing at the Outer Banks of NC. We fished high piers over open seas and low bridges around bay areas. Trouble was, rough November weather gave us some fairly stiff winds, high waves,post  cold front bright skies, and murky...

Last weekend my son & I headed up to Lake Erie (Vermilion,Ohio) to do some serious vertical jigging for our favorite light tackle fish, the Freshwater Drum. Yeah, we got a lot of flack from the locals about targeting the lowly (in their limited opinions!) "Sheepshead", but after sore wrists...

My son, Sean, has a new jigging website up at surefirejigs.com which features some cool photos of catches on Boolies and woolies !

Just back from OBX-lots colder up north than the past few days of 70* and mid 60s with sun down in NC! Our week was beautiful every day, only some wind and slight chill on 2 days (but everything doable even then!).Hard to believe calm & warm jigging in Nov for a PA boy like me(tho drove thru...

Though a rather stormy, cold front laden summer here in PA , I've enjoyed consistent action from much testing with a special 2" soft plastic helgrammite as a tipping for my woolie& boolie jigs. The unique, coffee-scented model I've been using is from a small but energetic company in the Midwest...

My 32 yr old son was whomping me during a short morning trout session a few days ago. "Do ya want to hold my rod on the next trout, just so ya don't forget what one feels like? " he teased. OK, time to bring out the big guns -so I reached for the thin blue plastic grocery bag that we carry our...

Does anyone here pour their own helgrammite bodies for use as jig trailers? I talked with a topnotch NC crappie guide that swears by them for huge crappies, behind a jig!
