At $5.00 a jig I would have a problem buying them in the first place.
I will stick with Pepper Jigs, they are without a doubt the best jigs on the market.

i've actually fished them and have caught a couple of fish on them. they are ok. i don't think i'd pay five bucks each again but, if you can get em for $2.40, you may want to try a few.

I have fished with that jig!

I loved the evolutionary thought process behind the Fluoro weed guard and the use of tin, but beyond that, none of the concepts they use are evolutionary at all really. Although the rocker is a neat little feature, it's really just a stand up jig, of which I lost 3 of 4 jigs in the first two hours of fishing them in the rocks on the river. This skirt front design, I didn't think their material flared better than the round rubber we've been using out here fer 20 years! They guy in the video kept talking about a reaction bait, yet the film shows a jig slowly crawling on the bottom, that wasn't reaction fishing a jig! And I can teach anyone ta do the "Claw Wave", with any kinda jig! Hmmm, didn't we first learn about the "Claw Wave" here on this website, oh back in 1996 or so? LOL

I have another issue with their website, on the right, it says in bold letters, "Comming Soon", but yet on the last paragraph on the left, in little letters at the bottom, they say, "This kicked off sales of the new standup jig to an unprecedented pace." Then they call it a the Rock & Roll Flippen jig, but claim it's a stand up jig, so which one is it? How many products, especially lures, come out of ICAST, where they receive some award, do they truley become fish catching baits? None that I can remember. It's not like the Senko, the Chatterbait, The Basstrix swimbaits, or the Shakey Head jig, these are baits we've heard about via guys winning tournaments!

Buyer beware, this jig is not near as innovative or near as evolutionary as they are making it out to be. The new Snag Proof jig is though! It's just another "Stand Up" jig actually. Any jig fisherman knows, "Stand up jigs, are NOT flippen jigs! LOL

My partner bought a pair, lost his first one on the second cast, and didn't bother with tying on another. He is a good jig fisherman, and went back to a standard jig, and caught fish all day.
I would be concerned that there is such a big lump of metal at the head that the hook might not move well in the fish's mouth on the hookset. I'd have to throw them on an 8' flipping stick with 50lb braid to be confident I could get that thing past their mouth for a good hookset.

I like how the guy says they are the only ones utilizing flouro weed guards... I've been using flouro weed guards on some custom jigs for some time now...

Anyone who has read this forum over the last several years knows that one of the areas I am weakest in is jig fishing..I will have to say I am much better at it now than in years past and I can honestly give a whole lot of the credit to Cooch..Just reading his articles and tips have made me much more confident in my ability to catch fish using jigs..I recently purchased a big bunch of his Wadda jigs to give them a try..Used them for a tourney on Clearlake and did very well for me..I also like the Pepper jigs..Since using these two jigs over the last several months, I have just about eliminated all of my other jigs..I haven't seen or used the ones mentioned in this post, but with the results I am now getting, I doubt they will see the inside of my jig box anytime soon..
