Great jigs! I just wish I could find so more of the older fine rubber style jigs. The new ones are made round rubber with more of a "finesse" look.

I have a stock pile of I have been using these jigs for years they are awsome on Oroville! No doubt they are great jigs.

Let me ask you something, have you ever seen a skinny bear? Nope, and those jigs dont catch fish....do all of those anglers a favor clear the peg, give them to me and I will melt them down.


When I first started fishing I thought skinny bears were the ONLY jig to fish, Fishermans has stocked them in the past and you can order them on-line.

Berserk jigs use the fine living rubber or frogs hair, with a hook of your choice if you custom order it. Mustad or Gamakatsu. They are at C&C in Modesto, BaitBarn, Escalon Bait & Tackle, and the 76 station in Snelling.

Thanx Paul. I'm working on it. I'm still looking for a good grass jig. I've got a couple that I like; Open Water makes an awesome one, that I've used at Mead. We'll see.

Peace,

but not great, and not as good as they used to be. When they first came out they used a better rubber, they were priced better AND CAME 2 PER PACKAGE! Once they got a little brand recognition guess what, one per pack, cheaper skirt, higher price. Do they work? Sure they do but so do a lot of other jigs out there. I like Bobby "D" a local guy working out of his home and selling at a local/loyal dealer; Gene at the Hook! just my .02$ time for a cigar

I think it comes down to person choice as well as other factors.

Sure a lure may be introduced at rock bottom prices until it get name recognition and the demand goes through the roof. Skinny Bear still uses a ultra fine froghair live rubber on thier football jigs, but the finesse jigs are a thick round rubber. I like the thick round rubber on the finesse. I like the current line. And I realize that if I buy them, I will pay thier asking price. I'm ok with that, if I wasn't ok with that, I would never fork out the money I do on lucky craft, jackall, evergreen, or on swimbaits.

I use a ton of different brands and colors of jigs for various situations, but that all boils down to personal choice. I think the Wadda is about as close as you can get to the best overall jig for any situation as well as as being the absolute best in other situations. I like bobby Ds as well. Persuader American uses an ultra fine silicone on their jig skirts that make them an awesome jig under the right conditions. I like choices and I appreciate them.


A single lure that satisfies absolutly everyone doesn't exist. This is one of the multitude of reason that most pros modify thier baits themselves. There are very few lures that I don't modify, jigs included. I enjoy doing it. I guess it's all about perspective.

Awsome Jigs.....The profile and the color blends are great. I have a great hookup ratio with those jigs...

[jrleewood]

Anyone have any of the older fine rubber signature series the would like to sell or trade for the newer round ruberr ones?
