After viewing the videos I have to admit I'm intrigued. I'm hoping to hear feedback from Kory and Anthony about these jigs. Anyways, I'd like to try a couple and see for myself. In the one video, he claimes the jig works better in vegitation. I have seious doubts about that, but then again, I'll have to try it myself first. The split weedguard to me would only catch more vegitation than normal weedguards and create a bulkier body which would not slide through vegitaion as easily as the conventional jig. I definately would expect them to come through brush better though as long as the weedguards are not so flimsy that they give into the brush and allow the hook to snag. While I don't like a weed guard that is too stiff, I don't like flimsy ones either. I like Kens idea about using 2 part epoxy to keep the guard strands spead apart. Definately going to try that! Watching the dowel rod experiment, I could see what they were trying to prove, But it looked to me as though the football head design uprighted itself comming through the dowels also. I'm not convinced this jig design would have much of an advantage over the football head design in deeper water situations. In fact, I think the makers of this jig should make a deep water version which would have a larger and thinner wired hook. Outside of flooded trees, most deep water fishing is fairly cover free. At least around my parts, thats the case. Overall though, I like the ideas proposed by the videos. It will be interresting to read about the feedback from members here in the forums who have tried this jig. I'll have to wait at least 5 months to try it up here. Man I hate winter!!!
