The bottom line of this is that we all have experiences and opinions about how, why, and when something works better. I have been around fishing most of my life, and I can't tell you the number of things that have come out over the years that were going to change the way we fished. So excuse me if I am skeptical about things, but in my book, the proof is in the pudding. If these jigs have truly been around for 15 years, what was the point of keeping them a secret, put them in the hands of some big time pros, let them fish and review them, if they are as good as they say then it wont be long before everyone will have to have them to stay competitive.

I have fished jigs nearly all my fishing life. I cannot see these working any better than the jigs I currently use. |

Hey Tavery, I thought someone should reply to your query regarding the time frame this has been around. Let me explain my position. I am merely a friend and fishing companion of Bo's and not in anyway connected with the sales and promotion of this product. In my initial thread I was only giving my opinion and experience of fishing with this Jig. I am 80 years old and have been fishing since I was 5.
As I understand it, this has been around since the late 80's. When it first hit the market through a trade show in Los Vegas, the initial orders were so massive they overwhelmed the mfg. capacity and capability therefore, things subsequently fell apart. The partners tried to steal all of the rights and patents and it apparently got into one jumbo legal mess. Afterward Bo brought everything back under his control and it was kept rather quite other than with friends and fishing companions. I guess only until now he was able to generate and fianancial interest to get it started again. Don't hold me to this verbatim, but it this is the way I understand it. You know if I had your address in Goddard I would be willing to send you some Jigs from my supply. They are for the most part Ir's. and misfits from the original production. They may not be very pretty, but I assure you they will get the job done. The one's we use are of the original design and to me personally they are better than the new one's because they have solid guide arms or weed guards and they are of much stiffer material, like weed eater line. I understand that this was changed on the new design, because they felt this concept would or could not be accepted in the mind set of the fishing community. But to me they are better if you have a strong enough hook set. Not only do they got through cover with a stronger faster pace but also act as a locking device to lock the hook in place. Anyway, excuse my rambling and the grammatical format here, if you are really interested in forming your own opinion on this and trying what we fish with, then I would be glad to send you half dozen, 1/4 to 1/2 and let you test then for yourself. Sincerely, Bud Welch |

Kevin, why would anyone be offended or have hard feelings over the discussion of a bass jig? When anyone makes a broad statement about any topic on this or any other forum, they need to be prepared to defend/explain their position. There were allot of statements about what makes a good jig, nothing wrong with that, but not everyone will agree. Jigs, are a bait that many of have grew up fishing, we all have our own strong opinions about what, when why, and how, and when these opinions are voiced it should not be taken personally, but as an opportunity to learn.
Perfect strike jigs are what this thread is truly about, so this is what I have to offer, most of us have never held one in our hands and to my knowledge none of us have fished one enough in real world conditions to have much experience with them. So it seems to me that what has been posted about them is what others have had to say, and what we have been able to watch in videos. My problem with a video advertising any product is that if the product did not perform exactly as they claim, do you think they would show you that? I look forward to someone I trust and know, fishing with these jigs and giving a fair and impartial review of exactly how they perform. Some may think that the fact you trade out your services for materials make you somehow less credible in your opinions on these products, as they would with anyone who is a sponsored advertiser. I trust and value your opinion, so I would ask that you fish these jigs and after you have caught several fish in various conditions, offer us your review at that point based on your experiences. Let's get away from the media and advertising hype and put these things to the test. As for me, skeptical yes, offended or have any hard feelings over these discussions, crazy.

Bud, a person with your amount of experience is a rare commodity. I truly appreciate your very generous offer to send me some of these jigs to try and it is very tempting to take you up on it. However, I would feel much better if I purchased the jigs from Bo, and used the same ones that are commercially available to everyone. If anyone is interested at that point I would be glad to offer my impartial review of the jigs. Again, let me tell you how appreciative I am of you coming here offering your experience and very generous offer. I hope you can find the time to drop in occasionally as share some of your experience with us. Welcome to the site, look forward to talking with you in the future.

I like jigs and will throw one when I think it's the best tool for the situation at hand. Over the many years I've been fishing them I rarely put a whole lot of thought into my purchase choices and not much more thought into which one to tie on. Brand name was almost never a consideration, I just wanted a 3/8 or so in a natural color with a light wire hook. Odd I guess considering how particular I've been regarding plugs, wire baits and plastics, not to mention how picky I could be about rods, reels, line, electronics and such.
It has become apparent to me that this bait and this subject has flown under my "radar" or just gets more attention on this (and other) forum(s) than I would have imagined. For example this thread and it's sister thread hook up ratio with jigs, whats your thoughts and its step sister thread jig rod[ have been viewed 1707 times and commented on 77 times in a little over 10 days. Casually looking over the boards that appears to be some kind of unofficial record. So now I have to decide to add jigs to the list of things I should really think a lot about or just keep reaching in the box and simply grab the first one I see. I think that being presented with new choices and mental processes is why I participate in and read this forum and others like it. Thanks .......Ken

Here ya go. I hope these came out good, The one upside down is to show the shape of the head that they call the cam action head.
It didn't come out as good as I hoped, the bottom of the head is actually shaped like part of an octogon with flat spots. |
