SPOTSTICKER JIGS
Â* Â* Has anyone seen the "spotsticker" jigs that Larry of ALABAMALAKES was talking about a couple months ago? Â*When Larry was talking about Spotstickers, I assumed that they were for fishing for smallmouth or spots. I saw them on a TV show a couple days ago, and they look awsome. They look like a lead "Hershey Kiss" with a hook sticking out of the top. The line tie is along the front edge of the lure. You thread a plastic lure, like a worm, lizard, tube, etc on the lure and it stands straight up off the bottom, instead of laying on the bottom like most jigs. Pull up Larry's site and look at them http://www.alabamalakes.com

But I thought it was just a basic weighted jig head? Lizards |

Re: SPOTSTICKER JIGS
he sent me some samples,if they are the ones with the red hooks.caught a ton of smallies on them...but they are not a very strong hooks.also the red wears off in no time when bouncing around riprap.but they worked good with or without the red.
shhhhhhh don't tell anyone :-X.one killer way is to put half or a little less than half of a 5 or 6 in.red shad senko on it and drag and hop it on the bottom.(got LM's the same way.) |

Re: SPOTSTICKER JIGS
These jigs are designed for true finesse fishing, not a beefed up small bait that falls like a rock, this bait has a very slow fall and glides along the bottom.
3/16 oz -- 3/0 or 4/0 eagle claw hook Available Colors Below: 1. Â* Green Pumpkin 2. Â* Green Pumpkin / Orange 3. Â* Black/Blue Flake 4. Â* Watermelonseed 5. Â* Gourd Green 6. Â* Pumpkinseed 7. Â* Black 8. Â* White Special colors may be ordered!! Â* |

Re: SPOTSTICKER JIGS
I didn't see any spotstickers when I clicked "Jigs and jigheads." I ordered 50 spotsticker heads a few years ago because they had 3/16 oz. which are hard to find around here. They're plain round heads with light wire and the points seemed not quite as sharp as other jigheads I've had. They rave about these things on another forum, but I don't know what the big deal is.

They are not round heads, they have a flat spot that makes them stand up on the bottom giving the trailer a natural craws defense posture. You didn't have a real deal, spot remover is the original, if i am not mistaken spotsticker had to change their name for trademark or patent infringement issues with spot remover jigs. This may be why they are not called spotstickers on the site (i didnt see them there either at least not listed as spot stickers) |

Re: SPOTSTICKER JIGS
CULLIN,
I didn't see them on Larry's site either. I saw a stand up jig, but it was not the one they were using on TV. The ones I saw on TV had a screw thread gismo sticking out of the head. You screwed the plastic down on the screw threads and then rigged the hook into it texposed. The lead head was shaped just like a Hershey chocolate kiss with the hook sticking out the top. I have never seen them before, but would like to get my hands on some in 1/8 or 3/16. JackL |

Re: SPOTSTICKER JIGS
I think that alabamalakes stopped producing spotsticker jigs because they got in some lawsuit with another company that had the name "spot remover"

Re: SPOTSTICKER JIGS
Yeah, Larry posted it on here once before saying that the Spot Remover company wrote him a letter telling him that he had to change the name due to copyright crap. There is a big difference in Spot Remover and Spot sticker, but evidentally Spot Remover is afraid of a little competition

Re: SPOTSTICKER JIGS
02,
Â* Â* That's the items! I just wish they would tell what size the hook is. I am afraid that a large "creatcher" bait would ball up in the throat of the hook if they are not using EWG hooks. Â* Â* Funny thing is that the anglers I saw using these jigs on TV were calling them "Spotsticker" Jigs instead of "Spot Remover" jigs, but they were shaped like the "Spot Remover" jigs. I'll bet the company was pulling thier hair out over that slip. JackL |

I'm not sure of the history of the Removers and Spotstickers and I wasn't aware that Larry made them, because a couple of other guys own Spotsticker. These are what my heads look like and the address where they can be found. http://www.spotsticker.com/spotsticker.htm |

Re: SPOTSTICKER JIGS
Looks just like basic jighead to me. Maybe I'm wrong, but that is what they look like.

Re: SPOTSTICKER JIGS
i have jig heads that look just like those marty, and they arnt spotstickers, so if you got those then you could pretty much get any round jig head and it would do the same thing.

Re: SPOTSTICKER JIGS
I read about the spot stickers they are basically a round ball head that has a longer shank hook so that you can rig the soft plastic bait texas rigged on them. Not the same critter as a spot remover which is a form of standup jig.
