The paint and coating process he uses is second to none. I literally hot one of his brush heads stuck between two rocks, yanked and yanked and it popped free the color was still there. Compared to a mom and pop jig I got and was just bouncing it along the rocks and lost my pain in a half hr. Also the dredge series has owner deep throat hooks. I am a fan of owner hooks due to there sharpness. Once you get em they're stuck. The color options are second to none and Mikes customer service is second to none. He also has two day shipping and can even rush orders if needed. To sum it up when you get the jigs they are so beautiful you would want to hang them on the wall, but they would do you more justice on the end of your line. I would keep it basic on colors. Green, brown, and black and blue will do for starters. If you are fishing rocks I would use football heads. I like 3/8 oz for a starting point and heavier if you have a lot of current. Fishing brush the brush head and arkey. Star slow and be patient with the jigs and it will pay off
