midnighthrasher Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I notice everyone talking about Megastrike scent and Cavitron buzzbaits but nobody talking about the jigs. Is anyone using these? I like the idea of a fluorocarbon weed guard. Thanks Quote
BassThumb Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 They're not worth $5 a pop, but they're alright around sand, rocks and wood, or anywhere you would generally fish a football jig. Just like the pigskin, the shape of the head doesn't allow them to pass thru the weeds very well. Quote
1234567 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I agree bassthumb, I use them and really like them, but they are too pricey or I would buy them alot more. I havn't fished them in awhile but I don't think the skirts are hand tied either. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted March 18, 2011 Super User Posted March 18, 2011 I like them on a couple lakes we fish, they're great for hopping down rock/chunk rock points. They hang less than a football. Get in weeds, though, and they're pretty bad about coming through. Quote
guitarkid Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 I would love to get some, but where I fish it would get fouled by weeds before it even got to the bottom. -gk Quote
hunt4 Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 They are my favorite jigs to flip with, and my partner pours his own... I have won quite a bit of money flipping a 1/2 ounce rusty craw and halloween colors. Definatly pricey tho. Quote
GTrombly Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 What are the lead free jigs made of? My state is banning all lead next year. Quote

I believe the non-lead jigs are made from tin. Quote

That would be a good selling point but it is not mentioned. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted March 18, 2011 Super User Posted March 18, 2011 keitech features tungsten head Yes, but the question isn't about Keitech jigs. Quote

My state is banning all lead next year. lead free jigs is made out from tungsten like keitech model jig 1 or keitech football Not all lead free jigs are made from tungsten, unless you want all your jigs made in china tungsten ain't the answer. They are usually tun, bismuth or some mixture of tin and bismuth, I don't know what the evo jigs are made from but its probably one of the 3. Quote
Nibbles Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Another possibility might be brass. Bismuth and Brass are pretty close in terms of density from what I remember. Quote
