Vmc Gliding Jigs

  These things look sort of cool.  I just might have to order some from Tackle Warehouse.

Very Interesting concept - 

 

My creative (but Limited) little brain is coming up with all kinds of possibilities for this one.

 

Thanks for sharing it.

[Fishes in trees]

In olden times (early 80's)  guys I knew in local bass clubs would take off brand Johnson Silver Minnow imitations, cut off half the weed guard and bend the remainder of the weed guard with needle nose pliers to make a worm holder, similar to the part on the gliding jig except it was fixed rather than removable.  Various plastics could then be fish in a tx rig style.  I tried it with mixed results,  I think that if I'd been better with a bait caster then, I might have done better.   The bait overpowered the spinning rigs I commonly used at that time.

 

Good to know that every so often an idea gets recycled.   That looks like a better executed design than the early 80's edition.

Wow, talk about flashbacks... my dad used to cast lead jigs very similar to this in the '60s for specks and reds.

Tried one Thursday night, not overly impressed. Had an interesting action, but it wasn't interesting to any fish. Once I switched to a plain Slider head they were biting my finesse worm though, so it wasn't the worm.

Reviving this old thread. 

 

I picked up up two packs last week one of each blade style. Paired it with a trick worm and absolutely love it. Crushed them on it had one of my best days of the year on normally finicky hard to catch fish. Took a little getting used to detecting the bite but these things are awesome
