The Evo Jig

[HOIST-N-HAWGS]

Previously I had made a negative reference regarding the EVO jig. Yet, since then I would like to retract my negative statment and find myself wishing I had more of them. Confidence in my jig use went down and now having trouble finding them in my local dealers. BP never has them stocked and Dick's seems to only have the older versions and not in the colors I want. I will be ordering a smorgashbord of them in addition to the E2 head(what a great idea!) through the link at the end of this week. It's mind boggling how quick your confidence drops when when you switch from something you have had previous success with!

So, back to my original questions;

#1) How can I change out the skirts when one gets worn or when I want to change to another skirt color when on the water?

#2)Can I purchase just the Evo skirts for back ups?

#3) On the link they only seem to have the black skirts in the lighter weight jigs and wondering why?

#4) Could someone recommend a floating worm for use with the E2 and or the original Evo?

Your response  is greately appreciated!

Thanks,

Paul

Let me say something in response to this. There has been numerous negative comments about the Evolution jig-Oh its a gimmic-Oh its to expensive- A jig is a jig -is a jig. I have heard them all. I am a fisherman first and human as well. At a time in my life I had learned a saying "watch and learn and have patience". Do not be so hasty to judge. For the Evolution Jig and our other products. Believe me people come back and shake my hand and say I appologize for the negative comments. I say no problem-I have been there. Once they gain confidence in a product -weather its ours or anyone elses its tough to do without that product. You should see the hysteria when they are down to the last sqeeze of MegaStrike in their tube. LOL -Talk about Jones-N- Confidence on the water is the most important factor. No offense takin bassectomy-We are here to help fishermen catch more fish. The Evo jig is really revolutionary if you look at it and understand the concept-Its simple. The worst thing we can do as human beings and fishermen is close our minds. Ok if you need to order skirts-just call us. I will get you everything you need. As for changing skirts. just take the old one off-put a needlenose pliers through the rubber band collar-(use the thinest needlenose you can find.)take some megastrike or any type of lube and put it on the head -if you dont you might scratch the paint.Slide the collar over the head. It will be tough until you get the hang of it. Slowly remove the pliers. Adjust the skirt so it is a straight 180degre line across. there should be no skirt material underneath the fulcrum(skidplate) anything underneath is wasted when its laying on the bottom of the lake.Then you actually have twice as much skirt material where it is most warranted. We have black skirts on all sizes of the Evolution Jigs. The worm I use on the Shak-e2 is the regular Zoom Finesse worm. My favorite is watermelon with the chartreuse tail.I also use the Yamamoto cut tails. Believe me -when fishermen really grasp the concept of the Shak-E 2 Head. All other heads will become obsolete.Thanks ,Bobby @Megastrike

Bobby, try dipping that little sucker in some JJ's Magic and a winning combo will become even better...

DUDE!

From someone else, I might have deleted this post, but it struck me as pretty funny:

Bobby = MegaStrike :

JJ's Magic is a sponsor, too, but let's be careful here. We can like them both!

[SPEEDBEAD.]

Wow, didnt even put that together in my head.   :-[

Sorry fellas, my mistake.  

[Alpster]

I can't believe you tried to sell Bobby Megasrike some bait scent.  

Maybe he should try some "Spot Removers"  

Sorry Wayne, I couldn't resist buddy. That post will be a classic forever.

Yep, Yep....I know.

Once again I have typed before thinking.  Surely you know this wont be the last time either....  

[Gatorbassman]

I'm pretty sure that Bobby is open minded. lol  ................. I'm typing this and still laughing at SPEEDBEAD.

Speedbead, you big himbo!

LOL! now thats funny.

[Bobby Uhrig]

LOL You guys kill me. Dont let anyone kid ya though. My garage has more stuff in it than most tackle shops. I buy stuff like everyone else. I support the industry. I have looked at the other liures and say Hmmm if I do this and maybe this -it would be better. Necessity is the mother of invention. I atttribute most of it to working with Tim Simos www.bluewaterimages.net for years. Tim is one of the worlds most renowned underwater photographers. We all kinda have this preconcieved theory or notion of whats happening underwater with both fish and lures. When you go under there and really see whats happening it will blow you away. You will change the way you fish forever. Its like when you go fishing with a theory of what you are going to do. erase that-just go and let the fish tell you what they want and how they want it.

Don't feel bad dude, I was thinking the same thing as I was reading along. I did laugh at your response though. ;D

BTW Bobby, do the newer versions come with stiffer weedguards. I like the jig and love the over-sized hook that comes on it, but It seems to get snagged alot in the gnarly stuff I fish. I heard or read somewhere that the newer versions have stiffer weedguards. Is this true? Thanks!!

that was funny! Just like somebody telling me to go buy some senkos. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D       that made my day right there. b

I may be dumb, but I aint stupid  

Even I know better than that

SPEEDBEAD, that was one of the best OOPS posts I've ever read. Dom told me you were coming up to fish Mauch Chunk Lake. A day on the water with the two of you... you guys should sell tickets!

(Oh and by the way, change your avatar to this for a little while)

[SPEEDBEAD.]

I am pretty sure it will be rated R for profanity....and that is before the boat even gets in the water.

Again, Bobby I apologize.

BTW, would you care to buy some Booyah buzzers?  j/k

O man that was great. ;D

Hey Bassectomy, get those jigs ready for Saturday!

[HOIST-N-HAWGS]

First I laughed ;D then I cried :'( What an emotional roller coaster!

Thanks Bobby extremely appreciated!

Side note: I am formerly from another site and left because of the hijacking of threads and constant belittling of people (who are human after all) for making a mistake, mistatement or asking a dumb question,mostly my dumb questions ;D. I can honestly say, "I know I've found my home!" With people like BobbyMegastrike being here and his positive attitude, (to many more outstanding people here to mention, but not forgotten!)make this site stand out amoungst them all!

Thanks for having me!

So which scent outfishes the other, megastrike or JJ's magic for those that have used it?

Hmm...

I don't know, some guys have had great luck with JJ's, but MegaStrike is a proven winner. I'm not taking sides, but for "everyday use" it's MegaStrike just because it's so easy. MegaStrike has a Vasoline consistancy and comes in an easy to use tube. JJ's stinks, stains, spills and is not eay to carry or clean up. I am NOT knocking JJ's Magic, but you have to be careful and in a semi-controlled situation. Try them both, you will like them for different reasons.

If your not married and want to stay that way, stick with JJ's. :

I studied martial arts from the second highest ranking Shorinjryu martial artist in the world for 13 years. He has tought me a lot about the art and how to carry myself. I would always have questions in class and would be afraid to raise my hand when he would ask"does anyone have any questions/" I had questions but was afraid of the embarassment of looking like an idiot in front of people. Then one day I raised my hand and said "I have a stupid question-he said Bobbyson they only stupid question is the one that isnt asked. - Soon everyone would raise their hands -they told me later that they felt the same as i did.That saying will stay with me the rest of my life. He has taught me so many things. I buried him last June and I miss my buddy. -My favorite saying of his was. I have been to the land of the rising sun. I have seen the best of the best.There is no superman. So speed. there is no stupid questions -screw the other other guys on those other boards.

Thanks again for the laughs,insite and instructions!

I love this place!!  ;D

I agree with the comment about staying single that RW posted.  I am a newlywed and almost ended up single again because of the potency of JJ's!

(It is now kept outside in the original ziploc, a grocery bag, inside of a 1 gallon ziploc and in a rubbermaid container!  haha)
