Super User roadwarrior Posted March 13, 2010 Super User Posted March 13, 2010 Big day today fishing GMAN's 3/4 oz custom jig with Big O's Rage Tail Lobster as a trailer. The presentation is about the size of a softball and makes a statement: Little guys stay away! I'm pretty sure my first fish today will be my best largemouth this year. The second fish, the little one, looked to be 5-6 lbs. http://www.siebertoutdoors.com/ ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 14, 2010 Author Super User Posted March 14, 2010 I know... :-[ That's why I make no claim as to size. So many guys on this forum, like yourself, post up fish that are weighed and have pictures. I love the pics, too! :'( Quote
BigEbass Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Its ok man - I forgive you - congratz on the big catches!! I keep hearing about this mop jig lately - I am gonna have to give it a whirl on my southern LM's Quote
Super User Shane J Posted March 14, 2010 Super User Posted March 14, 2010 Right on, man! That's what I'm talkin' about! That's funny, a 5-6lb "little" fish. Quote
HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Is GMAN's Mop jig a custom take off of the Buckeye Mop jig? I love the idea of the original Mop jig, but the paint is weak, as is the cheap weed guard. Four hours in and the jig head only had paint left on the top and there were only 4 strands left on the weed guard : 8 hours later, two jig heads shinning with lead, and barley any strads left on the weed guards. > Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 14, 2010 Author Super User Posted March 14, 2010 All GMAN jigs are hand made and durable, although I still tend to lose a lot. Rocks, trees and stumps really like them, too! Generally, he uses Mustad hooks, but I think the Mop Jig is made with a 6/0 Owner. Based soley on the picture of the Buckeye Mop jig on their website, GMAN's jig appears to have twice as many strands. I have never has any issue with his weedguards or paint. 8-) Quote

So then the answer to my question would be yes, and they are a custom made version of the original. If that is the case, were can I spend my money to get some? Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted March 14, 2010 Author Super User Posted March 14, 2010 Found more hungry girls today. Missed two bites, but landed three. Five bites in two, 2 hour trips with a break to BPS. All in all, a pretty good day! I have more Mop jigs on the way. 8-) Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted March 15, 2010 Super User Posted March 15, 2010 That's great, I'm glad you whaked'em hard. No pictures though only means they were dinks Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Dang RW, you didnt waste any time getting those things wet. Good to see they produced great fish for ya. How much did those fatties weigh? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 15, 2010 Author Super User Posted March 15, 2010 I'm getting beat up for no pics and no scale... So, I'll say, they were probably at least tournament "keepers". Quote

NewAngler Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 I LOVE the buckeye mop jigs. BUT I will probably be placing an order to GMAN, the do look mooooney. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 I'm getting beat up for no pics and no scale... So, I'll say, they were probably at least tournament "keepers". In your terms I got a good idea of what they weighed. I seriously doubt they were t-keepers. I would say your being overly conservative. Good to hear you caught some. I wanted to take the boss out with me but it rained and a cold front hit friday. Hopefully this weekend I can get her out there. Quote
tyrius. Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Those look good!! I'll have to pick some up in my next order. Quote
Big-O Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 WTG RW....Planning on lobbin' a few Lobsters myself this weekend and GMAN does make a fine jig for sure Big O www.ragetail.com Quote
