What do you want from a jighead

[mburrows]

Very nice. Let us know when they are available.

They are available. Mark just became my first CB angler customer 10 minutes ago!

Just got a sampling of the work on these. They are well designed and well made! Putting in an order now!

Check the PM Francis.

Francis, I don't think you have enough lead to be pouring all these jigs man

I've been pouring for almost a year now and am getting sick of it. The trolling baits are more fun, especially when you see them produce first hand. I personally think those eagle claw hooks are too small for the 10 inch BKD but for the price, they will do. I have had other hooks straighten on big fish before but probably my fault for horsing the fish in. I wish someone would make a strong enough hook with a wide gap for the 10 inchers. The owners are good but over a dollar a pop- no thanks. I called Owner and Gamma and they both said they will make me a special hook but I have to buy by the 10,000's

Dave,
I am using the Eagle Claw 7/0 635's for the big lures. I think they got plenty of gap for the big plastics. What size EC's were you looking at?

I guess there is always some trade off between quality and price. I don't see the extra money worth it.

We got to get together soon and compare ntoes.

Francis,

Don't get me wrong, those are the best hooks for the $$, especially if you are going to lose them to the bottom of the rips, pilings, etc. But they aren't as sharp as i'd like to see a hook, especially for light tackle. I went out to the shed to compare a couple and you are right, there is plenty of gap in the EC's and they are stronger than the others in its price range but not nearly as sharp out of the box. All in all- that hook is going to be great for what it is... cheap, strong and sharp enough. I'll make up some Owners and we can get Greg to call us in on some birds down the beach and duel it out!

[Francis]

Haha there you go!

I agree that the EC's aren't as sharp out of the box as the gama's or owners.

I was thinking the other day I am going to creat a premium line of jigheads. They will be more expensive than the others, but will be designed to use when the fishing is real tough or when there stakes are high. Prototypes to be developed this weekend. . .
