I'm a believer in using noise to attract specs. I read about this jigs recently and I was wondering if anyone has used them. The head of the jig looks kind of big for the soft plastic lure. I wonder if it would split the soft plastic and make it difficult to stay on the jig.
I fish because the voices in my head tell me to. |

I have not seen them, and I am a firm believer that noise and motion attract more than color. where did you see them??
when i die bury me deep, put a bucket of bait at my feet, put a rod and reel in my hand and i will fish my way to the promised land !!!! remember we did not inherit these resources from our parents, we are merely borrowing them from our children |

They were featured on one of the local fishing shows last week.
Here is the link to their webpage.

I have used them on my last two trips. Very well constructed, and good hook sets. I will be buying more.

Thanks Broc. I went to Professional's yesterday and picked up a pack. Kinda pricey, $4.60 for 3 jig heads but if they catch fish they are worth it.

I'm LOL at the pricy comment. My brother had a stingray on his line and didn't want to cut it. His comment was, I'm getting my rockport jig head back and he did....

Their site does not list Academy as a local dealer for the Jighead.

Ed, The web sight is not showing anything in MS. The only thing close to Biloxi would be Gus's Tackle in Slidell.
