Those look the V3 Phenix blades to me. Allen

I have a few packs that I will sell. Allen

I make my own as well using jigheads from Cast. Allen

Chartreuse dynamite gets them every time. Allen

That green and orange Keitech is the best sunfish imitating trailer hands down. Allen

Small finesse worm is about all I use along with a cylinder or bullet weight in 1/8oz. Allen

Married and for some reason she has not said anything about it yet. The lead pouring table on the side of the house has been brought up though. Allen

TJ's is who I bought mine from as well now that you mention the name. The only modification I have done is bevel the inside edge of the bed and outside edge of the cups. Allen

You need to post a video towing that thing around some other fisherman talking about how you are trolling for the big ones and post it here. Allen

My #1 producing jerkbait is a LC Pointer 65sp in a Japanese color I bought off ebay about a decade ago. A couple years ago I was fishing from the bank below a dam after work for several days and lost it. In 3 days I had close to 150 fish during the evenings after work. I went down the next evening with a scuba mask and got my lure back! (along with about 20 others). The Game Warden who watched what I was doing said I was crazy for a single lure but it was worth it. The lure is semi-retired as it is on its 14th set of treble hooks and they have almost crewed through the plastic as the paint is long gone. When I say semi-retired I still carry it around but am afraid to use it since I have others but it has permanently earned a spot in the tackle box. Allen

Depends on what you are trying to duplicate? If it is a craw and you are dragging the bottom then use the same trailer as your other jigs. Most of the time I am fishing a swim jig I am trying to imitate some sort of other fish. For open water a 4" grub works but most of the time I am fishing in or over shallow water grass. My top 3 are; Keitech 3.8" Fat impact, 4" Pline Kick-R minnow, and Damiki Anchovy shad all of which are boot tail minnows. Other baits work but I found 4" is the perfect size as 3.5" is to short and the skirt interferes with the trailer and the 4-5" is too long. Allen

Like others I have quit using them for some reason? They never seemed to work in Lakes but man did the Potomac River smallmouth just crush them. On hot summer evenings we use to wade and fish them below the dams on a spinning rod. Stand with your back to the dam, cast as far downriver as possible then leave the bail open. Hold the rod tip high and listen for the buzzing and when it stopped set the hook. Honestly I think the reason I stopped using them was the Tiger Muskies around here started to steal them all the time. Allen

I looked into making my own years ago but for the $40 price tag it wasn't worth it. Mine isI bought off eBay like 10 years ago works great and is one of the best investmentsi have for lure making.

If you can't catch fish on a Smallie Beaver or similar bait in the state of Maryland then take up a new hobby.

Everyone should carry a few of these in their tackle bag. For days when they will hit any spinnerbait I recommend them. Wire or zip tie the skirts down and you are set.

If you are interested in making your own I am sure Seibert would sell you just the jigheads. Allen

Swim Jig that I make and a LC 1.5 in BE Gill is what I have been using. Allen

If your lake happens to by Black Hills Lake Seneca or Piney Run Reservoir then use a smallie beaver or something similar. Allen

This is my #1 producing jig period and I started using them when I was in MO. It is a 5/16oz with a 4/0 Mustad 32798 hook and Zoom Super Chunk Jr. all in green pumkin. I have caught fish in 5 states and all different water clarities using it. Allen

Cheap jigs that are available locally would be the Booyah Boo or Strike King Bitsy. Like others I make my own because I like what I like and it keeps the cost down. Allen

I have some 1/0 light wire Mustads that work. Allen

Great advice above. I spent several months in MO for the Army and was able to fish a lot. Finesse style jigs like an Eakins in Green pumkin, black, and PB&J worked the best. Looking at the local craws like Tom suggested is how I came to start using PB&J. In both the Big Piney and Meramec the crayfish were brown with a purple hue. The craws here in Maryland are the same color brown but no hue. Allen

I have to ask, why such a thick hook on a finesse jig? Normally for something like this I am using 8lb line so I need a thinner wire hook.

I do not use one but they can be useful in the right conditions. One of the PRO's did a video years ago where he had like a 5' fiberglass rod and spincast reel. He was using the rod like bow and arrow to shoot the bait way under some docks. Allen
