I just read the history of Talon with some of the members here : For someone who just wants to try the MJ rig in small quantities without buying the individual pieces in larger quantities to construct - Talon (and others like them making the MJ rig) are a good option . If you REALLY like it then I see no reason why you can't make yourself in bulk then ...In the end it's your personal business who you buy from .

We don't take companies threatening members with lawsuits lightly.  Whenever that company is brought up, I expose her behavior towards potential customers.

I viewed the post you linked to, i fail to see anything proprietary with the rig, unless i viewed the wrong link or something.

That would be like claiming you had a patent on the freaggin' Texas Rig worm, LOL

After further consideration - I agree with you ... What Talon did is basically assemble hardware and sell it - me thinks thou (Talon) protest too much !

You screw a hitchhiker into the tail end of a senko.  Attached to the hitchhiker is a swivel and spinnerbait blade.

 

 

 

Wouldn't you lose that to a bass pretty quickly?

Probably.  I don't use the rig.

I do something similar except I use a Zappo Twin blade and slide the hook point into the line hole on the twin blade.  The twin blades are then sitting under the bottom of the worm attached to the hook.  You'll never lose a blade, unless you lose the hook! Works like a charm.  You can even cut off one blade if you want a single blade setup, FYI Zappo twin blade rigged to an Owner beast hook keel weighted, and a 4.8 Keitech, DEADLY!

Thanks, JF.   I'd never seen that.  I'd considered buying the Talon mj's when this thread started.  But, since I was placing an order to Barlows to start making stuff this winter, I added on the mj pieces.  Very glad I did.

 

BTW, I spent a fair amount of time last night putting some together.  Did it outside since I wanted to have a cigar while I did it.  Even with my clumsy fumblefingers in the near darkness I was able to put a half dozen together without bending or losing more than 3 or 4 split rings....lol.  I plan to try and throw one this weekend...if it isn't snowing, anyway

 I got:

Split Rings - Standard (Size 3 - 100 Count Pack)  $4.59

Nickel Willow Spinner Blades Smooth Finish (Size 3 - 10 Count Pack)  $1.39

Barrel Swivels (Size 10 - 24 Count Pack, Black)  $1.59

Lok-On Coil Keeper (25 Count Pack)  $2.95

* Also try downsized version using a 4" stick worm of your choice with a #2 or #2.5 willow or Colorado blade - works great when bass want a slightly smaller profile !!
