    Default Jig heads


    I have been asked in the past by several what style jig do i use. I haven't put you guys off just had a lot going and wanted to wait until i could show ya some picts. I fish a lot of thick and nasty log, stump, tree, brush pile ridden places. I discovered these little gems last year and they have really helped me cut down on my hook loss. These hooks when stuck on something can be pulled free and set back in place. I have not had any problem losing fish from them bending out while a fish was on my line. I can just give a pull and keep on going. I am not affiliated with them at all just wanted to pass along information of a great product. I use plastics 99% of the time when trolling and the other 1% a hair jig when single poling. The lite wire hook maker is also a forum sponsor.




    They are a little more expensive than a standard jig head but after you pull free several times and keep on fishing, the extra expense more than pays for itself.

    One of my secrets is out of the hat. Hope it helps some one else.

    X2 on litewire jigs. They come loose from a snag easy and they are sharp as a needle. I've had 'em come through the nose on 12" fish.
    Curtis is really good to work with too. I ordered 300 last week and he had them in the mail the next morning.
    You just gonna sit there an argue, or fish?

    You can get the same affect buy holding a lighter flame under the bend of you standard jig hook for about 20 sec, This takes the temper out and it streightens easly!

    Litewire hooks really are the best for fishing those heavy brush piles or thick cover, I use them and swear by them. Curtis is top notch ! Just try them you will be sold. After all watcha got to loose, but more jigs if ya don't.

    JW, I buy them 1000 at a time and pour my own in 1/8, 1/16 round and 1/8 and 1/16 pony, and same for bullet head. If you like a red hook, you can buy the red dye from machine shop, and dip them. It don't come off.
