Don't know how many of u fish with Ron's Zip Jigs or have tried them over the years, however the person that made these (Ron Fleshman) passed a few weeks back, from cancer. He was a personal friend of mine and he had such a passion for fishing and he so loved tying his jigs.
I do know that close friend of Ron's spent a couple of months helping Ron tie his jigs during his illness. Some time prior to his passing this person bought Ron's jig business and is continuing to produce the jigs for Ron's wife's wholesale tackle business. That said, they should remain available at many of the local tackle shops in central Florida.
Ron will be missed by many.
RIP Ron ................

Sorry to hear of his passing, glad his legacy can live on.
May he be fishing on the large lake. RIP

Thank you very very much for the update Peapikr, was aware of Ron's passing, also
was told the business had been sold prior to his passing..........but no one knew any-
thing from that point forward...............So glad you updated us............and product
will be continued in Ron's way..............not by a commercial company.......but the
personal touch put to them.
Thanks again
