Actually the Slab Daddy jigs that the OP was referring to are not jigs tied by fellow C.c member Slabdaddy. The jigs he was referring to are manufactured by Blakemore. The Blakemore SlabDaddy jigs are good jigs, but like a lot of other mass produced factory jigs , some folks say they just do not hold up as well as good hand tied jigs. I however have had good luck with them. The Thumpit jigs that Skip ties are very similar and will hold up good. Jigs by Shipahoy will hold up good also. There are a lot of good jig tiers on this board. Sizes and colors of jigs are duplicated everyday.
