Nice cat but would hate to tie into one on my new BnM jig pole. like to catch kitty fish in the spring when the water is cold. Now that is some good eating with fries and hushpuppies. Your jig looks good and sounds like you have done your homework on design. One of the reasons that it might attract cats is that it might resemble the golden carp minnow. Just a thought but we use them on the trotlines and they catch some nice big cats.
