Thread: ain't no Daiwa jigs!

I have I think 5 different brands I’ve tried. They are all super sharp......but the Daiwa were the sharpest I’ve ever seen. I’ve already got my eye on some more brands to try once Japanese EMS mail resumes.

And my wife thinks I have too many raw jigs!
Just a thought, but perhaps Daiwa is in the process of shifting their jig production away from China, and will resume once relocated.

Could be.....but in my short 8 years experience of buying JDM gear when they take it off the website it is out of production. I hope they continue to produce them but I’m going on the hunt for something new.

I’m in the same boat... really would like some more 1 gram jigheads :/

Are these the jigs y'all are talking about? There's a few on Ebay if they are

Was able to get some stock from Plat in the glow color (1.5g/#8) and the last 4 packs of black. No 1 gram except a few in #10 which I snagged (for bluegill/shellcrackers). Could always paint the glow color black with some nail polish, but they seem to work as well as the black. My top-performing hand-tie is tied on a Daiwa glow head 1.5g #8, tied in gold/chartreuse. A crappie killer.

I bought some more Tict Azista in the 1g SS hook, these are my new favorites for bream fishing with red-wigglers or the Renosky minnow. Also got some Cultiva worm heads in 1g to try.
