Done a search yesterday for lil no alibi jig(used in 50s and 60s) last one i bought was in Taft fl in 1965 used them for flounder but would like to buy or tie some for specks but they are like hen's teeth. Did find a couple of good articles in the archives by guys that are familiar with the jig. Am i out of luck finding a picture of one or a place to buy them??--thanks for any help.--shu
Not at all like the one i'm looking for, should be made with chicken feathers and a cover of plastic about half way up. made before the mylar like material. Thanks for the pic, is this a current item?--shu
Yep that's a jig currently being sold - the pic was more for the jig head shape. I know which one you're talking about but I'll have to root around to see if I can find a pic of it.
i think we called them a Goin Jessie back in tha day:cheers2
Attachment 202280 I BET THESE ARE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. I HAD MANY GOOD CHATS WITH THE GENTLEMEN THAT MADE THESE AND HAVE SOME ORIGINALS HERE SOMEWHERE..
That's it. Used the white one the most and would like to tie some for fishing the pads and grass. Thanks for the picture.--shu
Got to looking at fishing tackle this afternoon and found an old 4 tray jig box and in it are 10 no alibi jigs, yellow, white and green plastic w/white feathers. will take some pics and take a couple apart to see how they're put together. Can't remember where they came from, does that mean i'm getting past prime or just have too much fishing stuff????--shu
I have made a version for fresh water but never for salt water. The fresh ones worked pretty well for the guy I made them for...lol. If I could just remember where I put those pictures...lol..of all the fish he caught..

YUP:biggrin Just kidding, at my age --"been there -doing that" Ole
A guy in Rock Hill SC still makes the alibi jigs. All the local tackle stores has them in all the colors that he makes them in. I ordered from him maybe 15 years ago and he would only do $50 and up orders. His name is James Covington and is getting up in age so I'm not sure if he sales to the public anymore.
