Button Jig

I just picked up this (new to me) Button Jig Mold and thought some might like to see it. It looks similar to the Aspirin or Pill head. It comes like the pictures below or without any barb at all. Just a plain Button Head. It makes putting eyes on a breeze and I had to do paint up a few w/ quickie eyes. I might pick up some of the 3D to try. I also found a little history about this style. The head design of the Aspirin Head Jig was originally the brainchild of legendary Dale Hollow smallmouth angler Billy Westmoreland. The head is round, thin and mounted vertically on the hook shank. This creates an enticing wiggle as it falls, rises, or simply swims through the water.

Nice looking jigs NP.
Hey, I tried one of those single strand weedless jigs the other day. I was at EF Sunday and I pitched that thing in all kinds of stuff and I never did get it hung up. I'd have to check it but I believe it had a #4 hook and I never lost a fish on it either. Nice jig. I'll post more as I play with them a little more. I was switching from the 1/32oz single stand and the 1/16 brush type. I didn't lose either but my trip was cut short with the storms.

Thanks for the feedback on these single strand weedless Max! I'm glad they are helping you fill your Lucky Bucket.

I've been working with another something that will be HOT when the bugs are worked out. When I get a little closer to getting them right, I'll send you some to try. Here is the first sneek preview. But keep it quiet for a while!!!

Oh, and here are a few of the 1/32 and 1/16 with their coats tied on. I'm betting the Slabs will crush them when fished under a strike indicator...

I'm with you on the pony-heads, but I'm a little less supportive of the double charge for T-Bone! :) I want some of the pony-heads! I know, PROWLER should charge me double!:D

Yea charging T-BONE double aint right...............prob should make it triple, there that's better.....

Apparently you can not sell the pony jigs with bling, so I guess no one will be buying them, round heads with bling are fine with me.

Never say never....

charge me double???the weedless ponyhead with the gold hook was my idea..i get royalties..james you aint getting none unless you call me daddy !!!i want 100 of those with the blades on em for sure .a casters and trollers dream..paint those babies up and the fish wont be able to resist!!james dont get none ...hahaha

To late essay......he done sent me 10k of them for free to try out, he said don't worry about any $ because he'd make it up on what he will charge you for them......

I hit CC yesterday testing out the pony weedies and a few others. The water in some coves was blackish. I fished lay downs in the main lake and mouths of coves. I was using chart/grn head and blk/chart grn tail or chart/glitter swim baits. Casting and slowly dragging them just off the bottom through the limbs. I set the hook as soon as I felt any tap at all. I ended the day with 19 keepers. Some were still loaded with eggs and some were spewing them while unhooking and releasing them. The water temp was 80-degree. While getting ready to leave, I ran into two guys from downtown Cincinnati that was fishing the lake for the first time. I asked if they did any good and they had 3 crappies. He said his kids love to watch him clean fish, so I offered him mine. Talk about some big smiles. The temps were in the 90's and cleaning the fish lost its appeal. Overall the pony weedies were a huge success and only lost one. I'll be ordering some blades this week. The hammered Indiana blade worked better than the willow. The small willow blade would stick to the plastic body some times. I pool tested some 00 Colorado’s and they seem to work good also, but the Indiana’s worked the best. Do you guys have any suggestions? I'll try to get some pictures later.
FYI: I've made some micro weedies and doing some testing on them. They passed the rose bush test with flying color...lol.

Those hammered blades are great.
I would think a little larger blade would be good also.

When it's hotter than hell out side....a weedless pony with a little flash and of course a gold hook just falling through a tree top.
Nothing can top that....except maybe adding a (gold w/flake) nibble.

And the prototypes with BLING!!! Yes, these are powder painted and cured rock solid.
