    Your H20 Precision jigs in the 1/8 to 1/4 oz. are all I’m using up here on Rainy Lake. The Orange/Chartruesse color combo is awesome. Do you make the orange firetiger in the 1/4 oz also??? I’m assuming so. GREAT JIGS!!!!!! I am very fired up to use the ringworms and paddletails on our fall plastic bite here on the river and the lake. I did very well this spring with them. The oyster color was fantastic! I’m not sure if everyone understands the benefit of using your jigs with the bait keepers on live bait as well. When I fish jig and minnows I always run the jig through the mouth out the gill and then turn the hook around bending the minnow to get as far back as I can with the minnow ending up straight and not curved after being hooked. Then run that hook straight up through the back. Having the plastic keeper wedged into the minnows mouth gives the jig two holding points and minnows will last much longer jigging and casting. The other thing you earn a big KUDOS on is the narrowing of the jig towards the back makes a nice tapered transition to the minnows mouth!!! GREAT JIGS AWESOME PAINT JOBS, AND THE FISH HERE ON RAINY ARE DEVOURING THEM!!!!

    Got this bad boy yesterday morning at 7:15. He started across the valley from us gobbling like mad for about 45 mintues. He shut up for a bit and all at once we heard something crashdown in the woods behind us about 7:05. Ten minutes later he was strutting in the field at about 25 yards from the blind and I bagged him. 22.5 pounds. Going out again Thursday to try and fill my buddies tag as well.

    Got to say thanks to my friend Brian for his excellent guide work and to the tom for showing up in my shooting window and not his.
