    Im guessing you are talking Draggin Jigs from BfishN. Was just using them this afternoon. Not for walleyes but casting them in some very thick timber for white bass. Never lost one jig.

    Not a better jig on the market for dragging up some walleyes. You might get by dragging a regular jig in the sand for them but wouldn’t want anything else for dragging in the rocks or with some timber around.

    Work very well for pitching sticky wingdams to. Fish want a slow presentation where you just crawl the jig over the rocks this is the jig you want.

    About the only thing they dont really shine at is vertical jigging. They will work is you are jigging snaggy conditions but if not a regular old gumball works fine. Gumball will give you that nice thunk when hitting bottom to let you know you are there. Draggin jig is more of soft lay on the bottom where. It was never designed with vertical jigging in mind.

    I also use them mainly for draggin and I like them. Jigs are a little expensive but are good.

    Come on Andrew! 2 for $2.49?

    You walleye guys will spend $20. on jigs that never get tied on the end of your line.

    They aren’t expensive when you figure they are a top quality jig that will last the life of 5 other top quality jigs that will be lost in snags.

    The bfishn jigs are a lot better quality than most you see on the market, and the price reflects that!

    This guy here learned that lesson this winter. Left my jig box open and sitting on the boat in the garage all winter. All the jigs I poured with cheap hooks are rusted out (including factory luck e strike, northland, and some others), the ones poured with gamas, VMC, and owners are all perfectly fine.. including my limited supply of bfishn jigs. Just got 1000 GOOD jig hooks in the mail today to replenish my supply and will be placing an order online for some more bfishn jigs (I pour my own unpainted for plastics and then buy painted jigs for live bait). Lesson learned, have a pile of about 400 rusted jigs that will be melted down for decoy weights sometime.

    I have used them and they’re good. A lot longer shank than standard walleye jigs. The weedguard was completely trashed and worthless after 2 fish.
