joelhains Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I've had some ideas over the years and I revisited them and tried some new things today. I like the results and I think these will be real fish catchers. Looking for some feedback. I'm also curious if the jigs with the spinner blades are "too close" to Road Runners jigs If I ever decide to try selling these. What do you think?

cadman Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Nice way to think outside the box. Also those jigs are not even close to Road Runners. I don't think you'll jhave problems. The big issue with Blakemore is the horse head with the barrel swivel and blade. Yours is not even close to that. Do-It does have molds similar to Blakemores supposed patent, and Do-It does say on their description, that "You may be infringing on patent issues" or something similar to that. I think you are good with your design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I'd like to know if you have any problems with fish hitting that blade under the grub. Please report back after some outings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mulholland Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Underspins are nothing new by any means, you'll be fine with that design I am certain. Look up underspin jigs and see different styles for a few different ideas on various ways to improve/alter the design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 The closet thing to what you did there is the swarming hornet under spin. Under spin lures are great for summer time suspended fish, I don't know why but they seem to be the only thing that makes those fish bite. Nice work all around.
