ParkerFly Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 These were discontinued years ago, that I know, but aim curious if anyone can identify this jig. It had a weed guard and skirt at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkerFly Posted June 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 No, they were given to me by a guide in central arkansas at least 10 years ago. Maybe 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I have never come across a jig like that, my guess is was a saltwater or a custom head. The reason I say saltwater is because of the collar, it has a really deep collar with a large bottom and you normally see that with squid skirts and not regular silicone or rubber skirts that bass anglers typically use.

BLT Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Doubt it is a saltwater jig, they don't use weed guards that I have ever seen in my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNC Molds N Stuff Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 It looks like a custom or semi custom "flair" jig. Often they are used in saltwater, but I have made a couple flair jig molds for freshwater guys as well. The deep collar with the exaggerated ridge causes the feather,fur,etc to stick out very wide away from the jig. When its pulled through the water it lays down, and then flairs back out wide again as the jig slows down again. It gives a really impressive pulsing action as it scoots through the water on some types of faster pause and go retrieves as well. Most I've done were not weedless, but adding a slot for a pin is not a big deal at the time its made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 I am probably remembering wrong, but it sure looks like some that "Stamina" tackle made about forever ago. I use to have some of those, in 3/4 or 1 oz sizes, that used for what is now called "punching". The deep color helped hold skirts on better when going through thick matted vegetation and the weed guard is obvious. I use to have to superglue plastics on it. Get with Lurepartsonline.com, who once was Stamina, and see if they have it in their archive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have seen several custom Squid head molds for this, and the feathers natural bends going all different directions so the flare is really pronounced. Tackle shop owner I deal with just showed me a picture of one they used at the "Outer Banks" off the coast of the Carolina's last week. Not weedless though.
