Jewell has always used Mustad hooks in the past. Personally I like the 32798 Mustad for all finesse jigs. Looking at that jig its just made with fine cut silicone, nothing special about it IMO.

Not an inline expert but my guess is that the blade in too big compared to the weight of the bait. I have seen this happen with spinnerbaits when a blade is too big or close to the line tie point.

Tried calling him several times over the past 3 months and never heard from him. If anyone has his Paypal address please PM me so I can send him some money to help.

Going to try and make some of these myself using a Neko weight that I sand into a point. Figure I can just mold it then cut out a place for the hook and pour.
