Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone could ID this jig. I used to have a bunch but they have been lost to the depths. They are kinda flimsy and the hook is soldered on(they are somewhat weakly attached)

They came in the long example I have in the album and a short stubby fish shaped light jig, with the red dot.

Thanks everyone in advance!

I can't recall exactly what they are called but I saw them for sale at the store just south of Gino's a couple weeks ago, right at the register.

if you like those try the ken or jack spoons.

Im not sure what kinda jig it is either but I have one of similar style except its chartruse with red dots on.I had it for long time I either bought it at selfridge bait and tackle or Gander Mountain.

don't think these are the exact same one (obviously different color), but:

matter of fact, i think i either have or had the exact same jig as you posted white it being like a white with red dot... i can't remember if i still have it or not though. mine was REAL old... like older than me (it was from my grandfathers stuff that i inherited).

Yep! Russian hook! Baited w/wigglers used to kill on Conger Bay. I still use them though I am now armed with Harry's jigs. Those were pearl white with a red dot also in chrome.

Hey man, no offense from me :D I'm 21, everything is old to me;)

Thanks everyone. I killed the perch last year with the smaller version out off Cotton. The white and dull silver seemed to be the bomb for atleast a few weeks last season.

GL all and Thanks.

Nice find and I have a good story. Those jigs were my grandfather's favorite. Well many moons ago, he couldn't find them anymore so he sent a letter to Art Best and they ended up sending him a whole card of jigs for free. I think I still have some of them in his old ice-fishing sled - maybe even the card too.
