JIGS

[QUOTE=ekubassfsher;379034]Naked Craw or Barren Craw are my favorites. Brian will be able to give you more info about your brown and orange color and which color he would prefer out of his selection.[/QUOTE]
What color is barren craw? There wasn't a picture on the site.

I also still use Stan Sloans...the new ones do have stronger hooks in them and are a little bit better than the old ones thats for sure...but i still havent found a better one than Brians

Sean makes 4 different styles of jigs and will do just about anything you want or can think of... He has a color chart on his website and can custom make a skirt for you... For a brown and orange he makes a color called voodoo that throws in a little green pumpkin and then has a possum color that is even better.. Both colors very successful for me this year...

As far as the excel line goes... I work at BP and we have had a lot of this and including myself and what I think is the problem is we went to a different company to make our line so it isn't the same stuff it used to be... I like the xps flouro and haven't had problems with it but i bought a large spool of the mono and have had problems with it...

Doesn't anyone use D&L Jigs? I have been throwing them pretty much exlusively for the last 2 years and have had the best two years of fishing ever.

I use to throw D & L until I found a product that works better for me. Plus D & L kept changing the jig I threw and it wasn't as good as it us to be. Where do you buy D & L in Cinci Bassnyde ?

I have tried all brands of jigs, Stanley, Hoppy's, Strike King, D&L, Omega, Booya and too many others to name. As of two years ago, when I tried my first Cumberland Pro jig after a buddy's recomendation, I have stopped looking for a good jig.

Cumberland Pro jigs, in all models, are simply the best made jigs I have ever fished. I fish a jig a lot, the hooks are Gammies, the color selection is endless (he offers a lot more than what you see on the website [URL="http://www.cumberlandprolures.com"]www.cumberlandprolures.com[/URL]), and the quality is superb. I was so impressed by the jigs that I tried his other lines of lures also, I now fish only Cumberland Pro Shakey Heads, Buzzbaits and Spinnerbaits(day&night-time). His spinnerbaits, like his jigs, are the best I have ever used and again the combo of blade styles and colors is endless.

I have tried many bait manufacturers over time, having fished tourney's for going on 11yrs, but Cumberland Pro jigs and spinnerbaits are the only lures that I have recommended to my fishing buddies were 100% of them switched to the product I recommended, usually somebody has a particular "something" he likes about another bait, not the case with these lures.

Take $20 and go buy a couple of his spinnerbaits and jigs and see for yourself, and save yourself a lot of time like I did trying to find something better. Cumberland Pro is the Best.

Thanks for the info. I was wondering about the spinnerbaits and buzzbaits. I need to find a new buzzbait since they don't make Picasso buzzbaits anymore.
