I catch for fish on jigs that i make than any other jig i have bought before. Plus i get more color choices... caught more largemouth on a red head red and white skirts swimmin it last year than anything. Plus my bucktail jigs are hard to beat for smallmouth in the summer.. i started makin my own because i couldnt really find one that suited me. I advise everyone to make there own. it's fun. and after ahwile it costs less.. and its alot better to catch one on something you made..lol
