I've used D&L products for the past few years. Best jig you can use. The Advantage Jig is nothing like Mann's stone jig. As far as copying goes Cumberland Pro has done its fair share of copying D&L products and colors. D&L makes one heck of a jig.

If you guys are looking for a local company that makes jigs, shakey heads, and buzzbaits you might want to try Legal Limit Lures, makes a great product, and they still are pretty inexpensive. I have used them, and they are a great product. Check his website out, and order a couple, the guys name is Jeff, super guy to deal with.

I'll second that----especially his football head jigs. They just look great.If you guys are looking for a local company that makes jigs, shakey heads, and buzzbaits you might want to try Legal Limit Lures, makes a great product, and they still are pretty inexpensive.

But, I will say that D&L also makes some nice jigs. D&L has that "baby advantage" I think. The one that comes in 3/16 and 5/16. I really like those and I realy like that Cumberland craw color. I don't care who came up with it.
It's kind of like any other bait out there. Most companies have a few nice products and some not so nice. I pick what I like or who I feel makes the best product.
LOL---just ask Jeff at Legallimits---I think I now have about 50 or so jigs from him.
Finding a "local" that makes a great product is good. I consider anybody from KY a "local" and I always try and buy from them first.
Yep, I have to agree Jeff made me some special request colors and hook combinations a few years ago. I also purchased a spinnerbait or two from him...very accommodating manI'll second that----especially his football head jigs. They just look great.

I have been following this post pretty close. I love Jigs, but don't have near the background fishing them as most of you - I have only been concentrating on them the last two years. I have used some of the last cast stuff, but not any of the D&L, but they do look similar - they also look similar to the other 100 or so custom and manufactured jigs I have seen. I don't think it matters who copied who, as long as they are catching me fish - I don't care if it was bought at Wal-Mart or the guy down the street made them for me. Actually I did have the guy down the street take a close look at some of the D&L color combos to make me a few jigs. I almost prefer having jigs made for me- I seem to have a little more confidence fishing something I had a part in making. I plan on spending next winter learning how to make my own - and I will be copying all kinds of stuff.
