At 2 dollars a pop that could get expensive, especially in a creek where the depth changes so radically....has anybody found any jigs that work as well (preferrable at Walmart) as the punisher jigs....it seems maribu jigs are cheap and plentiful but I haven't tried them yet.....not sure my un-nimble fingers could tie the things anymore..even if I could find the right stuff to make them out of.
I to lose a lot of jigs, I do get most of my snags free, by troling in to the bank trying to get behind my jig, from the direction, i was fishing it. then stick the end of the rod down to the water and just shake it, comes loose most of the time.
