Tony,

Do you make the DUKE in 2oz. with a 3/0 hook for fluking?

Your jigs look good.

Sorry can't do 2 oz. With 3/0 hook hooks just too small for mold--i scaled down the molds from the facrory that fit 8/0 hooks standard in the 2 oz.
Retooledand had custom molds made to fit 5/0
head cavity and body just can't do 3/0
sorry--i can do a smaller profile 91715 hook in 5/0 smaller profile than stanadard eagle claw 635 hook

Tony, that is Just One, but a major one, of the things that sells me on your jigs, especially the minnow head style, is the hooks your buidling them on stay in proportion to the jig body.

That is the one thing I hate about the Spros, soon as you go up to 3 oz or more, the hooks get way too large for the jig, in humble but fairly well tested opinion using your jigs, the hook up ratios are way higher with the better sized hook your offering, PLUS your cost is nearly half of the same in a Spro? Dont go thinking you can raise those prices on us though :razz:
Plus the fact they hold their hair and paint far beyond the China made stuff. :thumbsup: Cant wait to fish the new ones I got from you!

not even a small increase??? joking - thanks frank for the kind words
hook size on jigs is one of my specialties i spent a bunch of money finding the right mold maker to get these in custom sizes.. after years of fishing for fluke with bucktails and not finding the right hook to jig head ratio i
finally decided to make them myself..
i believe they work better than any jig on the market --these are not mass produced factory jigs coming from china--these are all hand-tied and made from start to finish by me and me alone..i stand behind them and put my name and reputation in each jig. my hooks are quality, don't bend, rust or give out on big fish..from the 3/8 on up
last season i landed 8+ lb. fluke on my 3/8 jig..try that with other jigs out there and you're taking some real chances.
every product i put out is tested by me and friends and family before i ever think of selling it..if it doesn't perform i won't sell it.
quality at a fair price.. that's our mission..
that's why i'm proud to be a part of the bass barn, joining the other vendors, sponsers and advertisers who believe this way and live it everyday..
thanks

Tony,

I fish for fluke from a party boat in A.C. w/ tap dancer rig & need 2 oz. of weight & 10lb. P.P. to get on the bottom. What do you recommend?

Thanks, JJ

 

[PalmersTackle]

depends--where do you fish inlet ie highroller, back bay, or out front in ocean..i have fished the brigantine inlet and oceanfront for fluke with
1 1/2- 2 oz. bucktails and 15 lb. tuff line xp..many times
found them to be the best weight and the colors are pretty consistant
chartruese/white--hot pink in bright sunlight
glow or white in cloudy condition/dirty water many other things work as well but these are the base jigs i always go to first
try tipping your jig with shorter squid strips or gulp penny shrimp or glow curl tales i had alot of success with them last season in those waters
i really don't care for the tap dancer rig i think the eye placement at 60 degrees doesn't move right try one ogf the ball rigs with the 90 degree eye i think you'll be more happy with the results

jersey jerry --also try this you can make them up or i'd be happy to do it for you--
2 oz. bucktail tied at bottom of 30" leader of you choice--(i recommend at least 20 lb. test for that area..) then about 12-15" up tie a dropper loop about 3" out from standing line, fit a 3/8 oz. bucktail on the dropper with a real small piece of bait , squid, or just a small bulp curly tail and hang on
jig it and i think you'll be pleased with the results--you'll find 75% of the fish are caught on the 3/8 jig up top..this method works and works well
throw away the tap dancer rig once you try this way you will never go back----welcome to the dark side!!!!!!!!!
