ICAST 2011 | Buckeye Lures Offers Three New Jigs
Posted by Jason Sealock on Thu, Jul 14, 2011 @ 07:44 PM
Buckeye Lures introduced a few new jigs at ICAST this week. The first was their new 2-Part Jig that features a football head that actually comes loose from the jig after a fish bites and you set the hook. Built on the same principal as line-thru lures like the old pro-trap Rat-L-Traps and swimbaits that use line through technology, these jigs seperate the heavy weight of a football head from the hook to reduce the fish's leverage to be able to throw the jig from its mouth.
The second jig was the Mini-Mop Jig. It's a smaller profile jig but still features the silicone and rubber combo skirts that made the original Mop Jig so effective. This will be a good offering for clearer water and places that have spotted bass and smallmouths.
The final jig offering from Buckey this year is the J-Will Flipping Jig that features a Trokar jig hook. The jig also features a narrow head for sliding in and out of heavy cover.
They didn't have retail pricing for the jigs at the time of the show but we'll let you know as soon as we find out.
