My two are the Braid's and the crippled herring, when the fish are on sand eels the plain single hook diamond jigs really work good too.
Any other lesser known brands I should pick up?
Anyone use the Tady's?

Those braid are real sweet! I would also like to know what hooks every one is putting on those jigs? I have been using the gami open eyed siawash, but i have been opening them up on stripers and blues. I need a good hook for the tunas using 30-50# test.
hammered diamond jig...6-12oz.
The gami open eye siwash rust easy too. I remember seeing one open on you P21, but I've never had one open. I've had them rip apart a split ring without the eye opening.
When closing the eye I use a table vise, not a pair of pliers, and close the eye really good...
I love a jig that can cut the lawn like no other.
Try one of those real awesome Varivas bent points!![]()
try using those triple wrap rings that P21 and I got from stamina. I like them alot.Originally Posted by Lil' Tunny
I would also like to know a better hook. May just have to go with trebs for big tuna?
I don't think that treble hooks are the answer. the problem with using those triple rap split rings is they are so wide that they don't let a normal eyied hooks swing. We need to find a super strong single hook with a large eye thats nice and sharp too.
I have some big mustads that they worked for but I don't like the hook. Too soft and I have to sharpen them. I wonder if Owner makes something, but I haven't seen it yet.Originally Posted by Parker21
VMC makes a SS 3x strong siwash, probably alot more sticky than the mustads. I have a couple of the mustads laying around, don't like em.
