I've fished those jigs on e-bay as I bought some. If I remember right the guys name is Steve. The jigs work great. I have caught, rockfish, calicos, sandbass, yellowtail, albacore, Yellow Fin Tuna and dodos on them.
If you haven't fished them yet why not let the people who have actually tried them respond to the thread since we have first hand accounts and EXPERIENCE not just opinions on them.
Now back to the question. I would suggest those in the 150-300 gram range. The bigger ones are a little too big for what we get around here.
Purple mack works well, green mack worked great on Yellowtail. Smaller jigs for tuna bigger jigs for Yellowtail and dodos. |
Thanks for the info Marcus,
I picked up the tekota 500 and is getting ready to pull the trigger on the trevela MH 6'6. The jigs are the ones the seem to burn a hole in the wallet and I'm looking for less expensive knife/butterfly jigs other then the over priced shimano jigs.
Not sure if the shimano butterfly jigs are worth it but for the price, they sure seem to be overprice as far as I'm concern.
I'm looking every where and any where for butterfly alternatives. Knife jigging seem a lot safer then throwing an iron over my shoulder when other guys are doing the same.
I would like to try dropping iron instead of flinging iron.
on a side note, but it seems that shimano gears is a bit over priced but then they make it up by their customer service. In a sense you pay more for the plastic parts in shimano reel directly but you get a exceptional service in return because you paid for it indirectly when you paid for the reels.
ok, let the flame throwing if you guys like.
just wanted to share my .02
back to topic.
Any one know of anyone else selling butterfly jigs simular to shimano jigs?
