The TNT "WADDA" Jig

There is no perfect Jig. Hence my latest adventure and endeavor with Troyce Taylor. We've combined all the little details that I believe will draw an angler more strikes and put more fish in the boat when using a jig. Each jig is hand poured, tied and painted by Troyce to assure consistency.

The Skirt: This jig comes in two colors, brown or black. There will be slight variations that will have some blue, red and yellow strands mixed with the black, and some purple and orange mixed with the Browns. We're using Living Round rubber. On all these jigs, a red thread is used for strike appeal. 5 inches of rubber is used, leaving a layered affect with the longest strands extending 2.5 inches from the head. The longer strands give us a slightly smaller profile as the bait is falling and swimming, yet a very nice bulky profile as the bait rests on the bottom and the rubber expands outwards.

The Head: These are Arkie style flippen jig heads. The heads are coated with a non-cracking powder paint. We've mixed some tiny red, gold & green flakes with the paint. Also added are two red eyes, one on each side of the line tie. The flash from this prism appearing combination and two red eyes, will trigger additional strikes as well. A 1.5 inch fine fiber weed guard is affixed to the head. This allows for plenty of give and room for trimming, for those quick biting strikes that are often missed.

The Hook: Mustad Ultra Point hooks are being used with these jigs. These are super sharp and very strong hooks. They are the 60 degree, straight eye line tie jig hooks. We get a truer fall and straight hook set with this type line tie. Your line knot will always be aligned straight with the jig.

Availability: The "Wadda" is available at the Hook, Line and Sinker in Oakley, (925)625-2441 and custom orders are available directly from Trocye at (209)505-8504.
