    Resurrecting some old and odd jigs

    Working on a mold right now to resurrect some discontinued or hard to find jigheads. Have a Mann's stone jig in 3/8, Imakatsu Mogulla jig in 1/2oz, a SK structure jig (not sure of the weight it was given to me) and if I can find it again a Glamour shad jighead.

    What would everyone like to see brought back from the discontinued grave?

    I like to take baits apart to see how they are made and how to improve them. The Stone jig I am going to make out of nostalgia just because it is the jig I learned on. Others I am just using as reference to make my own baits.

    I have some old "Brawley Bass Bug " jigs / heads circa mid 70's . As far as I'm aware these were the first "Live Rubber " jigs on the market and they were very popular out west . Yes there are superior jig head designs out today after decades of refinement but it is nostalgia for me too as they were the first jigs I ever caught a bass on . The earliest models only came in two sizes 3/8's and 5/8 's oz. After analyzing this old "primitive" head design I discovered it had a rocking action characteristic when crawled across the bottom just like today's popular football head . Truth be told the football head design is just about as old as the Brawley head .

    I used to catch a lot of bass on the old strike king bootlegger. Seems like that head came through cover really well.

    I still Have about a dozen each of the 3/8oz. and 1/2oz and still use them. Great all around jig that works well in any cover especially grass. Skips good too.
