can anyone help me find the maker of this jig??

[fisherofmen]

I used to get these from a guy at the spring N.W. spostshow, he had a small booth and hand made these, I wish I would have bought a lot more the last time which was 4-5 yrs ago, that's how long since I've seen him there. I believe he was from the brooklyn park area and worked out of his home. any info would be great .these jigs are awesome and I want more.

thanks alot for any info

Northland Tackle makes a Fireball Jig that looks similar. There is also a Fireball Metallic series as well.

Looks like it may be one of Cap'n Redbeard's. He is either in Wisconsin or Illinois

Jr's was in that area for quite a while. He is still around but I think he moved.

It does look very similar to a fireball though.

yeah its just a fireball jib, great jig for eyes

That sure sounds like that was one that JRs would have made. Last time I was in his shop he was located on Hwy 169 just north of Fleet Farm on the right side but you needed to take side roads to get to the shop. I had them make up a 1000 of my favorite jig and they gave me a great discount by buying in bulk.

Very good people !

I have bought from them since they started there first shop in the Crystal shopping center.

jimalm, I am glad that you mentioned that. I remember going to that store in Crystal a long time ago and I never knew that was who ran it. I knew I had been to their store up in Brooklyn Park but could not remember for the life of me where that was at.

it's not a fireball for sure look at the pics it is FLAT.... and it is not jrs, been there many times, thanks though, anyone else???

[Lure Lightning]

Fireballs are "Ball" shaped hence the name, that jig is flat on the sides.

The "Dominator VMC Jigs" at Gander are very close to that. You may find that to be a good match. Great jigs, and the VMC hooks hold up very well...very sharp.

I'm pretty sure that is an Ivan's jig, but I don't think he's made them for years.

I love them, I did a bulk buy on them years ago and am almost out of them. I haven't found anything else that I like nearly as much. I usually go with Northland bulk Fireball jigs now .....

[matthothand]

I also love those exact jigs. I bought the whole display from the shop in Harris earlier this spring. I'll get the name next time I'm in. Perfect jigs for minnows in current.

bummmpppp

If you go to protacklesd, they make that jig. The only difference is it doesn't have the sparkle eye, but otherwise the same. I have been using them for years and they are great.

[MasterClear]

Walleye Rockers??

That looks like a "Better Bite" jig. They claimed these had paint that would not chip. They would often bring a hammer to the sport show and pound the jigs flat to show that the paint would not chip.

If this is a Better Bite jig, they are out of business.
