Vertical lures X - Jig question...?

[Fever]

Getting the Bass itch already... Sad. Wondering if anyone has heard of Vertical lures X-jigs? If so what do you think. I actually started using them last year mid summer and do like them. They are more weedless and with the trailer harness seem to be an all around better jig than I've ever used before. I just made a larger purchase and am really just trying to justify... I am curious though if any other bassers have been made aware of this product.

I have used them and they seem good. Haven't flip them enough to really know yet for sure. I will get back to you ones the water is soft.

Interesting indeed. Did anyone that used them notice any excessive wear on the line that passes through the jighead?

[HellaBass]

Ray, I did notice a bit of abrasion near the head of the jig after a full days outing of pitching around docks and into pockets of milfoil. If I'm not mistaken I was using 10lb fireline crystal while using these jigs. I think that that is a minor concern for the average guy but could be a big concern for a tournament guy. The difference in the amount of slime, gunk, and milfoil clumped on to the head of my jig was quite noticable though as the eye and knot were not exposed. I really liked the jig trailer harness though as it most likely aided in me not lossing or having to adjust my trailer. Give it a look see and post your opinion. I'd be real interested in what you more seasoned Bass guys come up with on this one. The idea seemed kinda neat to me but I've only been into my bass chasing for about three years and openly admit to still being a novice. Did the price seem reasonable? I thought they were a tad on the pricey side.

So all i have to say is the following:

Sounds like a pretty cool jig though

Ray and Everyone~

Here is some information for you about the jigs, They have a Teflon

insert in the tunnel through the head that will protect the line. A lot of

guys assume you never have to re tie the JigX the knot is 100% protected but

the line still gets wear and tear after some fishing. Does a Texas rig cause

damage to your line? Yes, the JigX protects the knot and is a lot less

likely to get hung up but you still have to re-tie to eliminate line wear. It think line wear has nothing to do with the lure it is the structure you are fishing that wears the line.

I've been using the Jig X for the past year and it's been a great jig for flipping milfoil. 1/2 and 3/4 oz. jigs usually do the trick. As far as the chunk sling that thing is a awesome little deal, prior to last year if I fished the jig all day I went through a bag of chunks. With the chunk sling I'll go through maybe three a day. Good thing about this sling is that it will work with other brand jigs as long as it has a double barb. They also have a football jig with the same through the jig line tie. If you like tubes then you have try the Tube X, it has a solid head and four big legs that move a lot water. They also have a creature bait that should be coming out soon, can't wait for that.
