So JAWJACKER.. Thinking about buying one are they worth the buy? Let's hear it gents.

CavScout · « **Reply #1 on:** Nov 23, 2015, 11:44 PM »

Don't buy one.....

...better make it two. I know that $40 is alot to swing on something new amd unproven...at least it was for me. But after buying one, a second one was added a week later and now I don't go on the ice without them. I have used them to deadly effect on trout and perch. And i see no reason why they wouldn't work on crappies, gills and walleyes either.

If you are looking for a rod slammer/tipup/etc.
JawJacker is a great way to go.
I personally have 3 or 4 maybe 5, now, lol. They are scattered all over my fishing supplies.
They are great rod setting tipups.

Did some research on these,looks to me if you know how to bend a piece of wire,you can make your own very cheap,
the plus side of this is the fight of the fish on a rod and reel compared to hand lining
I,myself would much rather fight a fish on a rod and reel,
I am definatly adding these to my arsenal,

u-tub has some great video on a few home made hook setting rigs,For about 1/3 the cost of the others. I too have a few jawjackers that work very well

Purchased 2 last year and loved them. Highly recommend them.

Bought 2 of them & used them last year--they work great! $40 is a bit steep, but they are very well made & should last a long time--I may get a couple more--

Worth every penny I've got three and don't leave with out em. Easy to transport with the rest of your gear and they are built pretty solid as far as plastic goes.

dstaples002 · « **Reply #9 on:** Dec 02, 2015, 11:14 AM »

Love em. Well worth the money

Can't say on the JJ's as I have only used Automatic Fisherman units, but I have questioned the longevity of the JJ units with the abuse and conditions we face in the winter time (being fully frozen in the ice, etc.). Auto's are bulletproof, rock-solid units that perform without flaw and can take any abuse thrown at them. Plus the rods/reels they come with are top notch.

I love my jawjacker! Yes they're a little steep in price, but I have had nothing but success with mine.

I Bought 8 Jaw Jackers last year and I love them . You can use them for any type of fishing, whether its pike or perch. They are super sensitive and i even got a smelt on one..no lie

I do have two pieces of advice for you. Buy some good hole covers , because you will need them on the cold days. Also do not use the monifilment loop that comes in the package , i made my own version of this and it works awesome. I found that Ht makes a perfect rod for these jaw jackers and its the blue big eye rods . The big guide eyes on the rod will prevent freeze up on the guides. i will try and find a link to show you all.

Good Luck

where can I get them locally?

dstaples002 · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 06, 2015, 10:00 AM »

I may be wrong but when I bought mine, I looked all over and could not find anything locally and ended up going to Bass Pro in Utica about an hour away. Maybe Fish307 sells them in stock. If not you will have to order it. Most places are still doing free shipping too.

Loso015 · « **Reply #15 on:** Dec 06, 2015, 10:31 AM »

Bass pro in utica has the automatic fisherman not the jaw jacker.

Adkrs · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 06, 2015, 10:59 AM »

Might pick one of these up your try out. Everybody seems to love them

trundog · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 08, 2015, 01:27 PM »

I was looking into the jawjacker last year and one of the reviews or articles I read said that the jacker was ripping through the mouth of crappies even on the lighter setting. I don't have first hand experience, but it is something worth considering.

run320083 · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 10, 2015, 09:26 AM »

i caught quite a few crappie using the jaw jacker last year. Just need to make sure you are using light of enough rod and don't have the drag turned way up.

FISHN NIK · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 10, 2015, 05:29 PM »

A good JJ should have adjustable hooksets on their cable for types of fish targeted and depth of water,and they do.

Nowhere that I could find. I ended up ordering from their website and paying over $12 shipping.

I bet they'd sell a WHOLE BUNCH MORE of their product if it was distributed better (but then again, I don't know jack about business...).

Tight lines,

Hardwaternubie53 · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 28, 2015, 11:38 PM »

Hey!
There was a thread about this product a short while back. However, it did not address this question...
How is it for pike? Just thinking over everything I've been told about pike, how they sometimes grab a bait, swim with it, then stop, turn it and swallow it, won't the Jaw Jacker just rip the bait out of the pike's mouth before he has a hook in his mouth? Maybe best to have multiple hooks or Quick Strike Rig in the bait, so where ever he bites, the Jaw Jacker hooks him?
Those of you who use Jaw Jackers, what's your advice?
Thanks so much!
HWN

Hardwaternubie53 · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 28, 2015, 11:48 PM »

FISH307 has them now. Saw them there yesterday! Only has three or four on the shelf.

CavScout · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 29, 2015, 12:41 AM »

When I set my JJs for pike I use at min. a double treble quick strike rig. If im using a 6in sucket or bigger chunk of cut bait then I bump it up to three. Always rig it so the bait hangs horizontal in the water. Always figured the more hooks the better since they dont have a chance to run and reposition the bait. I have only used them with dead bait since that is all that is legal up in the mountains here in Colorado. My hook up percentage is about the same as it is on a traditional tip up using them this way.

Walked into Bass Pro in Auburn on Dec 22, the rack with JawJackers which I had been eyeing for several weeks were marked down from $39.99 to $16.88. Couldn't believe it, bought 6. Then they still had about ten left.

trundog · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 29, 2015, 05:45 PM »

Wow, that is a great price...I thought I did OK getting them thru cabelas at $29 and free shipping, now I feel like I got ripped off...as usual

Loso015 · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 30, 2015, 07:10 AM »

I can't answer the question because im still waiting for ice to experiment with my first pair of jj's!

bushyjr · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 30, 2015, 08:32 PM »

I currently use automatic fisherman i switched up last year from jj. The autos will out live the jj imo. The jj i had worked but after use could see where the blue plastic was starting to turn white so not long and the jj would have broke. The autos rods are great love the reels especially how easy the crank handle folds very smooth. I know richie's bait n tackle in Chaumont has auto bases for sale and have seen them at bass pro

trapper2000 · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 31, 2015, 06:48 AM »
