Mormyshka Jigs

[Heartland]

How many have utilized the Mormyshka Jigs, and if so do you find any advantages to using them?
I've seen them profiled at a couple of seminars over the years but never took the plunge and bought any.


I'm most interested in how the line is attached, which seems unconventional, but different is good right?

They are great because when you tie it on, the jig hangs in the position that the jig manufacturer wanted it to hang. So no having to change the angle of presentation. It goes back to the right position everytime without repositioning therefore more time spent with your line in water The trick is to match your jig with the right line. My buddy bought some (after I raved about them) but he was dissapointed because he couldn't get his thick diameter 6lb test line thru them, so he had to downsize. Now he likes but he was so used to yanking them in with heavy line. Had to modify his technique some.
