they're pretty cool and do work. You catch more gills due to the small hooks fitting inside the small mouths. I think they're over-rated and even the small ones are too heavy. Finicky fish feel the weight and will drop them. They're harder to use with ultralights and spring bobbers. With other jigs you can see the bobber start to lift but they are so heavy that doesn't happen until the fish really has a good hold of it and by then would usually drop the jig by feeling the weight. If you like being able to catch those pesky tiny fish that always take your bait, its good though. I'd rather fish an islander ANY day, and when that doesn't work switch to some other secret backups. They do work, but for 1/10th the price i can buy a more effective fish that will outfish them every day.... just my opinion though
