NISID jigs?

[shawner]

     Anyone tried any of these offered on their site. The beetle chain jig caught my attention along with a few others. The beetle looks like a Hali alternative. Thoughts, comments, opinions or testimonials appreciated.

i picked up a bunch of their jigs. Caught a bunch of bluegills on this one jig and then the darn thing fell apart

They had a booth set up at the St Paul, MN ice fishing show, they had some jigs that def had a few guys scratching their heads- including the ones with chains on them. I personally didn't buy any.

You may just be surprised just how well those dropper chains work.  I've learned not to knock it till you try it.

Oh, dont get me wrong CC. I am sure they would catch fish. I do understand the concept. Its the same as when you use a flasher above your trolling spoon for Salmon. That big blade/weight above that tiny jig is the same concept. Its just as a jig maker myself, I think I could have designed that better. I use those snaps they use for my jigs and know how small they are, therefore, I can only imagine how small that chain is. I wouldent trust it.

When I want to get the fishes attn.....I use a bigger spoon/jig. once they come in, thats when color counts, than, jigging presentation and than lastly whats on the hook. You would be amazed on how big a spoon/jig a perch, bluegill will suck in.

Another thing I dont like is, I see SERIOUS line twist jigging them. They should put a swivel on top. So again, I understand the concept and yes, its not a bad idea, just bad design. IMHO

     Definately some different designs, I may have to try some to kill my curiosity. I wonderd about the quality, a dip in the pond would be the true test(with a jack on the hook of course)!
