Digging up an old threadI know but <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

The different makers also seem to suit different fishing styles. Mine is a high tempo active style so I want a darting jig. I have used Daiwa, Yamashita, Yo-zuri, Gan-craft, Fina, and a couple of bargin bin types. I think it comes down to personal preference. I have basicly settled on Daiwa and Yamashita, leaning towards Yamashita because they're cheaper. I like these 2 because the dart well and feel light in the water. Gan-Craft were expensive and Fina feel heavy and hard to dart. The cheapies just dont dart.
The idea of just dangling a jig off the pier just doesn't cut it over here. You have to cast out and make the jig live. Even if that means sitting it on the moment, it has to sit naturally.
