Nature Boys jigs … anyone fishing these jigs

[LR Houdini]

I’m always looking for an edge (secret weapon), but I see they aren’t cheap $ !
Which one are you using ? Which weights and color preference?
The “ Wiggle Rider “ … what weight and color has been working if the are @ 300 feet ?
Of coarse it depends on current and the depth … I’m just fishing for information.
What-how are you rigging these flat falls … looking for ideas …
I see they are cut from sheet steel…metal … I wouldn’t think they won’t fall as fast as lead jigs.
But they may offer more of a flutter effect …
I see they offer several other types … like … Swim Ryder … Deep Bobber … etc.
I’m open for suggestions…

Bingo! But the jig makers don’t want you spreading the truth!

I've got a few of then. Wiggle Rider KP 265g and 300g and Deep Bobber 460g are killer for deeper BFT.

Anything different about how you rig them … hooks ?

 

[Mr. DRE]

Heavy mono leader crimped to figure 8 solid ring up top. On the larger ring of the figure 8 I'll add a #10 Owner Ultra split ring. On the split ring I add the jig and with a trap hook set up consisting of a Owner Monster Assist hook and a ringed Owner Super Mutu 8/0 or 9/0. On the larger jigs at the bottom I'll I add a Number 9 Owner Ultra split ring and either a Super Mutu 9/0 ringed/swiveled hook or a treble hook. The benefit of this set up is I can prep leaders ahead of time in various line ratings and just add the appropriate jig as needed for conditions.

As to whether or not they work better or not I don't know. My last four BFT trip results:
1. Last trip last year on the R85 fished BFT for one night at the bank before weather picked up. Of the 17 BFT caught 7 were on the NB jigs.
2. 1st 2 1/2 trip this year boat had limits of BFT I had 7 on NB jigs.
3. 2nd trip this year on the Legend only 1 BFT caught on the boat and I got it on NB jig.
4. Last week on TG, 9 BFT caught, 2 on sinker rig and 2 on NB jigs.

I told Methuselah you were smarter than you looked !
Yeah … it sounds like you make your own luck …
Just like me … yeah … one 2 1/2 day trip this year the three of us put 36
of the 96 … on another trip three of us put 12 of the 18 caught …
And so on … if they won’t eat a jig… I drop shot a sinker down …
Conk them on the head and snag them …
You do what you have to do !
The last trip I couldn’t go, but my two friends put 6 of the 28 BFT caught at two of the bigger 150++’s … one friend was using a Wiggle Ridder
You got me thinking … I’m going to look thru my old Super Mutu hooks I used to fish Long Range Yellowfin with… good idea !
Thanks for the info …

Go talk to the jer dog for the win.

Go talk to the jer dog for the win.

I called him … he had no information on the Nature Boy jigs.
He’s into pouring 16 oz lead sinker with the 316 SS wire thru the center.
Thanks for the suggestion anyway …
