    The Secret Kruger Flair Hair Jig

    Author: Brad Wiegmann

    Ron Kruger Flair Hair Jig  Photo by Ron KrugerI love to listen when anglers get together before going fishing. It’s often referred to as dock talk. Every angler anxiously wait their turn to tell stories of big bass they caught the day before or how the smallmouths were aggressively attacking their lure every cast. While some of these stories are true others are fabricated to enhance the size or number of bass caught. Some of the anglers standing around say nothing about what lure they are catching fish on or where. They really don’t care because it’s their secret lure that’s catching them. If their secret was to come out then everyone would be fishing with a Flair Hair Jig made by Ron Kruger.

    Break Away the Secret to Successful Buzzbait Fishing

    Author: Brad Wiegmann

    Don Minkler holding a bass caught on the E-Z Dip Lures Break Away BuzzbaitHow many times has this happened to you? You are on your local lake and the bass are slamming buzzbaits retrieved back bumping any piece of wood; however, you can’t get one hook-up. The bass are just flashing at your buzzbait like they are trying to kill it, but not eat it. It’s really frustrating and you only have so much patience before throwing your rod down on the deck of the boat and reaching for another rod with a different lure. You tried adding a trailer hook without any luck; you even tried a different buzzbait with an extended long wire arm shaft, but that isn’t even hooking them. There is no reason you cannot catch one except the blade of the buzzbait seems to be obstructing the bass from getting the hook in its mouth. Here’s a secret to catching more fish on buzzbaits when this happens, try using a Break Away Buzzbait by E-Z Dip Lures. The Break Away Buzzbait has a 360-degree collapsible buzzbait wire arm connected to the main wire frame that moves out of the way when a bass strikes.

    Bomber Saltwater Jig Head

    When it comes to fishing live bait or lures in saltwater, anglers can never have enough jig heads. No jig head will last long when the action heats up or bottom bouncing a reef; however anglers still require quality hooks that can stand up to monster saltwater fish.

These jig heads were designed for fishing with either live bait or lures for almost any saltwater species.
