I like these jigs because when using a bigger bait like Creek chubs or suckers they work the best. I have some that I have used for a few years just touch up the hook.

Super glow and some have rattles

Where you get those so cheap?

I got them off Ebay I still paid 30 cents a piece for them but they are worth it because they don't make them anymore which is a shame

What exactly is a "fleet" farm? Is it like a MASH unit?

In case some of these jig painting fools don't have what you are looking for check out Larson's Quality Jigs. I know he ships out large quantities and have some really good paint combos. His glow packages are impressive as well.

Just recently watched an Al Lindner jigging video and he said to use flat bottomed jigs so the jig stands up when you are bouncing it on the bottom as it will increase the number of strikes and good hooks you get. I just grabbed few bags of jigs off the racks when I stocked up and all I saw were round ones. I didn't look very close so don't know if there were flat bottomed ones there too but what do you think of Lindners statement?

Ponyroper could you post the article so we can read it, till I can see exactly type of jigs he is using for the type of fishing he is using it for, It would be hard to give a honest opinion.

It was a video on the Pursuit channel on satellite. I think I still have it recorded. I'll watch it again to see what the jig looked like. The video was on walleye fishing and he said there were only 3 lures you need to have and they would cover all your situations. I'll have review the video again for those details and get back to you.

It's definitely a method a lot of guys swear by. Lindy slick jigs do the same thing and so do these:

Those look like the only thing they would catch are dinkey fish

Erie jig

these are stand up jigs. I havent tried them yet.

I've tried these jigs before and where I fish in the Sheyenne, those type of stand up jigs, One: get hung up in the rocks more than round due to their pointed shape wedging FIRMLY into every crevice they come across. Two: get tipped over by the current unless you are reeling in directly upstream so don't function right anyway and Three: they pick up debris like crazy as they act like a plow bottom, farm the bottom, and pick up everything. In a lake with sand or hard bottom and no current, I'm sure they work just fine or when vertical jigging in a river while slipping the current, but for casting from shore they are NOT the cat's meow. If a guy wants to use a stand up jig, the best "Stand up" type jig I've used for river fishing is the football jig. It "rolls" over rocks and wood a lot better, doesn't tip as bad in current (they kind of just twist to face up-current), and functions much like the ball jig as the head is smooth so doesn't pick up garbage as bad. However, the standard ball jig is still the best for the kind of fishing I do IMO, so I stick with simple, inexpensive, and easy.

Well, that borders on blasphemy, the kind that gets one burned at the stake or concludes with one's head upon a pike at the edge of town.
