 Mr. Clemons, We are loving the jigs! I am going to try and fish a tournament tomorrow evening on Neely Henry and try some of them out! On the pictures that I am attaching the first 4 pictures are from Lake Guntersville. All of the fish pictured were caught in the 7 to 9 foot depth range flipping the 1 and 1 1/4 oz. grass jigs. The key for us catching these fish were your unique rattles! We learned in practice that the other brands did not produce. We held the tight lines beside the booyah jigs we had and shook them. There was no comparison yours are twice as loud. This was the key in the thick grass. We were only casting about 10 feet and verticle jigging them. The noise seemed to draw the fish out! The large hooks were another key. During the tournament I only missed 1 fish and it was due to my drag being set too loose with the braided line.The last picture is from Logan Martin Calhoun County bass association club tournament last Saturday. We learned and had success swimming the big jig with a speed craw trailor on ledges in about 15-20' depth. We culled 7 or 8 limits of bass and won the tourny by almost 2 pounds! Thanks Tight Line, and I hope to be emailing again soon with another win!! God Bless,  ;void(0)) ;void(0))   When the water's cold, a trusty jig can do the job for largemouth bass looking for a meal. Alan Clemons whacked this nice bass on Feb. 10 while fishing in a private lake with his 12-year old daughter. Emily Ann took this great photo of the bass, which hit a 3/8 ounce TLJ Wood Thumper in black-blue Late winter is a great time for jigs and big bass getting ready to spawn. Alan opts for 17-pound Vicious fluorocarbon line and a slow, crawling retrieve around rocks or wood with the jig. Bites can be aggressive or, as with this fish, just a peck before you see the line moving through the water. That's when you set the hook hard and hold on. Look in our "Online Catalog" for Wood Thumper jigs, along with other TLJ products in a variety of sizes and colors.

Catch and Release (Notice the Tightline Jig on the rod)  Now you know why Jon and Gordon Hardin use so many Tightline Jigs.   Wobble Jigs Great for Redfish By Alan Clemons PORT MANSFIELD, Texas -- Redfish were pushing mullet in the shallow flats of the Lower Laguna Madre, working the grasslines and open, sandy holes in the shin-deep water. Standing in the morning sunlight, I watched more than one redfish tail ease above the water's surface before disappearing in a burst. Redfish have a slightly-downturned mouth, which helps them eat crabs and shrimp in the grass, but they possess a voracious appetite and the attitude of a heavyweight champ when hooked. After watching two or three more pushes, I cast a 1/2-ounce Tight Line Jigs "Wobble Jig" past the fish and began my retrieve. Grass and low water conspired to foul the action of the wobbling blade, which gives off flash and tremendous vibration. Working it just under the surface to make it "wake," I pulled it past the redfish still eyeballing the mullet. The Wobble Jig was outfitted with a silver Indiana blade and camo-colored skirt. Redfish aren't discrimating when it comes to food, but the do prefer crabs and mullet. I'd recommend the 1/2-ounce Wobble Jig for deeper water and the 3/8-ounce model for skinny-water wading. If you're in an area with grass, work it over the top and through any openings such as sand holes or along dropoffs. Gold spoons have long been a tacklebox staple, and a gold Indiana blade Wobble Jig with a Chartreuse White, Guntersville Special or Black Widow skirt should work well. Shaking the Wobble Jig and keeping a steady retrieve just under the surface, I hoped for the best. The redfish turned, ignoring the baitfish and coming from five feet away to slam the Wobble Jig. The fight was on! Battling on an All-Star rod, Pflueger reel and Cajun line, the redfish darted and fought hard. In shallow water where you're virtually sight-fishing for these babies, its hard to beat! He was released after a few photos. Other redfish couldn't resist the Wobble Jig either, making the morning one to remember. If you're interested in redfishing in the Lower Laguna Madre, contact Capt. Ray Rankin at www.lagunaoutdoors.com or Capt. Bruce Shuler at www.getawayadventureslodge.com  Ian Hogg caught a couple of 3 pounders, at Lake Eufala, on a Junebug color Tightline Jig!  Jim Hardy caught this nice bass, at Lake Jordan, on a Mardi Grass color Tightline Jig!  That is a good one Gene yelled as the Largemouth jumped and splashed around the Pro Craft boat. When he was getting it from the net for me he said"I beleve she will go 6" naw maybe 5. We had 2 in the live well in the first 10 minutes plus a 5 pounder not a bad way to start a tournament. We went on to catch our limit in about 30 minutes and then started culling . Gene was throwing a 3/8oz Tight Line Jig Flipping Jig Pumpkin Brown (#46) and I was throwing a Mean Green (#49) Tight Line Jig in a 1/4oz Wood Thumper and swimming it through the grass and around the bushes. This was a Sunday afternoon tournament for 5 hours. At the scales they were getting 9, 11,12.50 pounds until we walked up with the 18.36 to win with, Not a bad way to start off tournament time when your just fun fishing with a good bunch of friends. By the way the 150.00 we won was nice too. Big fish was my 5.25lb. Charles Clemons Tight Line Jigs  "I have been fishing jigs almost exclusively for 20 years. However, I have always had problems with my jigs keeping bass hooked. I saw Tight Line Jigs at Waterfront Tackle (Grocery) on Lake guntersville. These jigs looked good so i decided to give them a try.  Two hours later, I landed a 9.2 pound Largemouth along with several others on a Mean Green Craw Wood Thumper 1/2 oz. Tight Line Jig! I had on another Largemouth that I feel was bigger but it broke my line. Two days later, my girlfriend, Sherry and I won a local tournament (on Lake Guntersville) weighing in at 23.58 pounds! Four out of the Five Largemouth, including a 6.29-pounder (!), were caught on Tight Line Jigs, black and blue. Now I am hooking up better than ever as well as getting more bites!! Thank you "Mr. Tight Line Jig" for making quality jigs! Sincerely, Mike Mortensen  I was recently fishing in a private camp ground. Me and my dad were fishing from shore and he said he saw a huge fish getting ready to lay on the bed. He said it was problably around 8 or 9 pounds. I thought he was crazy until I saw her. I tossed in a 1/4oz. black and blue wood thumper jig and she couldn't resist. After a short battle the 7 pounder was in my hands.
