About Us
Jigs for soft plastics and bait
All of our products were created from experience and need. We have been fishing since early childhood , and paying attention to detail. From farm ponds and rivers to the inshore/nearshore to the stream, we create unique jigs and rigs (and show techniques) that get bites.
Sharing the Knowledge
It's not just about the jigs and tackle, It's about giving anyone the ability to catch the larger (wiser) fish, and be able to catch numbers of good fish also. We want to share our knowledge, thru the vehicle of video(s), about how to make this tackle work best. For example, the Barefoot Jumpin' Jig fishes any soft plastic under a poping cork far superior to any other jig head because it keeps the (soft plastics) horizontal and Jumping from side to side with it's built-in action...
UNLIKE ANY OTHER JIG HEAD!!!

Who We Are
We truly love to fish the offshore waters for bottom fish and pelagics, but like to catch fish wherever we're at. This is the reason we've created freshwater Circle Hook Chin Weights that are "good on the fish, and good on the fisherman". Since we are releasing (bass), and most freshwater fish, we created circle hook Chin Weights that safely and securely hook fish for a healthy release

Shown snelled ...
See the video for rigging suggetions, including how to make the Chin Weight "snag resistant"
Shown snelled, but sold (NOT SNELLED)
The Barefoot Jumpin' Jig
This is the ONLY jig on the market that makes your soft palstics move! When we say "move", we really mean JUMP! The reason for this is the flared head and the perfectly balanced position it sits in the water. For example, the jig with your choice of soft plastics will sit horizontal down deep or under a poping cork and "jump" when twitched with the rod tip
See video to see this amazing action
Proof's in the puddin'
Just one example of how the J Hook Chin Weight swims a ballyhoo, and how effective the stinger is...Here is a beautiful wahoo that was fooled on a naked ballyhoo and florocarbon

Drum, snook, stripers and grouper in saltwater...
Bass, catfish and stripers in freshwater have custom made jaw bones for the Circle Hook Chin Weight
These Jigs can easily be made "snag resistant" and are the EXTREMELY effective when used under a "sliding cork" ...See the video
The Barefoot Jumpin' Jig
In addition to trout, drum and flounder... snook and tarpon are the perfect quary for the soft plactic shrimp and minnow immitations on the Jumpin' Jig...Not to mention smallmouth bass like this giant shown in the photo
....See vieo
Squid Decoy Jigs... 12 and 8 oz.
The 8 oz.(top) and the 12 oz. (bottom) Squid Decoy Jigs are made to fish the bottom while drifting or anchored. The (heavy duty) 10/0 circle hooks are good to go for anything that may bite, from large grouper and AJ's offshore to halibut and giant stripers in the race ... come one, come all !!!
Can be modified with J Hooks also
Crab Decoy Jigs...4 oz.
Even though these jigs are not (currently) legal for offshore bottom fishing along the east coast and gulf coast, many anglers are ordering these to fish for striped bass, nearshore drum, snook, grouper and west coast bottom fish.
Testimonial
"Nothing ever caught the gags any better for me....PERIOD"
John "Barry" Bobbitt
Squid Decoy Jig
The Squid Decoy Jig looks like a squid that has caught a minnow or another squid (your bait) and eating it.
It's the weight and the bait, all in one, and a "decoy" of what is really happening.
Tim Barefoot with a nice gag
Back in the day.....when it was legal to use J hooks, NOTHING outfished the Crab Decoy Jig for gags.
Like this 35 lb. gag in 72 ft. of water off Wrightsville Beach, NC
...See vieo
WORLD RECORD SCAMP !!!
The new (All Tackle) World Record Scamp caught by Theodore (Teddy) Wingfiield on the 12 oz. Squid Decoy Jig...Nuff said !!!
Teddy was fishing with Capt. Daniel Brisson on the charter boat Sunrise II out of Morehead City, NC on June 02, 2016 32 lb. 0 oz.
From striped bass in the rips of New England to deep water scamps, EVERYTHING eats a squid holding onto a live or frozen bait down deep!
Not just another pretty bait...
NOTHING swims a ballyhoo better than a Chin Weight
A perfect swimming bait gets the bite!
This 76lb. wahoo ate a naked hoo and the stinger hook made this photo possible
...See video
Big scamps love a Decoy Jig/bait combo drifing barely overhead in the deeper water
This one came out of 225 ft. with a frozen cigar minnow on a 12 oz. Squid Decoy.
Getting it done!
There's only so much time in any offshore fishing day... don't go half cocked, fish the best for real results. BIG scamps didn't get big by being idiots... This one bit a Decoy Jig/live bait combo
BANG!!!
This one is like hundreds of other nice ones... Back before the circle hook law, the Crab Decoy Jig made it happen !
Proven Effectiveness
We've been doing the research for you for the last decade. No more "testing" required...
The results are in, and the Decoy Jig has a proven track record
Completely Fooled
The larger ( older/wiser ) fish are fooled by the "cleaner" tackle and bait presentation with the Decoy Jig. Younger (less experienced) fish will bite most baits, but the big boys are picky... The Decoy Jig puts 'em in the box.
