Tom, I can see them working very well. I’ve found schools of shad in TN that filled my downscan and sonar, couldn’t buy a fish in those conditions. Move out of the middle to the edge and a few feet away and it was game on. Predators always look for an easy meal away from the crowd. I’ve never found them like that here, must be the difference in temps. Those ties that Len posted would have kept me in smallmouth for a good while, very nice work. Details can be the difference between good fish and no fish, and those jigs are heavy with details.
