    why! well as i said i was tinkering, i made a simple drill jig, laid jig on it and drilled both sides to the same depth, i am going to use them when i feel a 1/4oz is a bit heavy, and also did the 1/8oz too, made a simple jig holder out of lexan to hold the jig to add layer or 2 or 40 lb braid for the plastic baits.

    up here where i fish in PA, i have yet to really know if the jig is going to make much difference, cause if i catch 4 or 5 that is a good day, rarely over 9 inches, but will keep trying, gonna head south after the holidays and see if we catch some good ones,
