Low light bass jigs.

Some experimenting. Let me know what your opinions are please.  Powder coat with glitter. I am liking the black/red. Although it looks orange in the pics.

Looks good but since you asked for opinions I'll give you mine. I'm not crazy about those thin wire hooks when bass fishing. Most places I'm fishing bucks for bass require me to put the brakes on as needed. Those thin gamakatsu hooks will straighten out like a paper clip with a 20+lb bass. For open beach or boat i guess you could let the drag do its job and play the fish better. My favorite jig for bass fishing in rough country is an andrus jetty caster. Lots of hair and strong hooks

Thanks for the reply and advise but these are Mustard BLN hooks. Plenty strong. They will break way before they straighten out.

Nice work.

They are Mustad hooks, I use them a lot.  Use the mustard for the hot dogs.  TT^

I agree. I use the Mustad hook and like it better than the thin wire Gammi.Has a slightly longer and thicker slice in the hook too.Just bought five dozen and had them made with the Mustads.
Other guys swear by the Gammi hook on these BTs.
Beautiful job Mako, real fish catches.Keep em coming.
