[surfrocket]

[ChrisL]

Great thread.  Thanks to those who took the time to share.  Very helpful for us new to the sport with our heads spilling.

At this point in the season I have lost close to 5o bucktails and it seems every free minute I have I am painting or tying them today I painted over a dozen

[Mr Limpett]

Outstanding thread. Bottom fishing guy's
are a brotherhood, no doubt. So many other
sites have fishermen holding their cards close to their vest. This is good to see.

We share We learn We catch We teach We try...
There are too many SOBs out there hurting us who are so mis informed it makes your head spin.
Good Luck out there.

I agree AJ, I have been on a lot of other boards and found this one to be the most open and honest.  It a tribute to all those that give their output freely and can take criticism openly.

Any question worth asking is worth an honest answer, especially with more and more youngsters signing up.  I feel it is my duty to give openly just as those that have taught me over the years. 

Happy Catching guys

Correction: The SOBs I was referring to was the mis informed people (Politicians) that set up these new regs.and limits that are hurting everybody in the SportFishing Arena.
They really do not have a clue and relied on BAD information and data and stats. they were false and inaccurate.

[bayonne]

it could be worse ny has a 20 1/2 size limmit if they did that in nj it would shut down the fluke fleet nobody would bother going on party boats

Great thread everyone. I'm really learning alot. Went to Wal-Mark today to pick up some tackle. Actually quite nice, fully stocked shelves, etc.

Anyway, I was there for the basic stuff and planned on heading to the local tackle store for the good stuff. Anyway, while I was there I ended up scoring some lures that I heard about form you guys.

I was looking for the AVA 047 Diamond Jigs and the others that were mentioned and couldnt find AVA anywhere. I bought 2 4 oz diamond jigs that were there made by Hurricane. Is this the same, junk, better? Is AVA a brand or a type. I'm clueless. As always, someone please help, haha.

[Pfishingruven]

It is the same, just made by the hurricane company!  As long as all the hardware looks solid, you should be fine!

 

[IrishAyes]

I seem to recall reading somewhere a while back that AVA was the original maker of the diamond jigs and now it is more of a generic name for them. Don't know that for a fact though.

[Pfishingruven]

That makes sense Capt Joe.  I can't find a website for the AVA Company?

 

[ped579]

Basically they are both the same except that the difference in the Diamond Jig and the AVA Jig is that the AVA's corners are softer and more round giving it a more fluttering action.  But the main difference is the true AVA has the addition of a swivel which gives it a much different action.

The Diamond Jig was the first to come along and then the AVA style followed.  And Joe I would have to say your right when today the two are names are interchangeable just like Xerox when it comes to copiers.  The different manufactures may have different specs and altered amenities but they are still copiers, whereas both the Diamond and the AVA are both Jigs

Good information that I didn't know!

Thanks Paul.
