I did see them; started to reply earlier and well, life and all that...

Thanks for posting them. I am planning to tie a few leggy jigs. I did do well with the offset spinner in my favorite Piedmont flow except for one issue - they hit the spinner a lot. I lost a couple of blades late summer on my 2 best days (based on total number brought to hand). I mean just the blades. I would get a hard strike, no hook set and something felt funny the rest of the way in. The spinner blade was gone!

Am I reading too much into the photo or did you rig that weedless?

neat idea adding rubber legs to those beetle spins!

And they're easy to make too.
Some rubber legs and an embroidery needle are all that's needed.

They catch and abundance of fish here.....a redbreast favorite in the low country and piedmont......

The bass tore those to shreds last season!

Did you see these Andy?

Hey Optimistic Andy........try to find these when you go down South........this is a killer redbreast bait......I have a deep hole here that's full of them and they'll hit this bait before anything else in the box......In the early 80s we would catch 100 redbreasts a day on the Edisto River on this bait in and around drifts in that swift black water river......

We tip this pattern in the faster flowing rivers of the Carolinas for Redbreasts.......

Your testimomy is similar to mine Jeff....even the fire storm earlier this Summer with the Gronaw Grass Shrimp came with the jigs tipped.....caught very few on the jigs stand alone....I still like to try many different things hoping I might sneak up on a winning combination, but I fall back to the tipped baits more times than not......I catch many fish Spring and Fall on a drop shot rig.....

Yeah, we also tip our jigs/lures with bait.  In fact, once you get that "hit", and the fish have stolen your bait, they are not much interested in the jig WITHOUT bait on it.  That's pretty much why I just started fishing a small drop shot rig with a cricket, waxworm, or redworm.  Small crankbaits work fine without tipping, which would probably kill the action anyway.
