Starship Jig Explained
As you can see here, my infamous Starship Jig is nothing more than a disc of clear plastic with a small hole poked in it's center. This hole is then forced down over the eye of a common shad dart jig - 1/64th in this case. This makes the jig spiral and flutter as it falls through the water.

Thanks, everybody. This is not a new idea; this duplicate something I saw somewhere else. Google 'jig disc', or something like that and you'll see them.
Leo - videos aren't really my thing. And like I said, this isn't my invention... no taking credit for that.
LedHed - you can vary the size of the disc, certainly. I cut them out with home made punches. I have cast them, as well as fished them vertically. It works fine either way. My primary goal was to slow down their fall, which it does. The element of "flight" was a side benefit.

Intriguing. You got to document this with a video segment. This is a critical trademark that can land you the bucks.

Very interesting idea. Do you use different size discs? vertical fishing only?
