I have stenosis in those "L"s. Pretty severe they say. I believe em. Sure hurts like hell. They're talking doing a procedure where a spacer is inserted between the discs, minimally invasive and supposed to be the latest and greatest. Anybody know about this? Hey I'm 72 and other than the back I'm fairly healthy. My ma is gonna be 99 this coming December and still kicking hard. And I take after her. So if I've got another 30 or so years left in me, I sure don't want to spend them with an aching back. Of course that's prolly better than the alternative. Have to think about that.

Had my neurosurgeon tell and show me about the disc. Didn’t convince me to do it. Maybe when I get to a point I cant maneuver around but not yet.

I bought some stand-up jigs at Cabela's years ago and I think they still have some for sale, I'm not sure though. I'll check it out!

Yep, 4 or 5 different companies make them.

They are pretty easy to find, I have several types. I like the ones I make, because they sit better on the bottom, sink at a slower rate and flutter on the way down. The lead ones stand up, but they drop like a rock.

i'M with Flyguy: I believe I've see jigs like or similiar to what was shown. I would not spend a lot of money on trying to patent them. You might have a patent attorney research whether you are violating someone else's patent.

My father in law, Ike Walker, was a partner in Bomber Bait Co. said there were no new ideas in lures, just copies of earlier versions, modifications, alterations and such. That dosen't mean you cannot manufacture and produce a lure that is a slightly changed version. If you are serious about mass production, check it out.

I paid a patent attorney $2000 to search patents that were like the piece of equipment I made for my work in the garage door business that was not available out there. He said that there were a few devices patented similar to mine for other purposes and if I wanted to spend another $ 6000 pursuing a patent and probably not getting it he would not recommend it. LW.

Good Morning Mr. Jfbanzai,
I've seen them before on a YouTube video, magictail tog Jigs. We watched a video on fishing
from the shore. I think it's great that you can make them, that was made very well.

I'm not really interested in a patent and I'm not sure mass production would even be feasible, I just like making and using them. I have actually seen a couple of my ideas, in fishing and other areas, in stores after coming up with them. I was going to patent a toy that I made for my son when he was a baby, but got the run around from toy companies. I still haven't seen a toy like it in stores and my son, and everyone that saw it, loved it. Oh well.

I love the concept of a lighter weight to allow the jig to fall at a slower rate. I fell for the lead versions in the past and they do sink like rocks. I believe the eye is turned 90*, though. I have a bag full somewhere and will send a pic if I can find them. I just don’t fish places with gravel bottoms at which they would work perfectly. I will pull them out when I fish Green Bay for smallies and walleyes.

If they are not already being sold.

I agree. Maybe you could make some good money on a patent.

Buy Z-man lures ( soft plastic ElaZtech) they stand up on the shroomz jigheads great!!!!

Like the flutter idea. Have you tank tested some? Does that big worm actually stand up? What about the swim bait?
