I like fishing "irons" when conditions permit and have caught some very nice fish with them. The link is an interesting article published on Bloody Decks.

I like ironworks too!

This is such a great article on the historical development of jigs.
I used to own a vivif in the sixties!
Caught Albies on them!

Thanks!
