Default Leech Jigs

anyone know where i can get some leech jigs? they were around a couple years ago and i smashed the eyes with them (even on a slow day i doubled or tripled the other people in the boat, cant keep em off them) it looks like they got discontinued or the company got bought out and i cant find them anywhere!

Huh I spend alot of time in tackle shops and looking at tackle , never even heard of these . I like using my Jig heads that I make bucktails , they are Gamakatsu Harpoon hooks , by far the best hook around .

havent seen those on the pegs for awhile now

try a knuckle ball, NL short shank fireball or a Jims flasher head.

The KB with a Trigger x 5 inch leech has been a really good producer this year.

Hmmm Try Cabelas . Its hard to believe that they wont ship to Canada , Just tell them I guess our monopoly money is to good for them . Ive ordered from places that said they dont ship to Canada and If you phone them talk to them they will likely ship .

Haha if you look at the pic in the link you can barely make out the body. The hook looks just like a leech haha. I tip it with a minnow and it's golden for walleye.

Try WSS, used to get them there, haven't bought any lately so not sure of their stock.

Or try some sculPIn heads tied onto a jighook...

I remember trying them last yr, i didnt notice a huge difference in catch ratio, but do remember the bodies being real thin and ya you go through them pretty good. If i remember correctly i was putting a berkley leach on the head

Did you try just contacting the Manufacturer and asking which suppliers they ship these lures too? They may not sell to you direct but they are usually happy to tell you who their Canadian distributors are.
