I still have some, used them last a couple of years ago at the Eagle Mountain "Casino" slip. For a couple of weeks there, I was catching the slabs with two 1/64 Fle-Flys in tandem. Seemed to work better than anything else I had. I tried it because I saw a guy doing really well at La Mancha with tiny Fle-Flys.

what are they? where do you get them? I talked to an older gentleman at waco one day, he said that was all he used, but wouldn't tell me where he got them from.

Back in the day...when I was just starting jig fishing, these were the premium jigs. I would nearly cry whenever I lost one. I don't think they make them anymore, maybe RonH will find out.
They are a jig with the hook eye coming out of a oblong, kind of flat head at about a 45 degree angle instead of 90 degree. They were really good jigs.

They were different, with the odd shaped head and hookeye angle, but I think they didn't have a thing on JigUms.

I have never tried Jigum Jigs, I have used the LFT baby shads and Gibson Tackle Jigs, I have also tried some Deer Hair ones that work pretty good.

Lakeside village marina on lake whitney has some. I do not know if they send out mail order but you could call them. They also make hand tied jigs there and they are great! I saw some last weekend at Lake Lewisville fishing barge. I went to bass pro tonight and bought stuff to make my own. You could do this and save some money. It is actually kind of fun.
