The first jigs I ever used were fle-flys that I bought at the old Lake Worth barge in 1969, they cost a quarter a package of 4  . You can still find them at Olsen's (I believe), but cost $2 a package of 3.

Just talked to J.H. he said the 90 deg eye and angle make the jig run straighter & if tied above a slab line wont wrap around it, said he didn't figure it out the guys before him did. He sold it to someone in Amarillo

My uncle shoots docks with them. I don't see them working well while vertical jigging. They don't sit horizontally. I need to get some for sure.
