We all know that Phenix were probably some of the best..... The originals are absolutely garbage... does anyone know where you can buy a good vibrating jig? I am trying to gear up for spring and cant find any more Phenix's online.

That 8 pounder I posted yesterday was caught on an original. In my opinion those are te best there are! I've caught So many good fish on them an they never break or anything. I've caught at least 50 on the one I have tied on right now. I think they have the best action and couldn't be more pleased.

The originals are good until all you reel in is a blade after a fish pulled it apart!

This and a BOHONK...I got a couple of these from a guide buddy of mine on Fork and I like them better than the Phoenix blades...Great bait, good construction, big long heavy hook, good bait keeper...My only gripe is that you cant fish them as high in the water column as you can some of the others, they will run a little deeper on a standard retrieve...If you wanna fish it shallow go with a smaller size than other brands.

The original chatterbaits that were made by rad lures were the best. Since zman took them over its cheap china junk.

Santone got my PB.
Strong thump and runs everytime!
You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown
Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youre living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.
