Found these knife jigs in my dads box.
Dors.anyone know if they were bought by the size possible used a few decades ago or if they are home made?
Would they still work compared to the newer slim amd long jigs that are out now

They are irons were popular back in the day for jigging kingfish in NSW, I used them at Montague island and were popular in the rip... many years ago.
He who has the most fishing rods WINS !

Ahhh. The good old days. A few slugs in there and some old jigs/irons. Worked well for years untill the Japanese started making knife jigs to catch fishermen. :water:

They have caught fish before and will still catch fish now. Most of them will be the fast jig type. More action = more fish. I used to put a little occy skirt on the treble hook. :thumbsup:smile0784 wrote:Do you think they still work dowm here.or best.for souvenir cupboard?hornet wrote:They are irons were popular back in the day for jigging kingfish in NSW, I used them at Montague island and were popular in the rip... many years ago.
