Neverwinter Lures Wood Jig

NeverWinter Lures Jig   Description: NeverWinter Lures' Wood Jigs come in two sizes - 3/8 oz. and 1/2 oz, and a large range of skirt colors. The jigs come equipped with Mustad Ultra Point hooks and two steel ball rattles. The Wood Jig is designed with a wider head than usual, to prevent hangups.

   Review: Starting out with NeverWinter's jigs, it was decided to throw them in tournaments from the very beginning. The first attempt logged several keeper bass, good enough for sixth place in a difficult event on Lake Lewisville, Texas. Since that time, these jigs have not disappointed in production of fish or quality of build. We caught numbers of fish as well as decently-sized bass on these jigs during a testing period of several months.

   Swimming NeverWinter's jigs worked well, but they really shine in pitching/flipping applications and when fished slowly across the bottom. Surprisingly enough, we scored the most fish around docks and marinas with these lures. The amount of bass caught crawling these jigs around visible cover exceeded bass caught while pitching and flipping by a noticeable amount.

The best color: Black/blue/purple   We had a slight amount of paint chip off the head of these jigs after repeated use around rocks, but this is to be expected. The hooks are sturdy, and the construction is solid.

   A good thing about NeverWinter's jigs? One color in particular. Black/blue/purple outscored other colors by immense margins, and put themselves on top of the scoreboard. Black/chartreuse did well as did brown/orange.

 
Criteria Score
Bass caught 3.5
Innovation 3.5
Strength 4.0
Overall 3.6

   The Breakdown:

    Bass caught: Over one hundred bass over a testing period of several months. Largest bass was about 4.5 pounds, caught near a dock while crawling the lure.

   Innovation: Custom construction equals innovation, and we were very pleased with the color selection as well.

   Strength: Strong. They won't break. Enough said.

   Overall: This is a good jig to check out if you're looking for something new. NeverWinter has done a great job on their product.

   Where to purchase: NeverWinter Jigs are available on their website, http://www.neverwinterlures.com/.
