Jughead Shakers

[plunk]

Jugheads work. Had a very memorable day off Tofino with them and a bunch of 25lb springs.

Were you using a hootchie or a herring?

I grabbed a whole whack of jugheads for $0.99 when Capital Iron was closing....I'd like to try using them a bit more.

i am hooked on jugs.
use em for tuners, hali troll and on the banks for salmon.
i still have a big bag of various sizes.

i never had any luck with them. i bet they would work well when the opals are spawning along the west coast beaches. low and slow

Same could be said for Tomic plugs or Superior spoons on the right day. Trust me I’ve seen it

My understanding was a guide out of Ucluelet by the name of A.J. who invented them years ago. Sorry, don't know his full name. He's a guide with Pacific Rim Charters.

AJ created and developed the Jughead, he later sold it to Lighthouse Lures and then GIBBS bought Lighthouse lures. They are not that unque only becuse there was another product made many, many years before AJ's Jughead that is almost identical. I have a photo of it from an old Ebay listing that I came across and it is also featured in one of my tackle collectors guides. None the less, they do work and they are meant to be trolled faster than most tackle. If you search SFBC archives there is lots of Jughead tips, tricks and how-to's from the early years of AJ's product development...or at least there was?

Please note, I am in no way saying anyone copied anyone, only that Jugheads work very well at higher speeds and worth having a few in the box.
