After selling out of the initial run of them, we have sizes - 3oz / 5oz / 6oz / 8oz / 10oz back in stock as of tonight.

These jigs are the result of some extensive testing not only here in Jersey, but all along the East Coast.

They are designed to take the place of mullet, baby bluefish ( snappers), bunker, peanut bunker and other bait fish with silver scales and that bright silver flash! The pictures do not represent the color well, as they will change color in different light conditions and under different water conditions. That has been the key we feel. They change just like a real live fish will change under certain conditions. These jigs take on a new color under certain UV conditions. ( Same thing as that old first light & last light being the best fishing times). As far as we know, OMT is the only jig maker that is offering this unique paint scheme. I have not seen it anywhere else, and I do alot of shopping when it comes to custom made tackle. ( it makes up more than half of my shop).

They also feature a unique finish that has also been tested and proven to work better than standard jigs. They are the result of 2 years of work, and some pretty convincing results.

Sure, many other colors catch fish, but we have worked on just the right combination with OMT to design these jigs. The color makes them a go to jig in Spring, Summer & Fall months.

Will have them up on the online shopping pages later tonight.

Check out the change in color below. The pics do them NO JUSTICE. The hair does not change. They are pics of 2 different hair combinations. The jig heads change.

Yes, they have the smaller hooks made for fluke & seabass. We can also throw the additional hook on them too. If your heading down, I need some more rigs so get in touch with me.

Jig bags are expected in about another week. I have your info for the 1st call when they get here,

Only black at the moment, blue will be here soon. After extensive testing and tracking the results, the black was doing better in NJ than the blue. The changing coloration creates a blueish tint anyway in water over 35' deep.

Hi Tom, do you still have the black in stock? I'll be down on the 4th and was going to swing by the shop and pick some on my way to the charter (fish Styx). Thanks.

Have some3oz,4oz, 5oz, 10oz, 12oz left. All out of the 6 & 8oz sizes for now. OMT is working on them. We are selling so many, its been a surprise to me as well. I have people buying them to try and coming back to buy by the dozens. I am not bitching by any means......

Used them yesterday and we had a slow morning with no drift, but the afternoon picked up and once we had to use 8ozs to hold, we started finding bigger fish.

After trying every color out there over the last few years, I have no doubt that the new color is right up there with my other favorite that I have talked about for the last 2 years on all of the boards, ORANGE! Took me a long time to try the orange color, but I can tell you it works very well. Been talking about it for a long time and now I see that other jig makers are finally realizing it and starting to offer them. My jig bags are now filled with these 2 colors. I like to use orange in dirty water and this new Silver Side color in cleaner water.

Here's one of the bigger fish that fell for an 8 ounce Silver Side yesterday.
