Location: Lake "y" cause lake"x" got over fished | They just look like Hell hounds with a single blade attached to the rear of the bait. I'm sure they will be good baits for those that like to jig for skis.

Location: Madtown, WI | The back is actually hand cut and the blade is on a "pivot wire". Kinda interesting. I suspect they'll be making a topwater bait out of it soon  Here is a link to the newsletter:Link |

The hard body should help with hookups. No reason to hate just cause you like the Bondy, they both can be good baits. |

I have to wonder with it being half the weight of a Bondy if it will thus drop much slower? One advantage of a jig is how quickly you can get down to fish, and keep it down.
It's an interesting twist to say the least on a hellhound though. Props to Sennet for even thinking of doing what he did. I am interested in seeing the results from the bait. |

| jlong - 7/11/2013 8:14 AM Its a sinking Rip-n-Glide Clever. LOL, The R-n-G lives! They should leave the nose line tie on. I like the way they used a pivot pin and slot to keep the blade close to the body.
Everybody has versions of vertical jigging lures in the works; so many baits can be converted to this.

| Here is an idea
Why not take the hell hound every one has, remove the belly hook and ring it to the standard tie point and tie your line to the belly hook hanger. (the bait will be hung upside down, fish dont care) Add bell sinkers on split rings to either the nose or tail to get the balnce and sink rate for your situtation?
It might cost $1 for the sinkers if you already dont have them. it would only take a minute to change over. |

Location: Detroit River | Being a HUGE FAN of the Bondy Bait it will take a lot for me to make the switch to a new jigging lure. When I first read the title about a Hell Hound jigging bait it peaked my interest but after watching the video of the lure I'm not to impressed. I don't much care for the vertical nose dive. If the price is good I'll pick one up to give it a try. |

It is good to avoid choices and versatility, one deminsional keeps it simple |

Using a jig to catch any species of fish is my favorite style of fishing no matter the species. Jigs in general have caught more fish than any other lure type out there. In fast current I have yet to use another lure that puts more fish in the boat than a Bondy. RO tubes have put some nice ones in the boat for me in the river & they get their use as well. The other musky jigging baits out there don't do well in the faster current (deep water) of the Detroit River or St. Clair River. |

Location: Kansas City BBQ Capitol of the world | It's a jig.
I bought a large Dog bone from Petsmart and cut it and drilled it out. Added some weight and a Black and Gold skirt to it for some "flash" and it worked just like any other jig.
Jigging is not my thing and I am still getting into it but I bet you could take my Bone-de-Bait (and I named it with no disrespect) and catch a fish with it. It's the technique of jigging for Muskies that was innovated by Jon that was presented to me, not the jig. The jigs always been there. Just not in the Muskie world until now.
You can do the same thing with a heavy bucktail or dawg. This Hellhound, it goes up, it goes down. Like I said, it's just a jig.

| The reason Bondy Bait is so productive for us fishing heavy current is the weight of 7oz. It's gets down in the heaviest current on the St Clair River/Detroit River and all the channels we fish. I'm sure the jigging hellhound will be a great productive bait. A regular hellhound is one of my all time most productive baits out there on the market. My only concern is the weight of this new jig and it getting caught up in heavy current an dragging out pulling away from you and boat. It's always good to try new things. |
