TubeDude,
Since I haven't told you lately, you are the man! Growing up in Conn. we used Marabous all the time for big Stripers and Bluefish. Only we called them body wrap buck tail jigs. After I moved to Pa. in 81, I still had all that east coast salt in me. I took my knowledge of jig fishing with me and caught the best Lake Erie run Steelhead on Black jigs tipped with Maggots. I have an arsenal of jigs in my tackle ball, not as many as you judging by that wharehouse you call a room. I've used them to catch everything from Bluegill to Tuna. Sometime I too get caught up in technology, and forget where I come from. Then I remember, if it worked for my Grandfather 60 years ago, there was a reason. Thanks for the reminder, I will have to tie up a few this weekend.
