Hey guys I saw this video in my youtube feed and have been mesmerized ever sense! I really like the secondary stinger hook placement on the jig head! This looks like it could be a killer Ling and Hali jig for slow trolling but the only problem is these are from NORWAY!!! Any one have any idea where I can find these in the states?? Not to keen on paying a lot for international shipping  :o OR does any one know of another jig head company that makes a secondary eye for attachment of an under swim bait stinger like the slim jim here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Other than the trailing hook and paint job I don't think the action looks much different than a bullet head jig with with a big hammer or scampi tail.

That looks like a rock grabber to me.if you talk to a machine shop they could maybe mill one of the blank molds that Do-It Molds makes for custom jigs.just add a brass eye slot to a existing bullet mold they make.

Yeah Im not impressed with the swim body itself, I am more interested in the lead head. If I had the time and money I would try making a mold myself with that second bottom eye on the jig head. Pair that with a big hammer or scampi and you got your self a winner!

I also feel that it would be a rock grabber and may turn out to be an expensive venture. 
Lings are more of a head biter and stick to most swim baits anyways, without the need for the assist hook.

Siwash hooks might reduce snags

I feel like a jig head is more likely to get head shaken free than a spreader bar setup.

They are interesting, but not at $30 for a jig head and two bodies.

The only other two eyed jig heads I've seen are for steelhead jigs, and in only 1/4 and 1/8th oz, used for a dropper second jig.

I like the look of that bait, but wonder if it would be just as effective running a stinger off of the jig hook, and hooking the stinger into the bait on the same side as the hook.

Over the weekend, I got pissed for loosing a $15 anchor to the bottom.  I would flip out losing a $30 bait.  I might be forced to get the dive gear on and go find it.
