lhousesoccer Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 I live in the U.S. and can't get Badd Boyz jigs down here. I've seen them and read about them in many online fishing articles (and seen quite a few nice pics of fish with a Badd Boyz hanging out of their mouth). I want to pick some up, but can't find anywhere online that sells them. The company website Badd Boyz Jigs lists alot of stores in Ontario and Quebec, but doesn't offer any online purchasing. I also don't know how much these cost per jig, as prices aren't listed on their website either. E-mails to the company have gone unanswered, so I thought I would try here. I always like trying new baits, especially from small companies like this, and more importantly, I like having baits that no one else here has and the fish have never seen! Maybe it will be me an edge! Any suggestions are appreciated. By the way, what do most of you guys tip them with? Live bait or plastics?
Guest gbfisher Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Tip them with a small micro tube by biting off the head of it and threading onto the jig. I know JB's fishing Depot sells them. I know that ebay was seling Meegs as well. Try ebay. If not the 400 rip off store sell them and take off of them. good luck.
Evan Gallimore Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Give this guy a e-mail. He is the manufacturer, maybe he can help you out btw. i tip em with a 1.5 inch tube either chartuese on sand colour. [email protected] Evan
solopaddler Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Fishing World in Hamilton has tons (just picked up a bunch myself this morning ). http://fishingworld.ca/index.php?option=co...ge&Itemid=1 I'm sure if you gave them a call they'd ship some out to you. Also, check out the Blue Fox version they're pretty slick, readily available and cheaper.
OhioFisherman Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 LOL, and then there is this? http://www.bigbitebaits.com/badboy.htm

They don't have any baits listed on their website, so I couldn't check the prices. What did you pay for them there? Also, what is Blue Fox's version called. I checked out their website just now Blue Fox Lures and didn't see anything that looks like a Badd Boyz jig. They only have 2 types of jigs - Foxee Jig and Big Crappie Jig, neither of which really resembles the Badd Boyz. Thanks Edited January 10, 2009 by lhousesoccer
rhare Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Call Lou ( the guy who makes them) direct, 705-737-4819 is his shop #. explain to him that you are in the US and cant get them and he will ship you a bunch. You looking at around $6 depending on size. I'll mention to him tomorrow that you might call. They are awesome jigs Ryan

Here's what the Blue Fox lures look like. You can get them with dressed or undressed hooks. These ones are dressed: In comparison here's a few of the Bad Boyz. (Tip them with a micro tube):
Handlebarz Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 I picked up some of the Blue Fox ones to try this year for the eyes if we get good ice I will give it a try they were less then $4 each at Angling outfitter in Woodstock.
Cudz Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 I live in Barrie. I visit Lou's shop regularly. His jigs are good no doubt. You can also buy (which I have a few of) some cheeper Matzuo jigs. Not the exact same quality (paint chips off a bit)but they do work and they are like $6.99 for about 6.
hirk Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 $5.29 for Bad Boyz.Looks like Trout guy hooked you up anyway but if any of you guys need em let me know.
