misfish Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) You know the banana shaped jig. For some reason I can find their new style,but it,s not what I want. I cant even find it on thier site. It,s like 2 inches long and banana shaped. If anyone knows where to buy or of a mold out there,I would be thankful. B. Edited January 18, 2012 by Misfish
Roy Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Have you looked at luremaking.com catalogue online? They have quite a few styles.
GBW Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Is it a jig or a spoon? Brian calls it a SPIG
GBW Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 post a pic B with someing there for a ref. like a coin.
Nipfisher Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Is it the rocker minnow? They stopped making them about 3 years ago. I bought out the last 10 or so from Zellers here in North Bay.

Tom McCutcheon Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 I have some of those which I bought from Dennis at Bass Haven on Mitchells Bay a few years ago. My understanding was that he made them himself. I know he is still in business, but I am not sure if he still makes the Jig A Whopper. Good Luck
kickingfrog Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 This is what came to mind when I read JIGAWOPPER: The white one is a knock-off. The other three are genuine and no, you may not have them. They haven't been made for about ten years.

I have another blue one that is still in the package. I hae one of the bent ones too. I thought it was a crippled herring?

O.K. the rocker minnows I have are bent slightly but I didn't think that much. I'll have to check the "bent" one I have. I don't think it says jig-a-wopper on it.
pike slayer Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 YA I HAVE THE SAME ONES AS KICKINGFROG
mike rousseau Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 Ya 5.99 a peice. NOT I had a guy years ago make them for me and I painted them myself. Those are popular here... I'll check the local shop... I'm 99% sure they have them Might be knock offs... Not sure...but they are banana jigs just like in your picture... With a single through hook.. I think they will ship em too Any specific colors your looking for?

misfish Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Posted January 19, 2012 Thanks Guys. Ron thats nice of ya,seems I found a guy that knows a guy that has them. Oh and Rob,may your spud bar go down a hole.
Ice Fishing Ham Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 I was also looking for Jig-A-Woppers but have had no luck. The kind I'm looking for are in the photo below.

The other three are genuine and no, you may not have them. They haven't been made for about ten years. Awesome spoon Rob, it's my favourite jigging spoon hands down. I still have a handful left, all well used. I was also looking for Jig-A-Woppers but have had no luck. The kind I'm looking for are in the photo below. That would be the Hawger spoon I believe. I have a bunch and still use them regularly and they catch fish too. Sorry I think you'll be fortunate to find a source for these spoons. Brian those banana shaped jigs are pretty common. I actually think I do have some made by jig a whopper and some other brands as well. Exactly what sizes do you want? I never use these anymore, whatever I've got you can have.
misfish Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Posted January 19, 2012 Exactly what sizes do you want? I never use these anymore, whatever I've got you can have. Thanks Mike Roughly about an inch and a half. Hands down,they are my favorite ice jig for walleye. Was going through the online cataloge and found a mold,but it dosent say what size they are,just the weight. Going to give them a call later today.
richyb Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 I was also looking for Jig-A-Woppers but have had no luck. The kind I'm looking for are in the photo below. I have been looking for this spoon also. Tromblys has them in perch size but I want one in trout / whitie size. I had one years ago and got my first decent laker on it but it seemd to have walked away somewhere.
adempsey Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) I stumble across those Hawger spoons every so often at various tackle shops and even TSC. Never seen a good selection though. Came across these Jig-a-Whopper lures recently. They did not come with hooks. Edited January 19, 2012 by FishLogic
aplumma Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 See if this is what you are looking for Brian jig a whopper .htm P.M. me if you need help getting them up North. Art
