I think it’s a great jig. The hook is thin enough for fishing deep, but still stout enough to handle big fish. You can’t beat hand tied in the way they put just enough weed guard to be effective but not too thick to interfere with the hook set on deep fish. I’m also a big fan of vertical line tie jigs. I don’t care for horizontal line ties so this jig is perfect for me and I’m sure you will like it too.
