Beast Coast Fishing worked with ELITE Series / MLF Bass Pro Tour Pro Gerald Spohrer over the course of 6 months to build the best bush & heavy cover flippin’ jig out: it all started with the weedguard.
“We were on the same page,” remarks Spohrer, “We both knew we needed a super-wide, single weedguard that wouldn’t let anything penetrate like a twin weedguard jig does… but it couldn’t be much deeper than a traditional round guard or we’d sacrifice hookup”. And so, the patent pending Double-Wide weedguard was born. “You can flip my G-Spo Battle Flip into cover that would normally scare a jig fisherman. If you’re flipping bushes, thick buckbrush, cane or pad clumps-it’s hard to beat.”
Other key design elements include a short-shank, 5/0 heavy duty Gamakatsu flipping hook, custom thick-cut silicon & flash fiber skirt blends, and a dual molded + wire keeper. This is the one.
Enter for a chance to win Gerald Spohrer’s 5 favorite colors in his signature series jig: Bruised, Elite Craw, BC Dirt Craw, Versace Craw, and Neon Melon Special.
Congratulations to the winners, your jigs are on the way! Thanks for entering and as always, keep an eye out for more weekly giveaways from the Wired2fish guys.
