Freshies Suggestions!
Back in the old days there were some freshwater fishermen that preferred artificial over bait. The good news is that they didn't have to "do any digging, snaring, or fouls odors! It was all about what the fishermen thought in regards to the jig/lure that they were going to be using. They had to trust it, feel like it was going to work, and come up with a personal jigging design. The most used lure that I can remember used then is still popular now is the "Hopkins's Lure." It was a simple metal style jig, which carried a treble hook in tow! All you had to do was purchase weight size preferred, tie directly on main line, cast or just drop it, and work it! Now how much simpler can you get from that! I had a customer tell me one time that if he was ever stranded on a deserted island and he could pick one lure to have it would be the old Hopkins! Now you know the rest of the story!
