Trend are one of the largest manufactures of woodworking machinery. Try their website.

with so many competitors out on the market, who would you say makes the best jigs in your experiences?
also, what kind of trailer, if any, do you most frequently use?
im trying to buy my first few jigs and any help would be appreciated.
This is a great question. There are so many different styles of jigs on the market now. Arky jig and a football jig are my two choices. If you're fishing wood or an area with lots of structure with snags of wood the Arky Jig will come thru the snags easier without getting snagged. I'll work the Arky jig with my rod tip at the 10 o'clock possion to the 11 o'clock possion dropping the jig over each branch and back to the bottom. Remember to keep a little bow in your line and watch for your line to jump.
Then there is the football jig. I use the football jig when i'm fishing rock or mud banks. I usually will drag the football jig by having my rod pointed towards the water 5 o'clock or 7 o'clock and sweep my rod tip. I usually work the football jig very slowly and even let the jig sit and shake my rod tip a little. This will cause the jig to stand up and look like a crawdad tring to defend its self. Watch your rod tip closely because sometimes you dont' feel the bite as much as seeing your rod tip move.
For trailers I will use pork if the water temp is 55 deg or colder on the Arky Jig.
On the football jig I almost always use a grub trailer either a twin tail or a single tail yamamoto trailer. I've found when fishing a red mud bank or muddy water if I use a single tail yamamoto trailer with the curl of the trailer pointed down which moves more dirt, I'll get more bites. I'll use the twin tail trailers when i'm fishing rocks or swiming the jig.
Since you're buying your first Jigs I would recommend you buying the arky jig any brand name to start with. Go to your local tackle store and ask for the less expensive arky jigs they have. Stay with simple colors like all brown or all black. I will use black on dark days and muddy water conditions and brown on clear days with clear water. Remember to work the jig slowly and try to keep it moving. Shaking your rod tip will keep your jig looking like a crawdad defensive mode and an easy meal to a bass.
You are on your way to catching larger bass. There is no doubt that the jig will catch larger bass and more of them then any other lure on the market today. After you have more confidence in your arky jigs go out and buy some football jigs and try them. Check out this site for your football jigs.

They will make home made jigs to your liking, I use their football jigs.
I hope this helps

hello fellow fishermen, i was wondering if u guys had any tips for using the rapala extreme action slashbait, the rat-l-trap liv-n-sound saltwater lure and the rebel minnow jointed d. or if u recomend any jigs or lures for jacks, or any other inshore game fish. thanks
i have used the extreme action slashbait for bass fishing and it is mildly effective. I basically reel it slow and work it very minimally since it has so much action on its own
I have looked for them for over an hour now, and the Marmooska ones that are colorful with eyes i do not like. Plain metal ones are usually good. But any places?

This is to do with metal working.

If you got any favourite areas around South Australia love to hear them
high speed reels for sure then these work great they have a serrated stainless skirt of teeth around the bottom of them that snags into the jellyish body and snags them.
