What's up Cajuns! I wanted to spread the news that TTF has four new prototype colors we're working on, and we wanted some input from the fishing public. You'll notice they have a particular Louisiana flare. ;)

You can see the new colors, here:

The poll is located at the bottom of the right-hand column - you have to scroll down a bit to find it. We want your feedback. Your votes may decide which of these colors see the light of day!

bayou bengal looks sweet!

I like the 3 others better, but willing to give any of them a try.
That white with purple glitter is different.

What is that Flex jig?

Ray, I'm working up more info on that right now, actually.

From this photo you can basically get the concept:

Basically you insert the hook trailer from the back and through the nose of the bait, then you clip the head on and slide the plastic up the head so that everything is enclosed in the plastic. Since the shaft of the hook is free to "flex", the bait takes on a lot more action that with a fixed-shank jighead. Pretty cool concept. The Flex jig was invented by a fella' named Jack Stazo. He's given TTF exclusive rights to manufacturing the head.

Here's a shot from the website of what it looks like rigged:

Very interesting.

very innovative concept!

I like the geaux gleaux and bayou bengal... that jig concept is neat has it been field tested yet? How well does the bait stay on after it has been hit a couple of times?

Thanks for the feedback and question.

The Flex-Jig can be rigged from the back, top and many other ways. The bait will not come off until you take it off. Since the hook is inserted from the top or back and then connected to the head pin, the bait is basically linked on. It's on to stay since it can't slide down.

Really a very nice looking bait.

Field test w/ prove if they will work......I like the concept of jig head.........

what length will the flex jig head come in ....i gots an idea!!!

The dual hooks for the Flex-Jig come in all different sizes that fit different size baits.

One Tip to add length to the hook for shrimp tails--- add a swivel to the dual hook then attach the hook and swivel to the pin on the jig head. This puts the hook right at the tail.

The Flex-Jig packaging will come with rigging instructions and tips printed on it.

Ha, what you got bouncing around in that noggin of yours?

If we get a lot of interest we may be able to manufacture the hook trailer in different lengths, gaps and wire sizes. I can't tell you the exact length of the rig from head to hook, but the one in the picture is about 3 inches.

I'll tell ya' a little something I've been experimenting with: putting a spoon (with a barrel swivel) behind the head. Looks wicked in the water. And it let's you get a faster sink rate on your spoon in deeper water.

Lots of possibilities with the Flex jig!

;););)send me one and ill tell ya if what im thinkin works .. ill give you a hint think bass lure

like a frog with the two back hooks?





TTF, i know exactly what you mean by the spoon behind the head, kinda like a "road runner"

i like the jig head with the big red eye, also seen some TTF baits at academy today

so which one is the saltycajun color? :confused:

I sent samples to Shadman. Not sure if he received them yet. The Salty Cajun is still in the works.

Salty Cajun has Opening Night in it. I gave him 2 different color combination ideas I thought would be great fish and fisherman catchers. But the final color is up to ya'll.

xtra glitter please

think big swimbait 6-8in

now you could rig this w/o having to do it this way with a stinger tied on

The flex jig looks killer Jason. You can send me a couple if you need some more testers! ha!
As the colors I have to go with the bait formerly know as prince! good stuff!

shaddy dropped the ball eh?? where's he been hidin anyway

thanks TTF! Good effort in trying to find out what the LA guys like to throw!

Nah, he's waiting on my samples. We'll have the Salty Cajun color soon. The color combo's with Opening Night will really pop.

Hopefully they'll be waiting on me when I get home today. :) I'm looking forward to seeing 'em!

TTF and HR&G would like to thank all who stopped by the HR&G Booth at the Houston Boat Show. Please visit the TTF Booth and HR&G Booth during the Holder Fishing Show the first week of March at the George R Brown in Houston.

Went the Saint's game this past Sat. vs the Cardinals. One of the best times I've ever passed. The whole experience was flat out insane. Man, I may get season tickets next year if the waiting list is not too long.

Geaux Saint's!!!!

Only 50-60 thousand people good luck

Dang! Guess no season tickets for me.

Having season tickets is paying off for some. Take a look at what this weeks game tickets are going for. www.fansnap.com

wow i could sell mine for almost a grand each:eek::eek::eek:...I would rather be at the game though

Need a few more votes. Here is how the colors stand:

Purple Rain----31%
Geaux Gleaux--30%
Bayou Bengal--27%
Phat Tuesday--12%
*rounded off

Tough call as to which color to release first.

Salty Cajun or Saltycajun.com color has beed decided and is being poured. Should have samples and photos soon.

Thanks,

TTF

HR&G game me some TTF baits for the Houston Boat Show. Good guys. Good baits.

Thanks Ray!!!

The folks at HR&G are good people!

Glad you see the effort we make to produce high quality soft plastics that are tough, yet flexiable enough to put off exellent action.

The winner is Geaux Gleaux!

2nd Purple Rain
3rd Bayou Bengal

We'll let you know when the new colors will be released.

Thanks for the votes and feedback.
