The Best Grass Jig Ever?

The Bassmaster Elite Series event on Lake Okeechobee was the site of a dominating performance by angler Ish Monroe. Ish used the "big stick" all tournament and flipped up over 100lbs of bass during the four day event. While Ish Monroe's feat was incredible, the most dominating performance not have come from an angler at all, instead it could be said the most prominent headline of the tournament was the Medlock Double Weedguard Jig.

Over half the final 12 field offered the jig as one of their primary lures during the tournament, and an even greater number were filmed with it on the end of their line during the television program. The Medlock Double Weedguard Jig isn't a completely new bait on the market, its already been credited with numerous wins by local angler, and partner in Medlock Jigs, Brandon Medlock. The incredible ability to get in and out of heavy vegetation is among the most cited reason for using this unique jig. As the name states the jig actually incorporates two weedguards to keep the hook from gathering weeds, yet the hook point is completely uninhibited and, in fact, possibly more exposed than a traditional jig.
