The Bait Buffet DP Jig is one of the most productive and reliable baits ever made. This is also the very first lure we ever designed. Like many of our designs, this was built out of necessity. While in college, I quickly learned the fish catching power of a "finesse" style jig. This style of bait gets a tremendous amount of bites, and also can produce some straight up giant bass. I also quickly learned that almost all the mass produced versions had light wire hooks. After a frustrating series of lost fish because of straightened hooks, I sat down with my best friend and FLW angler Bryan Partak to design the perfect "finesse" jig. When we were done I literally had $20 left in my bank account. That weekend we went on to win an event with the jig. No risk, no reward right!
Objective 1 - Strong Hook: This jig was built from the ground up around a 4/0 Gamakatsu heavy wire hook. We chose this hook for a number of reasons.
Objective 2 - Durability: Let's face it, fishing is expensive. I want my baits to last more than a few fish. We have accomplished this in a number of ways.
Objective 3 - It has to look good: It needs to look good to the bass! We used the following strategies to appeal to their senses:
For the last eight years, only a select few of my buddies have had access to this jig. Even with such a limited user group, the Bait Buffet DP Jig has put thousands of fish in our boats. We are proud to introduce it to you and are extremely excited to see the full potential of this jig all across the country.

Objective 1 - Strong Hook: This jig was built from the ground up around a 4/0 Gamakatsu heavy wire hook. We chose this hook for a number of reasons.
- They are extremely sharp for easy penetration.
- The hook has an exaggerated barb that is NO JOKE. The land ratio is amazing. When you hit one, you can just about start counting the prize money.
- The thicker wire gives you a more durable point. Making the jig last longer.
Objective 2 - Durability: Let's face it, fishing is expensive. I want my baits to last more than a few fish. We have accomplished this in a number of ways.
- We powder paint each jig by hand and then heat set them to create an extremely durable finish.
- We use industrial strength glue to keep the weed guard in the head.
- We use a 40 strand double banded skirt. This gives the skirt a tremendous amount of grip.
Objective 3 - It has to look good: It needs to look good to the bass! We used the following strategies to appeal to their senses:
- The double band creates a unique shape to the skirt that makes it flair our in the front, but also "poofs" it out in the back giving it a slightly larger profile and more natural movement in the water.
- Our powder paint colors have been chosen specifically to match the skirts creating a seamless transition.
- We use a two toned weed guard. By breaking up the colors it helps keep the fish from honing in on anything unnatural.
- Keep color simple. We narrowed down to the absolute most productive colors.
