Tried them for the heck of it one time at Oakley and found it to work better than other rapalas, flicker shads, etc. Tried to find them in stores... no go. Found a few on-line and paid a premium for them. For some reason, that size and that color continue to produce.I can't remember ever using a whistler jig, so I looked it up, is this what you are talking about?
Other tactic that I use at Oakley (and everywhere else) is a whistler jig tipped with crawler or minnow. Chartreuse or glow have worked everywhere I have used them for walleye, perch, bass and trout.
Will be there on Saturday to give it a whirl!

That is the right one... The new ones have eyes that are glued on and they have a tendency to fall off with repeated use. Casting shallow with a tipped 1/16 = Money!
