does anyone know if jacks jigs is still in business? i need some of his weedless jigs.
Only thing I can say is that I was at the cottage in Minocqua a couple of weeks ago and stopped at the bait shop for some leeches. I saw a small bin of Jacks Weedless Jigs and there was a sign on it that said something like "This is the last of 'em, when they're gone they're gone". Don't know if Jack's is out of business, but this sign sure didn't make it sound too good.
Best Regards,
FJH

what bait shop in minoqua? i'll take a ride up there
Kurt's Island Sports, just across the street from BJ's sports. Do you know the shop I'm talking about. They do have a web site, something like kurtsislandsports.com. I'd give them a call if I were you, maybe they'd just ship them out.
Best Regards,

My understanding is that Jack from Jack jigs passed away this spring. It is also my understanding that the family was continuing the business. They were at the Milwaukee sports show after his passing. I hope that this is accurate.

Jack Remus died after a tough battle with cancer. The family did say they would try to keep the business going. They do, however, have other issues with which they must contend. Personally, I wish them every possible good fortune -- they have had a large dose of misfortune.
