Gann's Performance Tackle

Tackle Tour Reviews Ganns 6.0 Flippin' Jig

Gann's Performance Tackle is another Northern California Bait company producing quality products. In December of 2008 we published a preview of this company's product line that featured a rather unique and well regarded football head jig. Today we take a closer look at their Flippin/Pitchin' Jig.

The Skirt: The Gann's Flippin'/Pitchin' jig features a hand tied silicone skirt that is made up of anywhere from fifty to sixty individual strands. It is available in eighteen different colors. The interesting about these skirts is where most hand tied skirts feature one band of thread around the skirt material, Gann's uses an old technique of first putting down a layer of thread beneath the skirt to prevent the silicone material from slipping on the jig's collar. The skirt is then secured with a final wrap over the silicone strands.

Pluses and Minuses:

Plus	Minus
J Quality quality quality	L Quality comes at a price
J Big, sharp, heavy duty hook by Gamakatsu	L Can be difficult to find
J Intricate and durable paint on jighead
J Available online if you cannot find it in a local shop

The Hook: This jig gets its name from the massive 6/0 heavy wire, flat eye, Gamakatsu hook that is its heart and soul. This larger than normal hook helps to ensure more positive hooksets in dense cover. The jig itself is available in sizes ranging from one quarter (1/4) ounce on up to one (1) ounce and features a powder coated head.

Head & Line Tie: The line ties on all our Gann's jigs were free and clear from any paint. They are positioned in such a way as to lift the jig up and over any obstructions you might encounter, but it is unconcealed so care must be taken to inspect your knot or just retie every so often. The head on this Flippin'/Pitchin' head is a bit more angular than the typical grass jig head and moved through weeds very well.

Durability: The powder coated heads on our Flippin'/Pitchin' jigs held up just fine to use in and around wood and rocks and during our sidewalk torture test. We encountered no premature wear issues with the quality hand tied skirt. <See Full TackleTour.com Article> <Buy Jigs>

Tackle Tour Reviews Gann's Spinnerbait

The Blades: Gann's Stilleto Spinnerbait features a tandem willow and Indiana blade configuration giving off just a tad more vibration than a double willow leaf blade combination. Each blade features a high quality finish that gives off a good deal of flash in the water .

The Skirt: Gann's hand ties the skirts of all their spinnerbaits onto the body of the bait. They do so starting at the very end of the skirt material, instead of the center, creating a larger profile for each of their baits. A decision that is no doubt influenced by the desire to attract better quality bites. The big bait fisherman in me likes this little attention to detail.

The Hook: As with their jig products, Gann's Performance Tackle leverages the needle sharp point of Gamakatsu hooks for their spinnerbaits. This is another �nice-to-have� detail but certainly not a requirement given the number of quality hook brands out there today.

The Head: The Stilleto Spinnerbait features a molded jig head made popular by one of our following manufacturers, Revenge Baits. Gann's particular implementation also features an elongated body beneath the skirt providing the room to increase or decrease the bait's weight without affecting the size of the actual head.

Effectiveness: In the final analysis, the Stilleto Spinnerbait is really a very basic spinnerbait. Where Gann's makes its mark, again is in the quality of components and the care taken in each assembly. Rounding out the list of quality parts are Sampo ball bearing swivels which are very well regarded for their consistent, long lasting performance doing their work to keep your blades turning at minimal retrieve speeds. Looking for a quality, no nonsense spinnerbait product? This is it.
