I had a few of the KaRu Poison Tail Jig's laying around in my tackle box for the longest time, but never used them. My success with jigs primarily came from a different manufacturer and I was happy with them and found no reason to switch. That changed one afternoon while fishing a dense weed line that seemed to swallow up my jigs without the intent of giving them back. I quickly ran out of my standard jigs and noticed the KaRu P.T.'s laying in the container and decided to tie one on. My fishing setup was a 6'6" medium heavy rod with 30lb braid, and the 3/8oz KaRu P.T. matched up nicely with it. I cast the jig to the weedline and proceeded to bring it through the weeds. I half expected it to hang up, but surprisingly it didn't. I was able to bring the jig through weeds that my other jigs were snagging on left and right. Because of this, I was able to get in more casts since I wasn't cleaning the jig as much, and I was able to bring the jig through places that I "knew" I shouldn't be able to. In terms of quality, the jig has held up remarkably well. Both of the eyes had fallen off after a full days worth of being brought through the weeds and muck, but that didn't affect the fish bite and so it doesn't affect my opinion of the jig. The skirt it high quality, the hook is still sharp, and the painted head still looks great even though it’s been bounced a lot. I have since purchased more of these jigs and they all appear to have the same uniform quality construction. The KaRu Poison Tail jig is a hard working jig made with quality components. They have now made it to the top of my jig containers and my prior favorite jigs now rest somewhere on the bottom.
