Will they get down in a current? It seems by the description "with a moderate to fast retrieve you can work it on the top" it might not get down in current if you have any line tension to keep in touch with it. PJJ what do you think , can you get it down in a current thats almost always pretty fast?

I have not tried it in a fast current yet,I just got them back from the caster.I would think 4 1/2 oz would get down,but maybe not,this might be a terrible lure for the canal.

it looks like a great jig for the canal.. One suggestion joe, is to offer them non plated, plain hook for the canal guys to keep the cost down.. just a thought.

4.5 will get down in most spots, on most tides, with a quartering cast upcurrent.

Most Canal guys won't care about the finish--no matter how good the finish is, it's going to take a beating from rocks and mussel beds. The plainer, the better.

I like them and have a whole 'nuther spot for one or two. Leave some at Nelson's please.
