Question

Hi, everyone. What are mo-jos lures , & where can i buy some.They troll them on wire with a shassy shad on them

Response

G - Man sorry for the delay but I had to research this as I had never heard of them. I guess I should fish the salt more and leave the fresh water alone for awhile. Anyway, many stores had no idea what we were looking for. But, in speaking with the Saltwater Editor for Nj Angler Magazine - Darrin Dorris - it turns out that Mo Jo lures are a rig that is trolled containing two bucktail jigs or two shads etc.... You can make these simply. Since stores have no idea what i was asking, my guess is that you will not find them in shops. tie a three way swivel to your line (wire or mono). Off of one swivel, tie a short mono lead with a light jig. From the second swivel, tie a longer mono lead with a heavier jig. basically, it sounds like a teaser rig or it can be used to imitate a small school of bait if you doctor it properly. Just experiment. good luck chris gatley www.ardentangler.org
