Jig it, spin it, buzz it, if it's got a wire or a lead head, it can and will be discussed in here.

Looks great but I'm afraid it will be too easy to loose the skirt and trailer.

That jig is going to be very hard to find outside japan and being tungsten i'm sure it will be over $10

i've been doing really with with the Shimano Maki rubber jig. It too is a specific "swim jig" design.

and there is a shop in CA that carries them.

i have 6. theyre well built and work great, especially with the 4.8 fat swing impact. they just came stateside in the last week or two.
email mike (the pres of keitech usa): basscat at optonline dot net and he'll send you a catalog and price list. shipping was quick. tell him Derek from PA sent you ;)
or you can go here:
http://stores.shop.ebay.com/keitech-usa but i dont think theyre up on the site yet.

i got the black, the green pumpkin and the bluegill flash and they match up perfectly with the fat swing impacts of the same color.

@ dereck hey i might not personally like the looks of that jig, cause im sold on the Shimano Maki rubber jig, but i do commend the US pres of Keitech for bringing them in. I have inquired about the new Deps 250 size slideswimmer and Optimum has zero plans of bringing any in. When i had my local tackle shop call in to order one.

On a side note.
A friend just got hired at Megabass Japan to be the US liason, he went to school a Cal state Long beach for 5 years. So hopefully this year we can finally get support and the reels stateside

I finally got some in and the skirt holds as good as any jig. The trailer holder is a screw which seems to hold very good as well.

they work well, and with the fat swing impact its a nicely sized meal.
