Cheaper 5" Big Hammer Alternatives

Post by godshippy » Thu Mar 02, 2023 4:39 pm

Hey guys--do any of you know of, or have a recommendation on, a 5" Big Hammer alternative that's cheaper than $1.50 a bait?

I'm starting to get more into saltwater jetty fishing and losing jigs happens...a lot! I've been able to find cheaper jig heads, but the darn Big Hammer swimbait tails are just so pricey these days!

If you can get by with a 4.5” swimbait, the Lunker City Salt Shaker is $.75/bait.
