So after looking at a jawjacker at sportsman's warehouse , and not wanting to shell out $40 a piece, I decided to use a bunch of PVC that I had laying around, a couple of coat hangers, and bought a package of eyehooks. 30 minutes later I had 6 little rigs that were ready to use.
I took my new toys (and my kids with a bunch of their little cousins) and headed to G.C. community pond to put them to the test.
Despite having to deal with kids needing to pee, crying because they're cold, and youngest niece falling halfway down a hole, we all managed to catch fish. The homemade jawjackers worked awesome! They had about a 60% hookup rate when they were triggered. I don't know what you can expect from the real jawjackers for hookups verses non-hookups, but it was entertaining none the less.
Kids had fun and we caught about 12-15 rainbows in a two hour time span.
