I've bought dressed jigs from Andy and the hooks are plenty tough. Jigs are good, too. I've also purchased both dressed and plain jigheads from Mike Floyd of Rainbow Jigs (rainbowjigs@AOL.com)and his are very good as well. Both recommended.

If you get the Bass Pro saltwater catalog (Offshore Anglers), they sell jigs (dressed and plain) that hold up to salmon and steelhead. Check out p. 76 of the 2000 catalog "Roundhead" (10 pcs/ $2.50) and "Flathead" jigs in 1/8 to 1/2 oz sizes. These sharpen well and while they will bend some in a big fish, I've never had one straighten out. Perhaphs the best is the Kalin "Ultimate Jig Head" features chemically sharpened, strong hooks. It's much more expensive at 3 pcs/ $3.50 but, hey, what are you gonna spend your money on, right?

Other than those three places, I can't think of many -- if any -- steelhead jigs where I don't bend the hooks and/ or needlessly lose fish in fresh and/ or salt. Sad.
