Pure Poison Jigs

06/07/2024

Just because you don't see us here online very often, doesn't mean we aren't up to stuff. If you haven't been to www.purepoisonjigstore.com lately you might wanna check out that tungsten jig selection along with the new 2024 and 2025 skirt colors gallery that just dropped. See you on the water.

A big shout out to Bunch Marine in Kingston TN who just hooked me up with this rocket ship. Now tomorrow if you hear the guitar solo from Free Bird and this 4 stroke rumbling in the distance, please move right cause I'm going to be test piloting this all day while practicing not hurting myself before I take it derby fishing.

Effective immediately we will cease production of Trokar equipped jigs. All models currently in stock ( Tour Edition Peanut Jigs with a Trokar Pro V hooks ) will be discounted and sold until our supply of both weights is exhausted. We will be replacing the current Trokar equipped premium lineup with identical models equipped with Gamakatsu hooks. All current orders for Trokar products are filled and headed out to customers. New photos etc. of the new models will begin appearing online over the next two weeks. All models except the aforementioned Tour Edition Peanuts will be removed from our site this afternoon as soon as time allows.

We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause some of our loyal online customers as our Trokar models have been very well received over the years. PPJ was one of the first to adopt the Trokar hook when they were introduced. We are disappointed to stop using them.

However this decision on our part was driven by corporate decisions at the parent company of Eagle Claw to transition away from bulk sales of Trokar hooks in favor of packaged sales in smaller quantities at higher prices with no discounts for small or mid size manufacturers and to wholesale hook suppliers who we utilize in our supply chain. This was compounded by discontinuation of key hook models central to our lineup as well.

PPJ has built its reputation over nearly two decades of online sales and sales to independently owned tackle dealers by producing superior products built to higher standards, which produce results, because fishing is our passion. These are more than slogans. They are our core values and guide everything we do. That’s why you find them on page one of our web store. Part of those core values also includes bringing superior products to our dealers and individual customers at fair, market competitive prices every angler can afford. Our new lineup that will replace the Trokar collection allows PPJ to continue to honor those core values.

That being said, we know you see it. Because we see it. For the last few years many companies have navigated the current economy by giving you less for more. Smaller quantities, at higher prices, cheaper components, abrupt discontinuation of whole product lines without equitable replacements or alternatives…manipulation of inventory levels to increase demand, elimination of discounts or increased minimum order requirements, higher shipping fees, bu****it “market adjustments”, required subscription services and product bundles, and hosts of made up add on adjustments or fees for every type of product you can imagine from automobiles to services you buy from healthcare, financial instruments, banking, even to how you watch college football on your cotton picking television. All intended to eliminate competition in the marketplace, give you less for your dollar spent and to reduce your choices as a consumer.

As long as I own and control PPJ that will never happen. We don’t abuse our dealers, we protect them. We also value and seek to maintain relationships with our online customers the same way. Because that corporate loyalty shown to our clients will endure far longer than hard times. At PPJ its understood that once the storms are past, those we’ve done right by during hard times, even when it hurt our bottom line a bit, will exponentially reward us with thier loyalty and purchasing choices when times are good again. We also understand tough patches never last, good times don’t last forever either and how you behave during both demonstrates the true values of a business and reflects the character of those who own, work for and lead them.

That’s how PPJ has navigated every “crisis” since 2004. That’s why we offer our clients flexible options to complete purchases online and accept multiple forms of electronic payment with zero extra fees tacked on. Thats why we still offer over 100 colors and 40 different jig configurations at our online store. It’s why I continue to answer the phone calls and e-mails personally. It’s why I take custom orders and if the parts to make those are on hand, at PPJ, we don’t upcharge for custom work.

That’s how PPJ has continued to slowly grow in a manageable and controlled manner every single year since 2005 and how we expect to continue to grow going forward. It’s the same mind set that has improved our processes, created innovative product lines, reduced costs of production and has improved fulfillment times and customer satisfaction rankings which rival those of any big box brand on earth without exception. PPJ isn’t afraid to compete anywhere, any time, against anyone, at any level…and we don’t care how others do it…we compete against self first. The rest takes care of itself.

There will be no price increases at PPJ on the new Gamakatsu lineup. There will be no wholesale, bulk or retail price increases on our entire product line for the remainder of 2023. We’ve held the line on prices despite inflation and increased interest rates etc. since Jan 2022 and at this time will not consider further adjustments in our market prices or margins until the end of April 2024.

I encourage those who wish to “ wipe out” the remaining stocks of our Tour Edition Peanuts currently in stores to visit Jerry’s Baitshop in Rockwood, EZ Troll Outdoors in Kingston, Mckee Outdoors in Greenback and Halls Sports and Outdoors in Jamestown and sweep the pegs while you have the chance.

For online customers I have 700 units of the 5/16 Tour Edition Peanut Head with Pro V hook Remaining and 350 units of the 1/2 oz jig heads on hand and ready to go. The new pricing for those will be online by 700 PM tonight. You know what to do…

And starting in 2024 PPJ will be selling a variety of tungsten terminal tackle under our brand including Shakey Heads worm weights, nail weights, drop shot stuff, swim jig heads and we are adding 2 new tungsten jigs to the lineup and 5 custom inked skirt colors that are going to blow you away.

I thank you for your business and support of the independent tackle dealers who carry my products.

All internet orders are filled and will be in route to customers tomorrow morning.

McKee Outdoors has been fully reloaded with all models and all colors he required. We know there has been a run on our infamous smoky mountain craw hue and rest assured Mr, McKee has em in quantities in everything you need.

Jerry’s bait shop in Rockwood will be receiving a big ol shipment that will fill all those empty pegs Mrs. Donna has cleared recently in about 48 more hours. Including flipping jigs and Trokar Tour Edition Peanut Head Jigs.

We will be checking in on our remaining dealers later this week if any of you guys need something pronto, just pick up the bat phone because Area 51 is now on war footing once again and we are turning out the jigs…rapidly. (Our mail lady and UPS man can attest to that)

We are extremely pleased to announce something coming very soon. We have now secured the necessary supply chains, the R &D is done…the prototyping is done. Our next step is limited initial commercial production.

By late fall this year, PPJ will be producing an entire lineup of Premium products including football heads, flipping jigs, peanut heads, and a absolutely nasty, 3/4 oz heavy cover flipping jig you can snag a tuna with…all of which will feature Owner Silky Jungle Hooks or Owner Cutting Points. Xo Wire construction means lighter, thinner, and stronger hooks…More compact, more corrosion resistant, and simply put, the sharpest hook you have ever seen, that is also durable even under the worst conditions.

This new lineup meets the standards you find emblazoned across our home page. “ Products Built to Higher Standards” and Products which Produce Results” in every way. At PPJ our mantras haven’t changed in 17 years. This new product line is proof they don’t need to change either.

We think the new premium lineup is going to be well received by pros and amateurs alike. The initial trial results have been impressive. Extremely impressive. In fact, we think this lineup will be unrivaled by anyone…without exception.

This premium lineup will compliment our standard models which feature mustad hooks, which will never go away. So no worries there folks. The premium lineup will feature jigs with some new wrinkles including a compact 3/8 football head which our customers have been requesting for quite some time. A swim jig with the owner system is also imminent.

Additionally, we will be adding 34 more new colors to the largest skirt color selection chart in the industry. We will be displaying this lineup in its own separate collection online in a few weeks. ( as we don’t have room to add items to the one currently on display which has 100 already) and this winter we are considering another skirt gallery where you can acquire some of our “throwback colors” which are very hard to find, unless you know somebody with connections…

As is our tradition, It’s almost time for the Gary Lindsey Memorial Bass Tournament. And once again this year, we are putting 500 bucks on that smallmouth lunker’s head to sweeten the pot.

Thank you for your business and support of our fine dealers. See you on the water.

Owner PPJ.

All internet orders are filled and out the door. Thank you for your business.

Now for some announcements.

We are pleased to report our little business just keeps quietly chugging along, ignoring all the hyperbole you see in the industry when things lean up and the competition for your money intensifies as every anglers budget tightens with the ebb and flow of economic slowdowns. For those who don’t get it yet, the industry is slowing post pandemic and some of the issues present then, remain problematic now. Some even more so than they were in the recent past. These issues aren’t going away anytime soon either. No company in this already highly competitive space is immune. Ours included.

But what makes us different, is we have weathered storms before...and came out stronger when they passed. Because when times get a little dicey we maintain our focus. We keep right on building quality gear. We don’t skimp on components, we don’t reduce quantities and yes we charge a fair price for them. We sell in 3 packs and 2 packs to save money on the packaging and printing and we concentrate on keeping our brick and mortar guys protected and in business and keeping the old internet engine well tuned and the online store modern, and filled with stuff you can buy and not wait on a back order for.

We focus on customers. One jig at a time. Delivering products built to higher standards, with proven performance and a reputation forged in the fires of competition that delivers results as promised. As we always have.

That being said, several months ago we added shop pay to our Shopify site as an option for all customers. A neat option through Affirm, where you the consumer, can divide your purchase into 4 equal installments paid once every two weeks, automatically billed to your credit card, interest free with zero hidden fees or interest.

A few weeks ago we opened this option to our network of small privately owned tackle shops who sell our stuff, because it helps them and it helps PPJ as well.


Now we have a whole new wrinkle we are going to add effective tonight. Full disclosure this option is also through affirm, but it is not interest free. However, those who decide to utilize this payment option, in which you can divide your purchases into monthly installments, will find the rate lower than you guessed and you can now purchase up to 17,500 dollars worth of PPJ products and divide your payments into installments billed over 12 months. That opens a whole new avenue for prospective new dealers and distributors. We get our money up front and both buyer and seller are protected. But you don’t have to be a tackle shop or wholesaler to use this option either…You the average customer can use it as well. When you checkout at our site you can read all about the monthly installment plans available and choose the one that fits for you.

This gives us the same capabilities you see with the big boys retailers who don’t carry our stuff. It gives you more flexibility in your fishing budget as well.

It’s also one reason we committed to our dealer network and you our online clients, to hold prices steady with no further product price increases throughout 2022. We will continue to use a flat rate 10.00 shipping fee with free shipping over a minimum order threshold. We don’t hide our shipping fees in the product costs and say we don’t charge shipping. Any business who tells you shipping is “free” isn’t being transparent with you. Nothing is free ( especially shipping materials, not to mention diesel fuel and jet fuel) and shipping costs constitute a significant portion of the prices you pay on those sites and those costs are concealed inside the price charged for the product. Period, end of story…There we said it…

We know things are tight right now for many of our clients. So we do all we can to make it a little easier for you to keep using our products. It’s why Purepoisonjigstore.com is ranked in the top tier of Shopify performing sites for satisfied customers and why the search engines label us as a trusted site.

It’s also why when this latest set of challenges pass, and they will eventually pass, PPJ will emerge stronger than ever. Just as we did before. Remain calm and keep casting…you can bet we will be doing exactly that.

Thanks for your business. See you on the water.

We are sending some refills to Jerry’s bait shop this week as well as getting a big old shipment ready for EZ Troll Outdoors this evening. EZ Troll is adding two more new 2022 colors to thier lineup a watermelon magic hue which is an exact match to the zoom products of that name and a new color they commissioned us to make just for them we are dubbing ”EZ Melon” You are gonna like both.

We currently have 900 units of the 5/16 Tour Edition Trokar jigs on hand and once this supply is exhausted this will be the end of the Trokar equipped tour edition model. We also have around 1400 units of the 1/2 oz model with 500 on hand and 900 more in production now that will be available end of April or early may. But, don’t fret. We have found a replacement for hook for this lineup ( A Mustad Pro V style with needlepoint) that hits like a freight train. Has an oversized 30 degree eyelet (vertical) which has frankly revealed to us another wrinkle for this lineup…Because now you can not only flip it, you can use it as swim jig in grassy stuff. Once we get those into mass production we will put them on our website in in our brick and mortar dealers.

In May we will also make our new tungsten NED heads available online. 97 percent tungsten, 2/0 black nickel hooks and double wire w**d guard set up. Those will be available in 1/10 oz and 1/6 oz initially with other weights to follow.

Thank you for your business and supporting our fine local dealers.

Well, well well. The Bassmaster classic is returning to Fort Loudon in 2023. Was gonna post a story here at PPJ but instead I am gonna post it on a more appropriate page ( my personal one ). If you wish to read it there you can find it if you look.

In 2018 PPJ called our shot before the last one…darn near pulled it off too.

Well…may as well do it again…

So here goes…in 2023 at the Bassmaster Classic on Fort Loudon Lake PPJ will be in the damned mix right up until the final cast is made on championship Sunday…

This time it’s gonna probably be red, orange, green, black and brown…it’s gonna act differently from anything out there and it’s gonna wreck em all over the place…

But this time, it’s gonna be a “unknown red crank bait of local origin” hand made from wood.

That’s right you heard me…I didn’t stutter…and I have a whole year to get it dialed in. You would be stunned to see what can happen in Area 51 In a year…PPJ has a reputation for surprises…

Consider this post a throwing down of the gauntlet of sorts…and a warning…This time it’s not about the publicity, the credit, the resume builder, the potential money to be made afterwards…There are no points left to prove to anyone about being able to compete on anglings biggest stage for our stuff. None of that matters to me anymore.

This time It’s personal…

Now all that is left to do is find out which qualifier out there after this season is gonna need one or a dozen, and is going to call me to get his made first once I get it dialed in…and there won’t be any freebies handed out to anyone for any reason, no matter how much they beg or who they send to beg for more on their behalf, once the real fishing starts. They won’t be available in local shops where a peg can be cleared in the practice rounds and I won’t be accepting promises…or compliments, traded gear, or referrals to others in exchange for them…bring your a Visa cards or cash instead…

Thanks to everyone who came to see me today at the McKee Outdoors booth and load up on your PPJ. I and Matt appreciate your business. We moved some serious jig weight today and sincerely thank all who came this week before I arrived and those who returned today to make custom orders knowing I was there to take them.

As predicted, our crank bait blank inventory is now 0…as in all gone…none left…it only took 53 minutes once I arrived today.

We still have absolutely killer deals on all PPJ jigs, (think 35 to 50 percent off retail before bulk discounts are applied) so if you haven’t exploited this once a year chance to load your tackle box in advance of spring, you may want to come see me tomorrow. Last day 10 to 5. Knoxville expo center off Merchants drive. Just look for the traffic circling the expo center…you can’t miss it.

I usually don’t promote other brands on my pages, however when I find something really good, I don’t hesitate to help out another lure maker.
You need to visit the show and go check out River Rock Baits. Guys I have been using them for a year, and today I reloaded. That should tell you all you need to know. You won’t find better custom soft plastics than the ones these guys are making. Tell them I sent you.

I would also like to congratulate Mr. Ott Defoe…Ott, in 17 years of selling products (mine and others) at this show, I have never seen a single product move as fast, and in the quantities I am seeing your Rapala OG Flat and OG mini move like I did today. ( they are within arms reach of me, so I am assisting by simply pointing at them as people come into the McKee Outdoors booth complex looking for them and have educated several about the rootbeer hued ones) You have a not one, but two, bona fide superstar level baits there. Congratulations sir. I salute you. I am planning on picking up a couple tomorrow myself if any are left….

So, all you folks debating on attending the show, if you want the OGs, you all better hurry on down. Additionally, Matt also has everything you could possibly want or need in one booth…seriously…and the rods are flying outta there. Come see us tomorrow and don’t miss out…

One more special announcement related to the 2022 East Tennessee Fishing Show this weekend. As many of you are aware at PPJ we have recently shifted our focus back entirely to one thing…jigs…

We did that because jigs are what we do better than anybody. It’s the primary driver of the business. For that reason we no longer mass produce hard baits. Occasionally, we make a few here and there and when we do they go online in small batches. They are no longer produced routinely.

That being said you hobbyists who love to sling paint may wish to come see us at the show in the McKee Outdoors booth. We are liquidating all remaining stocks of our hard bait blanks to make room in the shop for more jig stuff. We will be moving these at prices you won’t pass up. If anything is left afterwards they will be liquidated online via our web store. We have blanks of every type you can think of.

Here are a but a few examples

7 inch glide bait savage gear KO with vinyl tail, primed in white….12 in stock. 4.00 each.

5 inch jointed Shad swim bait, white, Dacron joints, paint brush tail 30 in stock 3.00 each

110 floating foiled MB KO 134 in stock 1.00 each

110 clear MB KO. 50 in stock. 1.00 each

1.5. clear. 30 left. 1.00 each

2.5. Clear 35 left. 1.00 each

Norman deep little n clone 20 left clear, 1.00 each

Fat poppa clones 20 left 1.00 each

Spro LJ KO knocker with fiber lip 20 in stock. 1.20 each

Spro LJ KO with rattles to PPJ pj6 spec. Lexan lip 1.20 each 40 left

1/2 oz lipless foiled 35 in stock 1.00 each

1/4 lipless trap clear 40 on hand. .75 each

Ploppers all sizes. 3.00 each.

MB flap slap clones 200 in stock 1.00 each

LC pointer clones 25 left 1.00 each

Duo A 20 R deep runners 22 feet with weight transfer system 3.25 each

DT clones plastic 16 ft with dimples. 10 foot clear 1.00 each 85 left

Local hobbyists can arrange pickup at the show with advance payment in full. All others shipping is 10 bucks flat rate via USPS to your door. Once these are gone that’s it…

The East Tennessee Fishing Show starts this Thursday evening and continues through Sunday at the Knoxville Expo Center off Merchants Drive. It’s one of the best shows you will find this side of the classic and is roundly considered one of the best, if not the best in the entire South Eastern United States. You will find us again this year in the McKee Outdoors Booth Complex right near the entrances and yes, like every year, PPJ is loaded for bear. Matt’s rack is full to capacity with all our best colors loved locally and across our region, in every model we make. There are ample supplies of hues like Watts Bar Killer, Fort Loudon Killer, Chicamauga Killer, Cherokee Killer, Spoiled Pumpkin with the chartreuse highlights, and of course we stacked the rack our #1 scheme, the notorious “Monkey Puke” color in every model on the board today…

We have stocked Matt with the McKee Outdoors house brand tungsten football heads with hand tied flat living rubber skirts by PPJ…Those are in limited quantities available in 3/8 and 1/2 oz models. They are sold as singles for the show. They will sell out…No doubt about it…(Call Matt if you are a regular and get yours now if you can, after that first come, first served).

We will be taking custom orders at the show. At show prices, for two days only. Friday night and Saturday. You can make your custom order, we will put you in the production cue after the show. build your gear, and ship it to your door. Order over 150 dollars worth on a custom build, shipping is on PPJ. Less than 150 flat shipping rates apply…

Now for newbies to the show, or those considering a visit to the PPJ section here is the deal. We’ve done this show every year since 2005. We do it the same way every year. At PPJ we don’t mark stuff up in little increments for 6 months beforehand, nor do we jack up the internet prices the week before the big show, to give you an impression you are getting a real deal at the fishing show. That’s called a “faux deal”. That’s how the big boys roll at trade shows “Black Friday style” and it’s not honest or fair to the consumer.

At PPJ we do it right. When you come see us, you find our jigs priced below our usual prices, with an additional discounts for bulk purchases over 4 bags of jigs, that if utilized by the customer, allows you to buy our top shelf custom made stuff, you can’t find anywhere else, at around 3 bucks a bag cheaper than normal. There are no catches, no gimmicks, no prerequisites, no hoops to jump through to get the deals. You can mix and match your styles and colors…You can mix and match lead and tungsten products…

The deal is simple….Buy 4 or more bags of jigs, take another buck off each pack of PPJ you buy.

You can buy as few or as many as you wish. The bigger the purchase, the more you save in the long run. We will even sell you the cotton picking rack they hang on, if you want it. Our goal is to sell out. (And yes, we have done that before at this show, more than once).

Matt accepts cash (cause cash is king)and can also can accept all major credit and debit cards safely and quickly at the show.

Now, since I was in Matt’s place today and got a sneak peak at the gear he is bringing, I am gonna drop some hints….You swim bait guys better come early. Cause he has stuff nobody else has. Period…It’s all exotic, it’s all beautiful, and if you adore DEPS…well, don’t forget to hit the ATM on the way to the show is all I can say…I saw some other nice new swim baits straight outta the land of the rising sun that got my attention too…Just dirty looking stuff…I even heard there may be 2 Roman Made Swim baits available for you high rollers too.

He has an arsenal of rod and reel deals you will not beat anywhere ( I went ahead and bought my new Shimano X Pride jig rod and a new Shimano SLX DC today, because I knew what was gonna happen to every single one of those Thursday morning). He has Loomis, He has Shimano, Dobyns, Abu, Lews, Halo, Diawa, and he may have a few Megabass sticks laying about.

Matt has the crank baits too. All the heavy hitters. In addition to some gorgeous hand shot evergreen shower blows and custom plugs. Lipless baits? Yep…he has em…Blade baits…got those too…

Wanna jackhammer or two? Straight outta Japan baby…He has your jackhammers…if you are one of the six guys left in East TN, who haven’t bought a jackhammer yet, you need to understand, the jackhammer is aptly named and hits em different..they are worth what you pay for em…so you may wanna see Matt and the crew and buy a half dozen…cause if you are in a bladed jig battle and don’t have one, and your competition does, my friend, you are carrying a knife into a gun fight…just saying…

You wanna custom skirt to put on your jackhammers? Well, at PPJ we have 126 colors available…everyday…and we can make anything you dream up…period…see us and make custom order at the show…

Are you a Megabass Jerk Bait j***y like I am? Cause if you are, you may wanna coat your visa in asbestos to keep from melting the stripe off it…You may wanna come see Matt directly when you enter the door. He has em. Lots of em…in all the colors that matter..and some you probably haven’t seen, that if you tried…would change your thinking…

Thinking about upgrading your battery system to Lithium? Yep, guess who has em? and these are really well priced…extremely well priced and solidly backed by the manufacturer. Mr. McKee can hook you up…Need a charger for em? No problem…He has you covered…

Soft plastics, terminal tackle, those little accessories you frequently miss but need (like quality braid snips etc.) He will have all that stuff in one big ol giant booth complex.

Like crappie? Deon of D’S Baits will be there right beside PPJ in the complex…with all his stuff…( hint, he also makes the nastiest little buzz bait you have ever thrown take my word on it)…

The McKee outdoors booth complex will be rocking. One stop for everything you need, and some stuff you don’t need, but want…with guys there like team PPJ to assist you in making the right purchases. If you need a jig or other accessories specific to your lake…or don’t know exactly what you need, come find me or one of my crew and we will help you find the best one to help you catch fish where you live, that’s within your budget. Have a question about a product or how to use it ? Just ask. Somebody there will have an answer or we will find one from somebody that does. Anglers of every type and skill level are welcome at the McKee Outdoors booth.

We look forward to seeing our legions of loyal local customers, our annual out of state visitors who trek to Knoxville to see us at this show, and look forward to meeting new anglers to this show as well. We missed seeing you last year. I will be wearing the PPJ skull n bones jersey and shouldn’t be hard to find….

See ya at the show…
