What other jigs are out there other than the Shimano jigs that achieve the same affect without the price?  Also, what's the best way to catch grouper with them?

thanks for the info.  Just saw the other post about this.  But before I forget to ask, what about using wire leader on them if there's the chance of getting a toothy one?

If you choose to use wire you will give up some of the hits. Snapper will not hit it with wire, and aj's also get finicky when you use it. However you will loose a few jigs to toothy critters if you don't so take your pick less hits or lost jigs. It's up to you. I don't use wire I choose to hang as many fish as I possibly can and I have only lost 1 jig all summer.
