Old stuff that came with treats

[Don]

From time to time I've bought boxes of junk online. Along with the targeted species such as reels and so forth all kinds of other goodies are often included. Of the items below and is anyone or recommending the use of them anymore.

The A27 diamond Jig is still widely used in saltwater fishing. A friend likes to use them for Stripers, Sea Bass and Porgies. I prefer to use Hogy Epoxy Jigs in those instances but he is "saltier" than me and still uses them.

Is it slid along the bottom or trolled for suspended fishes.

The diamond jig is nothing more than a chunk of steel isn’t it? The other rig is a trolling lure I would assume

It appears to be chromed steel.

The one with spinner is I think a lake trout minnow rig but I was hoping someone smart would tell me

Yes, the jig is just that. Casts forever though. You’ll find racks of them at most tackle stores in NJ.

So perhaps you may say that the heavy jig is not really for freshwater use? It is Cast and retrieved from a stationary boat rather than trolled at a given speed. I have 5 or 6.
