I've used those shimano butterfly jigs out wide here before, they got smashed but after 5 drops at $15 a go and mack cuts them off it turns out to be damn expensive. There's alot toothy fish up here that love jigs! I tried them with a little bit of wire but no success. I still have a few eBay specials I put down for a bit of fun just don't expect to get em back

 Hi mate, 

 I think the term "butterfly" jig is used only by shimano for their flutter style jigs, if I am not wrong. So you must be referring to Shimano then. Essentially the butterfly jig has asymmetrical sides which accounts for the irregular flutter action.

Daiwa has similar style jigs called Sacrifice leaf.

Another good flutter style jig is Evergreen Caprice and their equivalent knock-off at cheaper price called Fanky. Just do a search in FW and you'll be able to see some pics. Alternatively, google 'em.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, that explains a bit for me. Any recommendations on sizes? I have a Jigging Master Ocean Devil overhead rod rated 100-225 grams.  Would I be better going the upper size or the smaller. I have seen some pretty big jigs that fish have taken from some of the photos on here but not sure on the size to weight ratio.

Jigs great for Perth, but astoothies increase in numbers as you go north, it can get expensive..........I lost heaps at the Monties and am very sad to say the bait boys did better....just gotta take more jigs next time!
