I bought floating jig heads from Maumee Tackle two years ago and I had no complaints about the hooks. I will say that the experience can be very frustrating and downright dangerous if you don't take proper precautions. There are spots in that river that you'll be standing in a foot of water and you take one step and you're swimming. If you go, be careful and don't go in expecting a limit. You may get one, but they're not the rule like they're rumored to be.
