Andy Vallombroso has been tying jigs out of his Madison, Connecticut shop since 1981. He's widely recognized as one of the top jig tiers in the United States — his lures featured on Bassmaster TV, in The Fisherman, Bassin' Magazine, Bass Times, and more.
The breakthrough came at a Massachusetts boat show, where Andy handed Edwin Evers black synthetic hair jigs. Evers later used one of those E-Series Synthetic Jigs in black to win the 2015 Bassmaster Elite on the St. Lawrence River. That win turned into a partnership: Evers and Andy designed the E Series Finesse Jig together, specifically for the 2016 Bassmaster Classic — and on the final day at Grand Lake, Evers used it to sack 29 lbs 3 oz and lift the trophy.
Andy SCUBA-dove to study why synthetic-hair jigs work the way they do underwater. What he learned in those dives shaped every jig that followed.
Bear hair, Arctic black fox, rabbit, synthetic hair, and Andy's signature flat-cut living rubber — one of the only shops still producing the original flat-rubber recipe.
Andy started fishing tournaments in 1979 and has won numerous events across the USA. Every jig design started as a tool he built to give himself an edge — that's why the pros trust them.
Andy and his small team tie every jig by hand in Madison, CT. No factories, no automation. The same way it's been done since 1981.
Three decades of tournament victories on Andy's hand-tied jigs. The pros tie them on when there's a check on the line — and when the cameras are rolling.

The pros keep tying the same skirt material on, year after year, because it still moves water like nothing else.
