Run Off Lure Company
I heard about Run-Off jigs from OTW contributor Chris Shoplock, the Fishing Department Manager at Harry’s Army Navy in Robbinsville, NJ, who mentioned them as the hot fluke lure week after week during phone calls for the OTW Fishing Forecast. I’d never heard of them before, but when I did a quick search, I turned up the website of Captain Pete Meyers. Pete owns the Run Off Charters, fishing out of City Island, NY on his 25-foot Parker.
From his experience on the water, Pete began crafting his own line of lures in the Run Off Lure Company. Pete specializes in jigs and spoons, making a wide variety from big Norwegian-style jigs for cod to smaller jigging spoons for fluke and sea bass. One of the more popular styles is the Run-Off Fish Head Jig which comes has a large reflective eye and a spinnerbait blade for extra flutter and flash.
Some of the swing-hook fluke jigs are also very popular and very effective for these flatfish while tipped with Berkley Gulp or bait. I especially liked the “shrimp-style” fluke jigs when I fished them this summer.

I bought several of Runoff’s tautog jigs as well as some their 1 oz swing-hook jigs (all in green orange color) last Feb at the NE fishing show in Providence.
Though perhaps the swing-hoook jigs are supposed to be for fluke I have had great success with them for tautog this fall in Buzzards Bay. While the Upperman style jigs are fine, I found the hook up ratio was much better with the hook that swings on the split ring. Not sure why, but the improvement was noticeable. I did notice the hook dulled fairly quickly (from the fish or the rocks) so put a Siwash style VMC extra strong hook. That plus half a green crab equals a hook up. And all fish are hooked in corner of mouth. Easy to release for all short fish.
