About Jet Wing, LLC.

A Word from Dan Griffin, Jet Wing Inventor

I love to fish. Fresh water or salt water. I have been boating since I was twelve years old. I was raised on an island in Georgia St. Simmons, lived in Key West at an early age, and then moved to Brownsville, Texas. Growing up surrounded by such fantastic waters was a big part of my upbringing right up until I joined the Army. In 1978 I met my wife Dolly, and we both served in the United States Army.

We were married in 1980. We moved to Bloomsburg, PA on the Susquehanna River when I was discharged in 1987. What a great place to live, boat and fish! In 1991 we started J & J Tackle named after our two kids, John and Jennifer. At the tackle shop I sold boats and motors and I got my first Jet drive– a 16 ft. Lund with a 50/35 Yamaha. That got me thinking about boat control.

I sold that boat which still runs the river here today. In 2009 I purchased an Alumnacraft 40 Mercury boat from a fellow boater named Doug, who became a great friend of mine. Once again, the wheels started turning on how I could improve control of the boat. Believe it or not, it was something I lost a lot of sleep over.

Laying in bed one night thinking about my next trip out on the river, I realized at 4:30 a.m. the idea had finally come to me. I KNEW where to make the mount. I KNEW I had the design. I had been playing with another design but this one made so much more sense. I got up right then and there and got to work. I made it with materials I had put on my boat and took it out for a test run. It worked. It worked well the first time out. I continued to test the product and got consistent results. I HAD it!

I know you will have the same success that I have had. I am sure you will agree with so many happy customers that tell me time and time again that the JET WING has changed their steering control and made operation of their boats easier and more productive. Time is no longer wasted trying to maneuver, leaving more time for the important things-like more fishing! Happily I can also report that boat rescue teams are also reporting how impressed they are while using the JET WING.

I know you will be happy with your JET WING. If you have any questions or would like to talk shop, feel free to drop me a line. I look forward to hearing from you. Happy boating and be safe.

Lance Dunham - Susquehanna Fishing Guide, Outddor Writer, &
JetWing Pro Staffer

We not only have very low water now which has made for some tricky river navigating but we also have had some cool nights which has knocked down most of the algae bloom making the river clear. Now when you’re going 40mph in four inches of water you don’t always like to look down and see clearly the river rocks that could just ruin your whole day in a split second! … [read more]

Kay & Ernie Normandin - Berwick, PA

Kay has her own boat with a Jet Drive. Now that she has a "Jet Wing " she finds it much easer to dock and load the boat. Thanks!

Robert Brymus - Bobs Bugs & Rod Repair

"My name is Robert Brymus. I am the owner of Bobs Bugs & Rod Repair. I have had 4 jet driven boats from 1984 to present. I have always had problems steering at low speeds until now. The "Jet Wing" has changed the performance of steering at least 90 to 95%. The handling of the boat at slow speed is incredible. Thank you "Jet Wing" for making this possible."

The Jetwing definitely improves the performance of jet outboards. Slow speed control is much better, you can keep the boat going in a straight line much easier. Loading onto the trailer, the extra control helps. One thing that I noticed with my rig is that I feel I have better turning capabilities on plane. Anything that helps maneuverability when dodging rocks and running obstacles is a major plus in my book.

Mike Hinkel - NJ

"There was no way I was going to catch this Lake Ontario, 20 pound, 6 ounce Altlantic Salmon without the Jet Wing. I was totally impressed by it's ability to control my boat at 2.0-3.5 mph trolling speeds. Awesome product!!"

Doug Housenick - Danville, PA

I have known Dan Griffin for about 3 years. As a matter of fact, the boat you see when he is demonstrating the Jet Wing used to be mine. Dan and I met about five years ago at a boat launch where I was having an awful time getting my boat on the trailor. Dan offered to help me but being a stubborn fisherman I declined his offer. After minutes of frustration and failure, I gave in and went back to Dan for help. With his help the boat was on the trailor in no time. Two years later poor health forced me to sell the boat.

Tony Wojchehoski - Selinsgrove, PA

I tried it out and am happy to announce that this thing seems to work real well. I didn't have time to really test it out but the little I did, it works like a dream.. I have the 60/40 mercy jet and I went up river full bore and turned the tiller loose and she stayed as straight as could be and then I slowed it down and was very pleased to find that I can actually steer my boat onto the trailer almost like a prop motor.. so it seems like you've got something here..

The Bloomsburg Fire Department Water Rescue Team

The Bloomsburg Fire Department Water Rescue Team gives the Jet Wing a thumbs up on their 150 hp Evenrude.

Bruce Ulrich - Middleburg
Owner - TimberTall Industries

I really liked the Jetwing. I could not believe how the boat ran slow without hardly any steering of the boat. Also how it went right on the trailer. I also found that at high speed the Jetwing helped turn the boat better, holding the boat firm in the turn.

Chris & Randy Parker - Bloomsburg

My son and I are very happy with the performance of the boat after installing the Jet Wing. Randy, who has lost his legs and is considered legally blind, can now drive the boat onto the trailer for me with ease. Without the Jet Wing, he had to do several attempts. We recommend the Jet Wing for anyone with a Jet Drive to give better steering control of their boat.
