Jigs

Hey all, I just wanted to get everyones input on the brand of jig they
throw and why? I throw Strike King pro model jigs, I mainly went with
them because they were designed by Denny Brauer, and I kind of idolize
him. One issue I have with the Pro Model Elite jig is the double
chamber rattle comes off very easily. Every single jig I have used, I
have lost the rattle on after about 10 or 12 pitches. Wether it is
getting caught in rocks, or whatever, I think this is pretty low quality.

Another type of jig that I use, and really love is the All-Terrain
tackle swim jig. Very awesome head design, and it slips through cover
very nice.

I love the hook on the pro-model elite, also the brush guard is great,
and with a little cosmetic surgery the skirts perform. One other little
issue, that isn't quite so important is the paint on the head chips
pretty easy. Then again I put those jigs through hell and back. (Who
doesn't if they are fishing them right :-) ).

Thanks for your input guys!

If anyone wants to do a brand swap just email me and I will send a
couple of what I use if you do the same.

(just drop the obvious to email me)

I was using Strike King Bitsy Bugs but I have started buying Cobra Jigs
from Jann's Netcraft, I glue in the weed guard, paint them with finger
nail polish and add the skirts.. They work pretty good and are
economical...

I thought you converted to Dave's hair jigs?

Best I've ever seen or used is Terry Oldham's "EyeMax" jig.

If you can get a friend, or foe for that matter, to bet his hair in a
fishing duel. Be sure to win.

The hair ties many fine jigs and nothing can compare to the feeling of
landing a bass with your friends hair.

Trust me on this. You will fish these with such meticulous skill,
because you really want to catch a bass on them, that it will make you a
better jig fisherman.


I have been using hand tied jigs from my local mom/pop bait store.

Hah, I wish it were that easy all the time. I have to tell you I have
caught more fish on Texas craw than Black/Blue, but our water goes from
4ft to 2" vis regularly. I just haven't run into enough instances where
I feel confident the fish could see black/blue better than texas craw.

I always have a black/blue tied on though, usually in a smaller size.
It is a great changeup :-).
