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...

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 :-).
