Favorite Bass Jigs
 

Just wanted to get some input on peoples fav. jigs for catching bass......


color
rattle or no rattle
trailor
presentation
etc

I make my own,very cheap to buy everything you need. My favorite color is black n blue with a zoom speed craw trailer.

Dirty Jig (pitchin or casting)
PB&J
no rattle
Green Pumpkin purple Speed craw
pitchin, flippin, casting, fast retrieve then stop, draggin,

It kinda depends on the application. Are you fishing grass or wood? And what are the predominate size fish in the area you are fishing. Meaning if your fishing the Calcasieu River the average size fish is somewhere around 2lbs which dictates a smaller (physical size) jig, but if you are at toledo you would be more apt to throw a larger (physical size) jig. I buy bulk skirt material and make my own colors so that Im not throwing a color that anyone can just buy at the store. But as a rule dark colors for muddy water and natural (pumkin, watermellon, pb&j) colors for clear water.

I agree with all of this... time of year also determines action of jig... football or casting etc... I totally agree on size being a huge factor. I think he is just looking for a general favorite.

Fav jig

Black and blue 1/4 oz strike king with reflective skirt
with ratte
strike king trailors - black crawfish with blue bottom
throw it and if they dont hit it on the initial fall, bounce it few quick times and reel it in and repeat.

I normally use 1/2 oz in a color that resembles netbaits bamabug red, no rattle and a plastic trailer with color to match. If I want a slow fall (cooler water or muddy) i will use a trailer that is bulky with a lot of action (resistance). If I want a faster fall (clear or warm water) then I go with a trailer that has less resistance.

pb and j football jig
3/4 ounce zoom chunk trailer
rattle
draggin

evolution jigs, you can't beat them. Flourocarbon brush guards, ridges to hold on trailor, and they fall and stand up on the bottom perfectly.

I'd tell you my trailer, but I'm one of few who use it so I rather keep it a secret. But for black/blue jigs I like a sapphire color jig. Black/red or green/red jigs i usually throw watermelon red trailers with them. One trailer I don't mind mention is the paca craw trailers they are pretty neat and i hear the Y-not trailers are sweet too.

O and usually just flip and pitch, I don't do the swimming jig thing, eventhough I'm sure its productive.

bruise 1/4 oz thumper jig w/ #12 UJ trailor in the cold and Bruise or special K color, heavy jig w/ paca craw for punching the lilys and hydrilla.

Stanley Original 7/16 oz. black, blue and purple. #1 Uncle Josh pork frog.
