No doubt dark. However, i have had most luck with a dark jig (ie. Black, brown, purple, ect.) that has some small amounts of holographic material as well as a rattle. Rattles, of course, cause sound which will attract fish and cause vibrations in the water. The holographic material is what, however; will give your jig a little glimmer in the moonlight. This glimmer fluttering around will attract more fish than a regular dark jig.

it depends. i would. i like a lot of weight on my jigs and worms. but thats just me.

The jig rigs we use out in the ocean consist of a 6ft leader attached to your line that has 4-5 baitless lures/hooks usually wrapped with thread or yarn to simulate shrimp and are used to catch live bait. Smaller hooks are used for the smaller fish like sardines & anchovies and the larger can be used for smelt and even rock cod. The act of “jigging” involves letting some line out with the jigs and then moving your fishing pole up and down gradually to make the lures move. Once a fish “hits” you can either leave the rig down so you can catch others and fill up your line or reel it in and start the process over again. It’s a lot of fun!

jigs work very well usually in very sandy/rocky bottoms and if you bounce them off the bottom or against logs and gravel bass love that because it seems so realistic…you can use that Zoom Worm with that jig and you just have to experiment with what you have…try different heads with different jigs and one will be very productive…try different speeds of reeling in…you should try fast first then slow it down if that proves ineffective. you fish jigs quite similar to plastic worms…hope that helped and I hope you catch a massive bass!

It depends on many things. Spoons are always productive. If you are fishing a spinning bait using plastic grubs then use a opaque grub on cloudy days and a sparkle grub on sunny days. Ditto for murky and clear water. On hot days you will need a bait that will dive deep. Choose the same color scheme. Remember you are trying to mimic actual bait fish. Bait fish will change color to camouflage themselves for protection. Therefore, on cloudy days lose they the shine to hide in the murky water. On sunny days the reverse is true.

Start small, light line, drop to bottom, raise 1//4 inch at a time. Repeat.

River Smallmouth fishing is something I always would like to do.I would use no lighter than 1/8-ounce but no heavier than 3/8-ounce. I think 1/4-ounce is a good choice for all-around fishing.Oh and just to add on, I have had tremendously good luck on LARGEMOUTH with a 2″ BPS Spring Grub (Brownish looking with black flakes) rigged on a 1/4-ounce Jig Head. I’m sure the same would work very good on Smallmouth too.The lure is ONLY 2″ but is a very fat bait.

It’s seven-foot-ten-inches, Heavy power, moderate-fast action, rated fourteen to thirty-pound line, half to two ounce lures. You can use it for flippin”n pitchin’ jigs into heavy cover and also casting them a country mile.

I like using a pork frog for a trailer. I like a large one, like the Uncle Josh, Model 1.http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_15484____SearchResultsFish it kind of like you would a plastic worm. Let it fall to the bottom and then raise your rod to pull it up and then let it settle back while you reel in the slack.The trailer adds extra action and helps the jig fall more slowly. Most strikes occur as the jig settles back toward the bottom. Strikes may be light (as with a plastic worm). Pay attention for the slightest tap and watch the line for a twitch.If you feel a tap, or if you see a twitch in the line, set the hook!

I’ll be honest to tell ya that I have never seen something like that done here. We normally just use a cork/ float ( cajun thunders, cones, balls…) but nothing like a floating jig head. The closest thing I can think of would be a Pompano rig ( http://www.biminibayoutfitters.com/marflarigs.htm ) which uses small floats to keep the bait off the bottom. Maybe you hit on something fresh and new our way. See if you can make some and let us know how it works out for you. It would be interesting to know if these lures would work out as do the ear ball lures which are also used in walleye fishing. we use ‘em for Pompano fishing and Permit. I use ‘em for Snapper and Sea trout. A fresh water idea for a salt water concept…gotta love it. ~good luck catchin’

This is a great question. There are so many different styles of jigs on the market now. Arky jig and a football jig are my two choices. If you’re fishing wood or an area with lots of structure with snags of wood the Arky Jig will come thru the snags easier without getting snagged. I’ll work the Arky jig with my rod tip at the 10 o’clock possion to the 11 o’clock possion dropping the jig over each branch and back to the bottom. Remember to keep a little bow in your line and watch for your line to jump.Then there is the football jig. I use the football jig when i’m fishing rock or mud banks. I usually will drag the football jig by having my rod pointed towards the water 5 o’clock or 7 o’clock and sweep my rod tip. I usually work the football jig very slowly and even let the jig sit and shake my rod tip a little. This will cause the jig to stand up and look like a crawdad tring to defend its self. Watch your rod tip closely because sometimes you dont’ feel the bite as much as seeing your rod tip move. For trailers I will use pork if the water temp is 55 deg or colder on the Arky Jig. On the football jig I almost always use a grub trailer either a twin tail or a single tail yamamoto trailer. I’ve found when fishing a red mud bank or muddy water if I use a single tail yamamoto trailer with the curl of the trailer pointed down which moves more dirt, I’ll get more bites. I’ll use the twin tail trailers when i’m fishing rocks or swiming the jig. Since you’re buying your first Jigs I would recommend you buying the arky jig any brand name to start with. Go to your local tackle store and ask for the less expensive arky jigs they have. Stay with simple colors like all brown or all black. I will use black on dark days and muddy water conditions and brown on clear days with clear water. Remember to work the jig slowly and try to keep it moving. Shaking your rod tip will keep your jig looking like a crawdad defensive mode and an easy meal to a bass.You are on your way to catching larger bass. There is no doubt that the jig will catch larger bass and more of them then any other lure on the market today. After you have more confidence in your arky jigs go out and buy some football jigs and try them. Check out this site for your football jigs. http://www.berserkbaits.comThey will make home made jigs to your liking, I use their football jigs.I hope this helpsTight linesJohn

trailers actually affect the action of a jig quite alot.i never fish a jig w/out a trailer.trailers are sometimes needed to slow to fall of a jig,or give it a bigger profile.there a re many different types of trailers for a jig.i reccomend experiement with a few differnt types,and allways keep different ones in the tackle box.when worked the right way a trailer may look like a crawdad to a bass,which they love to eat.also u can tweak a jig,which i reccomend also
December 19th, 2010 at 10:48 pm
Weedless football headed jig.. Go with dark green/blue/black. those colors work well, thrown on a crawfish trailer and jig it through the structure. Dont be afraid to get hung up it happens. Also, fish it in structure near steep drop-offs, ill guarantee you get bites. Hold on to your shoulders!
December 20th, 2010 at 10:07 am
All good answers!Jig fishing is a way of or style used to fish!Styles of lure used to be jigged as in a jig,spoon or just a lure made to imitate a dieing fluttering bait fish!Way to jig a lure- drop lure down and lifting rod up and letting lure fall to look like a wounded or injured prey fish!To use a dropper rig and bounce”jig” off the bottom while anchored or drifting!Jigs can be trolled,cast n retieved,dropped and jigged but to jig fish can mean either of the 2 things I have mentioned!We jig a knocker or dropper rig for red snapper and groupers in deep water which is just bouncing”jigging” a bait.
December 20th, 2010 at 10:04 pm
it depends on what you fishing for if its a toothy type critter then you need wire or mono over 250lb just tie it using a grinner knot or you could use a snap link the thing with jigs is you dont really need a complicated trace just a heavy swivel and tie or crimp it onto your heavy mono or wire ps you have to crimp wire.

Not a chance of you getting that through security. You’ll either have to re-think not having checked bags or plan on buying equipment when you get to Costa Rica. You can’t even get fingernail clippers through customs.

A jig and some spinner baits are near cousins one it to work slow with little or no flash and one is to work faster to super speed with lots of flash and vibration!The skirted spinner has blades on it for flash but has a very basic jig body!Used as a finder or reaction bait too!The jig usually has no blade or blades on it and is used to target fish in specific cover or structure!exert you and I need to do some jig fishing together!

Hey BASSMASTER,You might find this link to Denny Brauer’s website very informative. As you probably well know, he is “THE King” of jig fishing. It will have almost every answer to jig fishing and any conditions you will be fishing for bass.http://brauerbass.com/articles.htmRock on!A rattling jig is very good in heavy cover to help fish locate the bait. A trailer with built in or applied scent can make a big difference too. I like Kick’n Bass. I’m old school about jig trailers and still use a Gene Larew salt craw with excellent results in my home lake. There are times a Zoom Salt chunk will find it’s way onto my hook. In cold water I think pork frogs work best.I could write way too much information on how I fish jigs and all of them work under the right conditions. But to keep from boring you with all that read this:http://bassresource.com/fishing/jig_fishing.htmland this:http://bassresource.com/fishing/jig_bass_fishing.htmlhttp://bassresource.com/fishing/jig_uses.htmlhttp://bassresource.com/fishing/jig_bass_fishing_tips.htmlhttp://bassresource.com/fishing/deep_water_jig_fishing.htmlTHIS ONE IS VERY GOOD!http://bassresource.com/fishing/bass_fishing_jigs.htmlhttp://bassresource.com/fishing/jig_fishing_for_bass.html

This is a bit of a strange question, since most marabou jigs are made with a round head. Some quick clarification is in order here…”Round Head” refers to the shape of the lead head on a jig. The most common shape is round, but they come in many other shapes, including flat head (these stand up), darter head (they are tapered to swim through the water), and football head (shaped like…well, a football…they stay on the bottom well and telegraph every rock, stick, and other object well)”Marabou” refers to a particular type of jig dressing that is somewhat ‘feather-like’ and breathes in the water, imitating a live minnow. Other jig dressings include bucktail (deer hair), and rubber bodied jigs (grubs, twister tails, etc)The best way to answer your question is like this…If fish are shy and you need to make a delicate presentation, it’s hard to beat a plain, round jig head with a minnow/leach/nightcrawler.If fish are a little more aggressive, or they are feeding on a larger bait (like in the fall), then using a marabou jig tipped with a minnow/leach/nightcrawler presents a larger bait that would be attractive to larger fish.Hope that helps

I tried the Football heads and found they catch more weeds than the regular Round heads or Arkie-style heads. However, the Footballs excel in rocky, light weed, situations- like places you usually find Smallmouth. My “go to” jig in thick, weedy, cover is “The Fang” (without the plastic thing-a-ma-bob) – http://www.lake-link.com/store/item.cfm?ProductID=122The hook on the Fang is already at a 45 degree angle so you don’t really need the “plastic locker” thingy. I usually use this as a trailer on the Fang, (which works well with the stand-up hook design)- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_90490____SearchResultsThe only problem with the Fang, (and many Jigs), is you have to replace the skirt with a70- 80 strand skirt- I pay a guy to make me skirts.
