Best value in jigs 2025


fishing user avatarChris at Tech reply : 

I'm trying to force myself to start using jigs more often.  Which means I need to buy some jigs ;)

To start out, I've bought Booyah's mostly because I can get them easily.  However, I'm sure there's a wealth of smaller companies out there that make fine products.  

Anyone have any input on jigs that are of a good value?  When you're buying jigs in quantities, a quarter per jig could results in decent savings.

Thanks

my mistake. I think I misunderstood your meaning of "value". Jigs are not all equal, some are far more effective than others. To me, "value' means improving the chances of a bite from a BIG bass, hooking up and landing the fish.

Fair enough...

As I was writing the original post, the thought did cross my mind that is could be ambiguous.  But I was lazy and left it as is :o

But to be clear, I'm looking for high quality jigs (good color selection, good components, etc) at good prices.


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

Well, for $2.99 you should take a CLOSE look at earthworm77's jigs.

They say, "The devil's in the details," and Craig pays attention to details.


fishing user avatarRaul reply : 

Jigs are one of the very few things I 'm cheap with, I purchase Uncle Buck 's and Enticers from BPS, reason why I 'm cheap with jigs ? well, I don 't remember actually returning to the T-box at the end of a day, I normally loose them ..... many in the first cast  >;). Buuuuuut, ya know what they say, "if you ain 't fishing them when they can get hung up then you ain 't fishin 'em where the bass are".


fishing user avatarfourbizz reply : 

I haven't bought a jig from anywhere besides D&M Customs for the last year.

I fish mostly football heads and their's with an ultra sharp gammie is $1.99. Their flipping jigs are only 2.50 and are plenty sweet too.

Also the only buzzbaits and spinnerbaits I use anymore.


fishing user avatarradman reply : 

Your fishing a really good jig already, with the booyah. they have some really good prices on the web page lurenet.com, under internet specials.


fishing user avatarguest reply : 

Our very own G MAN made me some very VERY GOOD jigs this year, contact him you will not be disapointed 8-)


fishing user avatarCatt reply : 

Oldham's Screw-Lock Jigs with Gamakatsu hooks $2.99 for a pack of 2 but like Raul I've catch hundreds of bass on Wal-Mart Renegade Jigs.

X2 to what roadwarrior said, but I must admit, I'm a little partial.

Craigs jigs are top quality and you'll be hard pressed to find a better performing skirt. They flare and act unlike any I've ever used.


fishing user avatarJake. reply : 

Eakins Finesse Jigs.

The 5/16 oz. size are fish catching machines, and only 6 bucks for a 3 pack.


fishing user avatarHookMaster reply : 

Eakins all the way!  3 jigs for a little over $5.00 and they are really good jigs.


fishing user avatarJeff H reply : 

GMAN's Poison Tails are the frickin' bomb!  


fishing user avatarDavid P reply : 

I refuse to fish a jig that's not hand tied, with a round rubber skirt, therefor, I only fish hand tied jigs.  The rubber band crap just doesn't cut it.


fishing user avatarmike bat reply : 

ive been lookin at skinny bear jigs ..... just for what broke was sayin ... altho not sure skinny bear are hand tied .... they are tied with wire ..... they look like a sweet jig ....


fishing user avatarfourbizz reply : 

When I order my jigs, it is usually 20 or 30 at a time. they are banded.

when they show up i sit down in front of the tv with some 65lb braid, superglue, and some fingernail clippers.

wrap the braid around the skirt 3 or 4 times just ahead of the band

tie two overhand knots

drop of superglue

clip the band

clip the tags

Hey,

Brokejew, check out the bedbug from booyah. handtied jig with live rubber. Really a good looking jig.


fishing user avatarBassFishingMachine reply :  http://www.sunrizetackle.com/shop/closeout_body.htm How you going to sell jigs and not have the color black/blue?? Man.. what are these people thinking, thats like selling softbaits and not having the color greenpumpkin, this shows me I should get into the marketing buisiness, I'd probably make a fortune ;).
fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

It's a "closeout sale."  

They probably don't need "inventory reduction" for black & blue jigs.

In the clearer water, the olive/copper is just crazy. It's been a "New England" bait for a while.


fishing user avatarSiebert Outdoors reply : 

I buy componets not jigs so I cant help ya out on best bang for the buck.  There are alot of good jigs out there and alot of over priced jigs.

Wire tie are the best by far.  

Thanks for the good words guys.

I alerted this board to that sale last year when it first started. All told between me and three of my buddies we ordered over 2,000 jigs :o. They are just down to the dregs of their inventory now, but when they started the sale they had TONS of colors and sizes available because they decided to stop making jigs. @ 17cents a piece for most of them, I consider them throwaway jigs. Good quality anyway, but i much prefer a football so I use the D&M's. I still have about 300 jigs in 1/4 oz brown/orange and brown/red and a couple hundred assorted other colors/sizes/styles.


fishing user avatarShadcranker reply : 

Best price on finesse jigs is the Sk Bitsy Flip for about $1.79 each. I catch a ton on it (Watermelon and straight black are my favorites).

For value, try Tournament Force Tackle. These are semi-custom jigs with great components. You can pick the weight, style, colors, etc.

www.tfbass.com

For super high quality finesse jigs, try the Jewel Eakins Finesse Jigs in 5/16 and 7/16 size.

For football jigs, I like the Jewel Mike McClelland design in 1/2 oz and 3/4 oz (the ones with the fiber weedguards).

Another favorite flippin jig is the Oldham's trailer Hitch in 3/8 and 1/2 oz.

For punching the mats in Summer, I really like the Scott Martin Grassmaster and Choo-Choo Jigs.

I consider them all to be good value b/c they are high quality with excellent components.
