Hi guys,

This year I have decided to actually use a jig and need some good sound jigs to use. What are your favs and wich ones do you hate. I currently have a couple of spot stalker jigs in 1/8 and 1/4 ounce. Thanks.

llPa1nll reply :

I personally like the Lunker lure jigs. Nice head design, heavy duty gammy hook, turned line tie. Great Jigs, I have been thinking of pouring my own though.

FishTank reply :

I like Booyah Jigs. They're simple and not to expensive.

If I had to pick one I don't like, I would pick Stanley Jigs. I never had any luck with the ones I bought. They all fell apart and they paint came off just after the first cast.

I'll second that. ;D They make awesome swim jigs as well. Here is a pic of a poisontail jig.

Evan Pease reply :

I prefer a Strike King Pro Model. If you dont likt th rattle their others are good as well. As far as durability 90% of my 4lbers and up have been on one.

I don't know why, but a lot of my big fish have too :-?

Probably just right place, right time.

Since I have gone over too Terminator Pro Top Secret jigs.

I make most of my own jigs, but the only factory ones I use anymore are War Eagles. By far the best quality factory jig I've used.

Terminator Finesse

Terminator Pro Top Secret

Stanley

Evolution

Strike King

Have all caught on those...

A jig is only as good as the rod being used. Something with backbone and a fast tip.

tfisherman reply :

I use to use Stanley jigs, they were .99 cents

But like everything all jigs went through the roof and it's hard to find a cheap jig... Thanks Denny!!

I use Booyah and Bitsy Bug only because they're the cheapest, and they work great!

SuthernProg reply :

For finesse jigs I like Booyah's Boo Bug and Jewels Spider Jig. My new flipping jig is a Dave's Tournament Tackle King Sling with a Net Bait Paca Chunk trailer.

RoLo reply :

It would be great if there were one jig for all occasions, but it doesn't work like that.

The answer hinges on "where" it's used (open water - around rocks - dense weeds - in current)

The "trailer" also has a bearing on jig style (plastic craw, plastic worm, dead minnow - swimbait - trailerless)

Finally the jig may vary according to "delivery" (hopping, swimming, crawling, shaky head, etc)

Mid-MO reply :

I throw mainly Strike King. I really like the colors, the head shape, and the hook. Biggest knock on them is durability - eyes and paint don't always last and the rattle almost always breaks off (which annoys me to no end).

I starting using some Omega jigs last year. Haven't got to use them much but so far so good. Head shape is a lot different than Strike King and their rattles appear to be more durable. They are pretty popular in my area.

I'll also use some Eakins jigs at times (especially the heavy cover jigs) and started making my own last winter - which went pretty well this past year.

Paul Roberts reply :

Here are some basics:

Basic controls are depth and speed. You control them by jig weight, line diameter, and trailer bulk/buoyancy. Start with proper line diam for the given situation (depth, clarity, and cover, mostly). Then decide how deep and how fast or slow you need the jig to run at. This will take some experience as there are many permutations possible. Want to slow a given combination down or speed it up? Add a bulky trailer, or trim it down.

Choose a head style for the cover you are fishing: Cone-shape for weeds, bulbous (Arky) for wood, football for rock.

Choose a hook matched to your line strength. Don't go Flippin with 50# braid with a light wire hook. Don't try to stick a big bass with a heavy iron on 8# mono.

Choose a color that either mimics (imitation is impossible) prey, usually fish or crayfish. Or, just choose one you LOVE and fish it with confidence.

Needemp reply :

I would check out Harshmans. He can custom make jigs for ya. He has several jig head styles, quality hooks and he can make specific colors that you like. Good quality jigs. I won my club classic with them. www.harshmancustombaits.com

Jeff H reply :

GMAN is my jig connection. He's got nice jigs available for good prices.

Tpayneful reply :

My favorite is the 1/4oz Strike King Bitsy Flip jig. They are cheep and readily available. Do not get the Bitsy Bug because the weedguard has half of the fibers of the Flip jig. I catch a lot of fish on this jig and caught a lot of 4lb+ bass on them early last year.

Karu's stuff is pretty good if you are just starting out with jigs.

So are you implying that Karu Jigs are for beginners. Totally custom jigs with the best quality products available. If you can think it. He can make it. Doesn't sound beginner to me.

The Next KVD reply :

I make my own jigs except for footballs which I use Chompers for!

flippin reply :

buckeye baits makes a great jig

Paul Roberts reply :

I really like the Mango jig by Nichols.

jdw174 reply :

Everybody has their own ideas, so here's mine. You'd be hard pressed to find a better jig on the market than Bass Stalker Jigs. You can find them on the Uncle Josh home page.

I said the same thing to myself last year and bought a handful of 1/4oz Bitsy Bugs (less than $2 each at Wal Mart). They caught me enough fish, including my PB, that they're now my go to bait.

The one thing I don't like about these jigs is, when to have to retie that knot it is a pain in the butt. :'(
