I'v always been a fan of the All terrain tackle jig line up and always always rage tail for a trailer. Though this year the little fishing I got to do I pretty much threw exclusively a custom jig and of coarse a rage craw for a trailer.

Bankbeater reply :

I use a lot of Booyah and Strike King jigs. This time of year I will add a Zoom Super Chunk as a trailer.

Vinny Chase reply :

NorthStar Flip & Swim is the most versitile bait on the market because he can flip it into heavy cover or swim the jig in deeper water without missing a beat. I like to pair this with a Big Hammer swimbait or Paca Craw

NorthStar Black Series is another one of my favorites and I like to throw a pit chunk on them.

And finally it is hard to beard a NorthStar hair jig in the colder seasons tipped with a zoom chunk

WHY ARE YOU YELLING?

I've been using Northstar jigs for a few years and highlyrecommend them. As far as trailers, I've used Ragecraws this year as recommended by the guys here and haven't been disappointed. For swimjigs I like Poorboys Kickin' Darters, Kietech Impact, and Big Bite baits Cane Thumper. The Cane Thumper lasts longer than than Kickin' Darter. Keitech are awfully expensive but do work well

LOL. KDW96 First of all welcome to BassResource. Just an FYI When you type in all caps on a social forum it means you are yelling. Not to mention it's hard to read.

P.S. I don't know you will enough yet to throw out some "old guy" jokes but there are a few rolling around in my head. Long Mike is on the receiving end of a lot of them.

LgMouthGambler reply :

Gambler Jig and Ugly Otter trail.

deep reply :

Casting Gear: Backwater4 custom, rage craw/ lobster

Spinning Gear: Booyah Baby Boo. rage baby craw/ craw

I ordered some Siebert Outdoors jig, because I never tried them before. I'll see how they are. I'm all for supporting our sponsors, provided they make a comparable product, at a competitive price.

KDW96 reply :

Thank for the info. I will try to do better. Buy the way-i can take a joke or ribbing any time

Good luck fishin...................................

The Rooster reply :

I don't have much experience with jigs but the local tackle places here sell one that seems pretty good for about $2 each. They are sold under the name D & L Tackle. I've stocked up on those. I use Netbait Baby Paca Craws and Paca chunks for trailers. What little I've thrown a jig, I've been successful every time using this.

Sun Fish reply :

Moaner Hooks Predator Jig + Rage Craw

Jake P reply :

Northstar jig and rage craw or menace. I also like pit chunks for trailers when flipping. Just to name a few that is.

msolorio reply :

Imo its very hard to beat a brown fine living rubber jig and a Yamamoto double tail. Been dynamite for me on every lake I've fished all year. Keep it simple, keep it subtle, keep it natural.

NMarotta28 reply :

Thank you guys !! Any advice for colors? I fish mainly rocky resevoiurs (Unfortunately OffShore).. I need something that won't snag up to easily on rocks and that will get the fish to smash it!! I try and do the best I can because I dont have the funds to purchase a boat. What is the best weight to use? 1/4 oz? I use a SkeetReese Football Head Rod (7'2) with a Shimano Caenan reel with 20 lb braid. What is the best way to fish a jig in a rez? Hop it off the bottom ? Sorry for all the questions I am new and looking to improve!!

Thanks for everything,

Nick.

msolorio reply :

You cant go wrong with a straight brown jig. Like I said I've caught fish, and good fish in every lake I've fished this year on a plain brown jig with a Yamamoto twin tail grub for a trailer. You dont have to have 10 different colors to catch fish thats unnecessary. Keep it simple, keep it subtle, keep it natural. As for jig heads themselves, if your fishing rock, your going to get hung up, there's no avoiding it. You have to slowly creep that jig over and through rocks the best you can. 99.9% of the time im throwin a 1/2 ounce jig. Perfect all around weight imo. They're not a sponsor here but check out californiareservoirlures.com the best jigs on the market hands down. I'm sure Johnny will have something you like.

you certainly have the right gear for jigs. For rocks I throw a football head 100% of the time. Go to the video section at the top of the page and click how to videos. Good luck!

I don't ever trim my NorthStar skirts. I feel like they are already a perfect length for me, but there are some other jigs I have used where I needed to trim them a bit to allow my trailer to move.

Trimming jig skirts are sometime necessary for a variety of reasons.

Adjust the bulk or profile as needed by thinning or reducing skirt length to create a more compact presentation or to increase fall rates. Also trimming the skirt length to make the jig trailer more obvious or provide more water flow for the possibility of more action.

The shortest that I would ever trim a skirt is 1/4" longer than the hook bend and that is for COMPACT presentations. I often leave the jig skirts as is, because I'd rather adjust my trailer choices, lengths etc to achieve the profile desired and maintain great action.
