Jigs
Hey all, I just wanted to get everyones input on the brand of jig they
throw and why? I throw Strike King pro model jigs, I mainly went with
them because they were designed by Denny Brauer, and I kind of idolize
him. One issue I have with the Pro Model Elite jig is the double
chamber rattle comes off very easily. Every single jig I have used, I
have lost the rattle on after about 10 or 12 pitches. Wether it is
getting caught in rocks, or whatever, I think this is pretty low quality.Another type of jig that I use, and really love is the All-Terrain
tackle swim jig. Very awesome head design, and it slips through cover
very nice. I love the hook on the pro-model elite, also the brush guard is great,
and with a little cosmetic surgery the skirts perform. One other little
issue, that isn't quite so important is the paint on the head chips
pretty easy. Then again I put those jigs through hell and back. (Who
doesn't if they are fishing them right :-) ). Thanks for your input guys! Chris If anyone wants to do a brand swap just email me and I will send a
couple of what I use if you do the same. (just drop the obvious to email me) |

| I was using Strike King Bitsy Bugs but I have started buying Cobra Jigs
from Jann's Netcraft, I glue in the weed guard, paint them with finger
nail polish and add the skirts.. They work pretty good and are
economical... |

| If you can get a friend, or foe for that matter, to bet his hair in a
fishing duel. Be sure to win. The hair ties many fine jigs and nothing can compare to the feeling of
landing a bass with your friends hair. Trust me on this. You will fish these with such meticulous skill,
because you really want to catch a bass on them, that it will make you a
better jig fisherman. I have been using hand tied jigs from my local mom/pop bait store. Dave V |

| Hah, I wish it were that easy all the time. I have to tell you I have
caught more fish on Texas craw than Black/Blue, but our water goes from
4ft to 2" vis regularly. I just haven't run into enough instances where
I feel confident the fish could see black/blue better than texas craw. I always have a black/blue tied on though, usually in a smaller size.
It is a great changeup :-). Chris |

| Sounds like you need to talk to Denny about the quality of the jigs he
designs..
I am not too fond of Strike Kings products, they don't seem to hold up
very well..JMO |

| I can't dispute that fact. The Mustad Ultra point hooks are sweet, and
the brush guard is tough (all are, for the most part). The rattle thing
really bothers me. But I can't stand the rattles that you slide up on
the hook , and then they hang down with the skirt. It is one more thing
to get in the way. I am guessing they use some adhesive to hold the
rattle in that area, maybe I can add more adhesive beforehand. Oh well, maybe I will find a few more jigs and try those as well. ISG
makes a Scorpion jig I believe that looks pretty sweet. I will possibly
try those. thanks for the input. Chris |

theirs out. |
