Bass Jigs

[TonkaBass]

Pretty soon 4 pounders wont be good enough! I'm planning on fishing this with Nate Champ...

[TonkaBass]

The limit is 6 fish this year...

[champion198elite]

yeah the limit is 6 this year. Its gonna be a great tourney. Cecil, you can find a partner by mid April cant ya?? Get the "Red Shorted" fella to partner up.

[Cecil]

He's afraid of the river And I prob should save my money for other tournaments... Although that is a fun one!

[champion198elite]

I guess you could always have him wear his red skirt then!! j/k DD. Well, we'd love to see more folks from the metro come down and get into this tourney but I know what your saying.

[Deitz Dittrich]

Joe "Red Shorts" no likey the river.. Joe "Red Shorts" no likey donating monies to other dudes with fancy boats either. ;-)

[champion198elite]

Speaking of "fancy boats" how's the cat running? If and when I sell my Champ, it's gonna be replaced with a Puma or Cougar ftd!! I love those boats.

[Deitz Dittrich]

Puma is sleeping right now.. getting all rested up for the warm days.. Still getting the hang of letting her loose at WOT.. but for how little I do that, its all good..

My fav jig

[TonkaBass]

oh no! Looks like an owner deep throat to me! Nice jig! I also love the Skinny Bear which also has a deep throat, but comes with a mix of living rubber and silicone skirt... (but stay away from their soft plastic, my secret)

[Wayne Ek]

Almost always Strike King for me. Mainly BFJ38, PPJ12 and TDJ12.

And the new TGSJ516 this year. In dock talk that means I will be using the Bitsy Flip Jig in 1/2 and 3/8, Premier Pro-Model Jig in 1/2, Tour Grade Football Jig in 1/2 and the new Tour Grade Swim Jig in 5/16.

I love that hook, I rarely loose fish with these jigs, even when you have one of those not so good hooksets. Ohhh and you don't have to worry about me and there plastics, I pour my own, and tend to use those exclusively.

[champion198elite]

Those deep throat's are a great hook BUT, they are next to impossible to sharpen because they are so hard. IMOP, but what do I know.

The owners with the cutting edge are not made to be sharpened. If one gets dull, which takes a lot, you should just replace it...

[river rat316]

Thats what a weedguard is for, I won't fish a cutting point hook if the point is exposed. Only on jigs and t rig plastics. They don't roll as easy as a gammie though, I won't use those period.

[East Rush Rules]

Im going to be trying the Atomic Tackle Company's jigs this year. Custom made to the color you want(quality materials used) and made locally. Can't wait to try them out!

[Sportland_Bait]

OutKast, OutKast, OutKast. Awesome jigs period!

[Chris519]

I have a mix of jigs. I just orderd several Outkast RT jigs.

Everyone talks about the head design of a jig. That is good. For me, I prefer a big hook with the longest shank I can find. Picasso used to make a good jig but I can't find the same kind anymore so I started ordering the RT jigs. Plus, I bought a few hundred of their stick baits and Mike gave me a nice discount since I give him big orders during the holidays...They are one of the few places where I can order bags of 100.

I also like the jungle jigs. There are a lot of nice jigs out there.

[mozy]

I like Revenge jigs. They have great paint jobs and their bluegill pattern is the best I've seen. I also use Pepper Jigs when I can find them.

[walleye365]

outkast and northstar, outkast sunfish and black/blue. im goin to try northstars this year in molting craw and hotcraw see what happens.

[Craigums]

My fav jig

these look nice river rat, can you make some using the same hook but using a "grass" style jig head and the non-attached rattles that similar to what northland uses?

[river rat316]

Thats the rattles that are on them but they are not in the pic (one more thing to worry about being straight for the pic) As far as the grass jig style, I had a prototype out to my mold maker but he apperently decided to quit making molds and not answer emails anymore, so now I have to make anew prototype and find a new mold guy So for now I have resorted to a stock mold that uses the same hook.
