You sold me on the swing head jig and the 420 California Craw a while back. I love it. Have not had much success with the hula grub but I’ll try it on a 1/2 ounce jig. Always great stuff. Thanks
@@fishden365 mostly 15-20 feet and definitely on rock piles. I have not caught anything on it yet this year but I thought that it might be too early and fish are hiding in grass; but you certainly know better than me. I have given it a shot every time I go out ( usually twice a week). Hopefully it picks up. What about you this year on the swing head?
depends on water clarity. If stained I use 20 or 30 lb braid with 15 or 20 pound fluoro leader. From there the clearer the water the light lines I use.
I wish I had remembered the bottom of the three lakes I do 90% of my bass fishing 100% from shore are almost entirely soft bottoms covered in thick silt and mud with very little rock or hard bottom Because I went out and bought well over $150 in jigs and jig trailers only to discover Id be dragging my jigs through a thick mud lake bottom which is not that productive of a presentation for jigs I made five solid dedicated all day trips to my most fished lakes to learn how to jig fish Each time it was the same three hours of jig fishing no bites jigs come back covered in bottom slime Tried greenpumpkin, Watermelon, black blue jigs 1/4oz, 5/16oz, 3/8oz and 1/2oz Then switch to any weedless soft plastic fluke or swimbait worked as a jerk bait or a bladeded jig in sane exact areas and murder the bass Bottom dragging Jigs just dont work in my thickly muddied bottom lakes closest to my home and skipping them off the bottom is ok but I catch a lot more bass using a weedless fluke worked as a jerk bait Some lakes just aren't made for bottom dragging or hopping jigs my lakes are just such lakes Im sure if I owned a boat I could find offshore areas in the lakes I fish, jigs would be very productive in but unfortunately I do not own a boat. I envy those that do
There are other types of jigs. If your body of water has fallen trees or brushpiles, an arkie style jig works well there. I have weeds then a cone shaped jig should get the nod. Swimming jigs are another option.
