If you've ever wondered about jig-fishing, keep reading. Jigs can be heavy lures, with lead heads attached to hooks. The length and type of bait that you are using will affect the hook's length. For clear water, black or brown heads work well. Colorful heads work better in murky waters.
Grass jig fishing
Traditional jigs still work well for bass fishing but anglers can now turn to swimbaits as a way to attract them. A weightless jig is able to cover a lot of water quickly, and give a realistic look for the baitfish. A swimbait like the Googan Squad Grass Hero can glide easily through slop while also piercing thick vegetation in fall. It is ideal for fishing in weedy areas because of its paddle tail trailer design and slim head.
Football jig fishing
A football jig is well-known for its versatility and action. The football's unique structure lends movement to Rage Craw, a baitfish which resembles a crawling animal. This causes crawfish pincers to move into defensive mode, triggering a reaction strike. This jig allows fish to feel everything and triggers reaction strikes.
Flipping jig fishing
Flipping the jig is a new lure type that you might consider. This is a great method for fishing in dense brush or heavy debris. You can adjust the weight of your bait to different depths. These range from inches to feet. For a better chance of hooking a fish choose a heavier weight jig. Flipping jigs offer a great hook up ratio and can be fished with many different types cover.
Grass jigs
For jig fishing in grassy areas, grass jerkbaits can be a popular choice. They're designed to slip through vegetation easier than other jigs. A grass jig's head has a cone-shaped shape with the eye located at the top. The shape of grass jerkbaits allows them to penetrate the vegetation without being hung.
Flipping jigs
Many flipping and spinning jigs feature chip-resistant heads. These can be very useful in areas where bait is more likely to strike hard rocks or sand. Stand-up flipping tools, on other hand, sit on top of the water and give the appearance that crayfish are to passing bass. It is crucial to use a heavy-duty hook. A head with aerodynamics will reflect the cover and encourage weedless presentation.
