What about a tube plastic. Slip the weight in the front of the tube and T-rig it?
Also hello from a former Kansas guy. I used to live in Augusta for about 6 years.
I just got a bunch of 1/4 oz and 3/16 oz to try as well. The 1/2 oz jigs are by far my favorite as I can cast them a mile. I rigged a 1/4 oz jig with a rage craw today and set it up on my 7' MHF rod and was able to zig it out like a pro.
I am kinda excited to try some of these 1/4 oz jigs in the smaller ponds around here. May not hook some dingers but 1-2 pounders will suffice.
To each their own on the preferred method of kill. But how is making the OP feel like crap going to help anything? I seem to think all he or she was asking was what is your opinion on the method of dispatch not wether he should continue to fish
I have the same in Watermelon seed with green flake. I have tried them on a jig with no luck. I even tried them in the brush and weeds Texas rigged with a 1/2oz weight with no luck.
I did get a few fish, nothing major, by fishing it weightless Texas rigged off the top.
Thanks for the input. My first order from you guys was more of the same that have work for me around Kansas lakes in the past. My 2nd order should fit the dirty Oklahoma waters now.
I bit the bullet and placed a good size order of jigs from North Star. 3 days later I bought a lot of approx 20 from the flea market here. Getting ready to place another order from North Star next week
I think I need professional help! How many is too many?
I took my son fishing yesterday evening as we had some cooler temps and lots of cloud cover. He ended up catchin the only fish, a 11" small LM on a 5" Senko in JJ's.
Anyway I was running a black/chartreuse jig with a watermelon seed trailer. Not one single bite. On one of my casts I had just brought the jig out of the water and had a good size LM jump out of the water about 4" to try and grab the jig. He ended up hitting the craw but missed the hook.
Tried for about 20 minutes in that area with no luck. Never seen a bass let alone any fish do that.
I noticed that too with the off set hooks. I bend them flat to make them more weedless. They seem to last a bit longer.
In regards to the weed guard, I have to re bend it every once in awhile too.
