Definitely try to get the jig in your arsenal... There really isn't a time when I'm out on the water and a jig isn't tied on at least one of my rods... Besides there being multiple different kinds of jigs for specific types of fishing whether it's a swim jig, football jig, flipping jig, etc. you can really personalize your jig presentation which is probably one of the main reasons why I'm so attracted to them. That and that they flat out catch fish once you know what you're doing with them.. It wasn't to long ago before Shane taught me the ins and outs of jig fishing and it boosted my fishing skill and IQ a lot! As soon as you tie a jig on the window is wide open, selecting your trailer and or trailer color and then going as far as adding some JJs gives you the angler the power to be as creative as you want.
Caught my PB on this jig - Outkast RTX w/ caffeine shad as trailer
V&M Pacemaker swim jig w/ Rage Tail Shellcracker as the trailer
Other jigs with some Rages on the back
And like Mainebass was saying cranks can be a good bait to add too... Last year was my first year seriously fishing a crank and boy it was fun, had some really fun days with largemouth and smallmouth ~ same with jigs of course
