Your favorite SMALL Jig&Pig combo?

[Bass_Akwards]

Guys, water is cold.  Probably 45.  Air temps 60-65 so i HAVE to get out there and fish.

My guess is that I need to downsize and I'm a rookie Jig fisherman who wants to throw a jig and trailor.

I was thinking of perhaps going with a 1/16oz jig(no idea what make or model), and either a 2" twin tail grub  or maybe a a Zoom Skinny Chunk.

I need your advice as to what kind of jig you guys love to downsize with, that still can target larger bass in the area you're fishing.   Is 1/16oz  the best idea generally? 

Also, are the trailors I mentioned worth it?    Do you guys have better ideas for smaller trailors in mind?

Thanks!

My favorite would be a bitsy jig, 3/8oz in black and blue, and a Rage Tail Baby Craw (matching color). Been doing okay with that in my colder water. In fact, besides that set up, the only other thing catching me any fish right now, is a Chatterbait, same colors and trailer. Just fish real slow!

Stanley 1/4 oz. Green Pumpkin Jig with a Paca Jr. Trailer. Good combo! Fish on a spinning rod, because you tend to fish slower and with a more finesse approach.

What I have done for several years is take a lighter bitsy jig 1/8 oz or under and take the middle size zoom jig chunk and instead of placing it on the jig like a pork chunk thread the hook like you would with a grub. This flares out the skirt and the jig will glide more on the fall. Rig it fatty side up on the hook. This has been a great rig for me that works well cold water.

A good one for me is a Jewel 5/16 oz. Eakins' jig, trailed with a tiny or baby size Paca Craw.

For really cold water these are what I use. I am not affiliated with him as I am just a customer but these work. I suggest ordering whatever your most productive color and pairing it up with a Zoom tiny chunk or Uncle Josh pork 101. He has made custom colors for me in the past and I can say these worked in 36 degree water for SM here in Maryland.

Booyah baby boo jig with a baby ragetail craw.  Absolutely deadly.

[KYntucky Warmouth]

The small jigs I like are the Booyah Baby Boo and Bed Bugs and Strike King Bitsy Bug and Bitsy Flip.  I'm also thinking about trying the Berklet Ike's Finesse Jigs.  As for a trailer, I like the Yamamoto Baby Craws.

I like a Boo Baby with a tiny paca trailer. I use a green pumpkin here but you need to match your local crawfish coloring.

I like the Black Angel Finesse jig with an Uncle Josh Finesse Phantom Frog.

x2 on the jigs but for a smaller presentation I like the rage tail chunks or the tiny paca chunks

in cold water I use a round head weedguard jig in 5/16-3/8 with a short skirt, 2" trailer.  I still use a little heavier jig head but try to use a smaller profile.

That's a VERY nice looking jig. Love the fox fur in there. I tie my own too.

This one is a little pricey but like the Kietech Tungsten Casting Jig Model 1 in the 1/4 oz. size with a 2-3/4" Yum Craw Papi as a trailer.

[J Francho]

Keitechs and Skinny Bears don't work, LOL.

[Five-Alive]

I like a Boo Baby Boo jig with a tiny paca trailer as well. I use the 5/16 ounce.

I would like to have some done with bear hair. In my tests it works the best for really cold water.
