angler1 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I have 2 jigs that are all white, 1 with a silicone skirt with rattles and 1 without rattles with deer hair. I have intended to use these for quite some time now with a reaction innovation smallie beaver in the white trash color. I can't decide what kind of water to use them in, stained or clear. I rationalize why they might work in both water color conditions but always reach for another color all together. Any advise, clear/stained or both? Quote
brushhoggin Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 i use white swimming jigs with white trailers but when i'm bouncing and twitching a jig around cover i use darker colors that are closer to imitating crawfish Quote
seyone Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I use them when bass are feeding on shad. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted January 20, 2010 Super User Posted January 20, 2010 I like a white jig with a white trailer on a summer night with a full moon. I also throw them during the day when the water is high and in the bushes. Quote
angler1 Posted January 20, 2010 Author Posted January 20, 2010 I use them when bass are feeding on shad. Are you swimming the jig to mimic a fleeing shad or are you using it like you would normally use a jig and making it look like an injured shad? Quote
simplejoe Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 i use white swimming jigs with white trailers but when i'm bouncing and twitching a jig around cover i use darker colors that are closer to imitating crawfish x2 I use white on buzzbaits, spinnerbaits and swimming jigs. Darker colors for slow moving jigs. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted January 21, 2010 Super User Posted January 21, 2010 I think you are reading more in to this than needed. I use a white wahoo flats jig and the bass love em, they hit what ever moves. The bass don't discriminate as this is a redfish jig. Quote
Shad_Master Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 A couple of years ago I was fishing a tournament in the fall - my partner was stuck on throwing a white spinner bait as the report was that bass were feeding on shad - he experienced a "professional overrun" and after he got it picked out and began to reel in, he discovered he had our first bass of the day - the light bulb went off and I tied on a whilte jig and began fishing it on bottom and filled out my card. Water was slightly stained with pretty strong winds - he stuck with the spinner bait and didn't do nearly as well on the day. Quote
