Vinny Chase Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 I love jigs, the first jigs I ever fished in my life were just ball head jigs with curly tail grubs as a kid. Now I mostly use skirted jigs. I used to buy pre-made jigs all the time, but now I realize that you have many more options to satisfy your jib obsession if you just buy the bare heads and skirting material and make them yourself. Saves a lot of money and you are so much better able to create the color patterns you want. living in the north, i often find that most of the pre-made jigs do not always match what I am going for where I fish so it was a simple progression to me. I have also found that the more I dish shaky heads the more I am realizing that they are awesome I will however buy Northstar jigs when they have deals/sales or something awesome, they have always produced for me.

jwhowells Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 I try to keep it basic with jigs b/c I know it is a slippery slope! I just grab 3/8 and 1/2 oz most the time, one black based, one natural. I have a few bigger and smaller. I try to keep it down to about a dozen. haha good luck with your addiction! I'm in the same boat but recently I bought some football head jigs, a chatterbait(mainly because I like jigs and spinnerbaits so it might be the best of two worlds) and some swim jigs just to see what happens.

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. Quote
