ncbassfisher1496 Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I want to get some I these for the upcoming bass season and I was wondering what size and colors would be the best for bass? I'm in NC and usually catch bass in the 1-3 pound range. Quote
Super User webertime Posted January 19, 2013 Super User Posted January 19, 2013 3.8 & 4.8". Silver flash, gold flash, pro staff special, bluegill. Quote
ncbassfisher1496 Posted January 19, 2013 Author Posted January 19, 2013 Also what hooks (and size) would I use? Quote
Hoss_CH Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 rainbow shad, silver flash minnow,gold flash minnow 2.8 or 3.8" on a 1/8 oz head behind my a-rig. Or the 4.8, 5.8" on a 3/8-1/2oz big hammer kill them on the west coast. Quote
skeletor6 Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I like using them as a trailer on my NSCB Flip n Swims 3.8 or 4.8 inch and just match it up. The colors on the pictures are pretty representative to what you'll see. Perch and ayu are my favorites. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 19, 2013 Super User Posted January 19, 2013 Here are a few. I like the style of the white in the middle on red background: http://www.google.com/search?q=swimbait+jigs&hl=en&tbo=u&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ei=kpr6UN-ZCZSO9ATs1IDwAw&ved=0CGgQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=909 I also fish them as a swim jig trailer.

Super User webertime Posted January 19, 2013 Super User Posted January 19, 2013 I think they tear less and get a bit more head wagging on swimbait hooks like Gamakatsu weighted one with the screw locks. Try them on a biffle head too. Quote
War Eagle 44 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 I haven't had a chance to really fish with these a ton but so far I've used them as trailers on big swim jigs and by themselves on weighted Owner Beast swimbait hooks. I agree with webertime that they have more "movement" when fished on a weighted swimbait style hook. I've only used the largest size on the Beast hooks though so I'm not sure how the smaller ones do with this. I have used a smaller size on the back of a "finesse" 1/4 oz swim jig I was throwing around in a pond, it worked out really well IMHO. Quote
