Just looking for anyone's opinion and input regarding their favorite vibrating jig. My personal go to is D&M 3/8 oz Piranha Swimg Jig which seems to have an aweosme hook-up ratio and attention to detail for price.

Booyah.... I like the flexible hook.

I've gotten hit with the trailers that come with it, but latley I've been experimenting with super flukes.

Got a 3 lber last night. She hit it so hard i thought I was gonna lose the rod.

 

Color..Any as long as it's white

Hands down the best is the TNT baits claymore jig. Look them up

I have had no problems with z-man chatterbaits but I haven't tried others to tell if they're better

See and that is weird because I have had terrible experiences with Zman hooks

I have only used the Zman lures. I have seen the Booyah's but I'm not sure if I like the flexible hook set up. Somehow it just seems a bit "suspicious" to me.

z man, in white with a summer craw chunk or fluke trailer. caught my 10lb on that set up.

What's happens with the hook

One hook broke clean off at the jig head and I have had another hook bend after catching a 5 pounder. On top of that my skirts on these baits seem to fall off all the time so I've had to gorilla glue them to the jig head base. Maybe I was just unfortuante enough to get two seperate terrible chatterbaits from Zman but I remain skeptical.

I guess Ive never really experimented with others but the Strike King Pure Poison has worked just fine for me!

Havent had a problem with the hooks yet on my Zmans, but have had several of the skirts come off. Ive had better luck though without the skirts!

That sucks.. I've heard people say that on here but for me no problems with hooks.. also I do use alil caps of super glue to keep the skirt on.. no gorilla.glue tho because it foams up and I don't like that on my bait..

Without the skirt? What do you use as a trailer

Posted

I use zman.. I bought a d&m pirhranna and love it but I accidentlly bought the 1/2 oz and that with a swim jig trailer looks huge... I haven't thrown it much..

That's weird, when do you use the glue? When the bait is wet? If so I can see why it may happen, I tend to use it after a day on the water when the bait is dry. If you use gorilla glue when the bait is dry you shouldn't have any issues with foaming.

Has anyone used the j-will rocker jigs? I saw a ton on clearance at walmart the other day. Looked like they had a much bigger blade than zman or booyahs.

I understand we all have prefferences, but I don't understand what you find "suspicious" ?

I understand we all have prefferences, but I don't understand what you find "suspicious".? I'm used to fishing solid hooks from hook eye to tip. I have had doubts/suspicions about a flexible hook being able to hook and keep fish hooked. After reading your first post I thought I might have misjudged them and posted to see if others shared my concern or if they were raving about the product and I were missing out. If somebody you can tell me they work as good or better I will try out one in I believe golden shiner color I have had my eye on for a while.

I make my own and catch far more on them than I ever have on store bought bladed jigs. I build them on a 3/8oz football jig or 5/16oz ballhead jig with a 4/0 black nickel Mustad ultra point. Plus I can customize my skirt color. I've caught a ton of good fish on them the last couple years. Caught my two biggest bass of the year on them in fact, one on black and blue and one on zebra shad.

Nah I don't really need to glue then if I do its with super glue on a dry bait of course.. gorilla glue foams for me I treid it on my terminator jig the weed guard came out.. foamed like it had rabbis. Also with the z-man skirts I will get a few here and there that need to be held BC there those.
