lightsout Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 A certain lake I fishhas produced well for me with smaller jigs. The problem is the max weight I seem to be able to use and not get covered in the mung all over the bottum is 3/16 or so. I'd like to start using a few larger profile trailers, but the finesse jigs (s.k. bitsy bug, terminator tiny T, etc) I like dont have an adequate hook. I'm even considering having some custom made at this point. Can any of you reccomend anything? Quote
Thefishy1 Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 If you are looking for a large profile, light weight jig that wont get hung up here you go. Jig with skirt and plastic cover Under the Skirt ;D Pj Lures Ultimate Jig It weighs 5/16oz and makes use of a skirt forward design where the skirt is placed in front of the weedguard. The white plastic piece comes with the jigs and slips over the line tie and makes it extremely weedless, and can be colored to match the skirt color. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted June 22, 2010 Super User Posted June 22, 2010 Put a skirt and trailer on a shakey head jig in your choice of weights. Quote
zero Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 i would suggest punch skirt with larger lure that way you can use 3/16 wiyh larger profile wityh good hook Quote
lightsout Posted June 22, 2010 Author Posted June 22, 2010 fishy---that is awesome! really neat design. You might have the answer. Wayne---I've tried that but most shakeyheads either have the wrong style head (Ball) or dont have a long enough (or the wire is not a heavy enough gauge). I'm open to any suggestions you might have though. Quote

Siebert Outdoors Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Your not the only one that has asked about this very issue. One day last year I started messing around with tin/bismuth and built a few nontox jigs. One of the side effects was the jig is lighter then lead. Pretty cool I thought. I discovered that a 1/2oz profile jig weighs about 3/8 ounce. A 3/8 is about a 1/4. Thanks guys! Quote
