LApanic Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I have a Yum Flash Mob Jr. and several packs of the 3.5" Alewife Cane Thumper. Looking for recommendations on some good jig heads for this rig. I usually use 1/8th oz on the top and 3/16-1/4 oz heads on the bottom, but looking for a good brand to pair with the shad color Alewife. I've gotta a BPS gift card and need to order some! thanks for the input! Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 27, 2014 Super User Posted February 27, 2014 Just another alternative if you have multiple rigs: Outside arms: LFT Live Magic Shad, weightless, rigged on #3/0 Gamakatsu Offset Worm Hook Inside arm" Johnson Silver Minnow 1 Quote
Tartan34 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 From BPS, the only one that I could find that wasn't white was the BPS Darter Jighead. Works really well for me. If you want to expand from BPS, I have found that the Revenge XL Headz or the Dirty Jigs pair really well and can match a shad color nicely. Quote

Super User WIGuide Posted February 27, 2014 Super User Posted February 27, 2014 I think the SK Squadron Heads would work well with the cane thumpers. Quote
s freud Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 What size silver minnow? Just another alternative if you have multiple rigs: Outside arms: LFT Live Magic Shad, weightless, rigged on #3/0 Gamakatsu Offset Worm Hook Inside arm" Johnson Silver Minnow Quote
LApanic Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 What size silver minnow? That's a good question Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 1, 2014 Super User Posted March 1, 2014 2 1/2", 1/2 oz Silver or Gold Quote
s freud Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Went to BPS today with my gift card and picked up the road warrior special: Yum flashmob jr, LFT Live Magic Shad (on sale BTW), #3/0 BPS Offset Worm Hook, and Johnson Silver Minnow. Can't wait to try it out. I've been thinking about the Alabama rig, but didn't want to buy a new rod and reel. This lightweight version will let me do it with my MH rod. Now I just need it to warm up enough to fish. Thanks! Quote
