Rigging Strike King Bitsy Flip

[jiggz125]

I picked up 1/2oz mini strike king flip jig. How do you rig the trailer on these? The shank of the hook is so short and then there is bulky metal. I was trying to rig a paca chunk sr and don't see how to put it on straight. I have rigged other swim jigs and booyah jigs without any issues. Do I use a specific type of trailer?

i usually bite the end of the paca chunk off so it fits right and the hook comes out of the nose

You may have to bite-off a chunk of your trailer to make it shorter to fit the shank.  You'll have to slide your trailer onto the bulky shank.  It is what it is.  I like those little jigs at times.

I am going to give you one of my most guarded secrets.............or just a tip.........you be the judge. Use a REGULAR Pace craw, not the chunk. The "baby" size mates up with the 1/2 oz. Bitsy Flip well. Cut the "tail" off where it meets the "torso" of the craw....it's hollow. Put a little Megastrike on the lead blob on the hook shank, and thread the hollow part of the paca craw on it. It stays put, and gives you a nice compact package...................Brrrrrp......................your welcome.

I got it thanks guys. Just needed to push it up over the bulky portion. I was afraid the plastic would rip but its on there pretty good now. Looks pretty deadly. Cant wait to use it.

I "discovered" the Missile Fuse 4.4's and they work great on a bitsy jig.  Trim off some of the end to get the desired profile you want.

 

I tend to keep it long and lanky.  More action on the fall.

Gonna throw that exact setup tomorrow for the first time, actually tomorrow will be the first time Ive ever thrown a jig, can't wait.

I know there no right, wrong way but I rigged my so the chunks appendages start right where the skirt ends so from the pic you posted about a 1/2" further down. I'll post a pic when I get home see what you guys think, cause I'm gonna do a few more tonight having a few cold ones...Hahaha!

It was actually on a black n blue bps 1/2oz football with a blacknblue baby paca craw, Dobyns 734c, lews TP, 50lb sufix, I had a bunch a rigs go

She hit it on the fall, didn't even know she was on, went to shake it an she was there so I swung away! Was in about 10' around some rocks...Honestly I'm surprised we caught anything, water was 47, cloudy an windy. Me an my main fishing budy were just dieing to get out there!
