fishforlife14 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I recently started jig fishing.I was wondering what your favorite jigs are to throw when you don't want to use a trailer. 1 Quote
bassboy107 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 No matter when i am throwing a jig, I always use a trailer. If I were to throw a jig without a trailer, it would be a mop jig, or a jig with living rubber. Quote
Mccallister25 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I'm partial to booyah jigs, but never throw a jig without a trailer. A trailer is a must, and in my opinion greatly increases your chances of a strike. Quote
Todd2 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I always have a trailer...craw, shad, or creature. Why do you feel there is a need to not to use a trailer? Quote
papajoe222 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I like either a stand-up style jig head with a Reaper or a Slider Jig with the original Slider Worm. I think that's what you're asking as I don't know of anyone that uses a bass jig without a trailer. Quote
blongfishing Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Last year early spring I started Jig fishing as a goal. I never used a trailer at first. About mid summer I started using trailers sometimes. I noticed I caught more with a trailer. By early fall I used a trailer all the time. I now use a trailer with any jig. Even my striper buck tail jig. Quote
Super User WRB Posted April 29, 2014 Super User Posted April 29, 2014 Welcome Fish4life14, your post belongs in the tackle forum and will be moved there. Take a few minutes a try using the search tool, there is a tool at the far right that will focus the search on key words like "jig trailer". Tom Quote
BigKev77 Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 A jig with no trailer is like a Thanksgiving turkey with no stuffing. It just aint right. 1 Quote
tntitans21399 Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 I haven't had a lot of luck with jigs. Do you fish them the same as a worm or a lot slower? Which trailers do you like when you do use a trailer? Craw, grub/worm, etc...? If you use a craw do you use a simple one or try to get one that has the most attachments to move in the water? Quote
Super User WRB Posted May 1, 2014 Super User Posted May 1, 2014 The traditional bass jig is known as a pig & jig, Arkie style weedless jig, various skirt materials and pork rind trailer "pig". Today this same jig usually has a soft plastic trailer in lieu of the "pig". Site sponsor RageTail is very popular and Yamamoto a distant second, both offer excellent soft plastic jig trailers. Some "jigs" are fished without a trailer, usually smaller hair jigs under a bobber called a "float &. Fly" by bass anglers. Some jigs are used without skirts like shaky and dart heads with a soft plastic worm. There are dozens of jig types, so it's a good idea to define the type of jig when discussing them. Tom Quote
