Texas Rigs And Jigs

[bassinnoobie]

So I know what the difference is between the 2 but when is the best time and place to use both. Thanks

I find myself using a T rig more in grass and a jig when the cover is a little more open.

That's a pretty loaded question . . .

It's quite simple!

You've not toughly covered a piece of structure until you've thrown both.

Boy, that's a good question. I guess I tend to use jigs around cover, and plastics in more open water. That's not to say that I switch it up sometimes, but that's how I usually do it.

I use Texas Rigged plastics in clearer water situations and in heavy grass, if there is less than 2' of visibility I'll throw a jig. There are exceptions, but it is all trial and error but water color and vegetation will help you decided quickly.

In real nasty stuff like cedar trees or man made brush piles I like T rigs better simply because I find them more snag resistant  . Otherwise its just a guessing game for me . I do think fish caught on  jigs average bigger than t rigs.

I'll use a T-rig when I don't want the fish to feel the weight. When they suck in a jig and chomp down, there's that hard jig head. With a Texas rig, the majority of the time, all they get into their mouth is the plastic and the hook. I use it more for dragging and dead sticking.  A jig is more of a drop bait as I either am pitching or flipping it to isolated cover, or jigging it along the bottom. A football or swim jig would be the exceptions.

I always start out with jigs, then switch to t rigs or something like it if the bite is tough.

I throw both in the same places. If I am looking to come up out of the water to slide my lure over floating weed mats to possibly entice a topwater strike, then it is a T-rig.
