CATCHnRELEASE Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 I've experimented with a few jigs this spring and I would say I like Booyah the most right now but I never got to try terminator jigs, they look like they would slide through cover pretty easy but they are the most expensive. I also didnt get to try several other brands. All an all I really just want the jig to have a good mustad or gamakatsu hook on it. What are your guys fav. brands/styles? Quote
Lightninrod Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 My neighbor fish's tournaments and he swear's by the Booyah jigs. He's won a lot of money using them. I prefer the unique, Vertical JigXs but I am trying a new-to-me one known as the Whaddajig. Dan Quote
mike bat Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 for the price i think you will have trouble beating a arkee jig ,,,, and not the swindell one eighter ..... they have a regular jig that runs 1.35 or so and this jig catches fish ..... ;D Quote
Triton21 Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 I pour my own using owner hooks on most. I am using mustad on my poison tail. Looking for a better hook for that mold. Have to do a lot of sharping on the mustad and that cuts into my fishing time. I pour 7 types of jigs at this time. Nothing like fooling a Bass with a bait you made.

jomatty Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 i like the jewel football heads. another jig ive been using a lot lately is the strike king premier pro model jig. there are some serious downsides to this jig, as the rattle is unremovable which makes it really hard to change skirts but i like that i don't have to special order them, and the color patterns are really good. i hesitate to call something that has a something i really do not like about it my favorite but it is what ive been throwing a lot lately when a football head is inappropriate. the design also allows me to swim the jig and fish it in a traditional jig fashion using the same set up (this obviously is true for a lot of jigs).
