Eric J Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 I keep reading about or watching videos with people using fully skirted jigs with trailers in vegetation. I own a couple but am reluctant to use them as my locals are like jungles with heavy submerged vegetation. Any advice, thoughts suggestions? Quote
CroakHunter Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 If you're pitching in holes of vegetation a 1/2 works nicely, try to be as vertical as possible with your presentation. A heavy weedguard and hook is necessary which means a heavy rod with heavy line is needed as well. I haven't ever punched a jig through vegetation so would suggest a punch rig or jika rig for that. 1 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 4, 2018 Global Moderator Posted September 4, 2018 An actual mop jig is a little different than what it sounds like what you're talking about. They're more for fishing slowly to allow the big skirt to flare out and attract the fish's attention. A regular skirted jig will work just fine in weeds though. Best of both worlds is a punch rig or slither rig though. Quote
