Looking for new 3 inch bait for 1/8th oz. jig head

[PourMyOwn]

I go through quite a few of these, it's the Gamakatsu 604 mold.

Thanks for all the good ideas, and special thanks to RRocket and TnRiver46 for some nice pics.

Please keep us updated on what you decide to try!

I’m a big fan of the Arkie XL jigs in 1/8oz; hook’s a bit bigger, so it still works with thick baits. Caught two bass and a crappie this afternoon with some 2.75” Strike King tubes—got the jigs and tubes from Wal-Mart.

 

And I’ll second @TnRiver46’s suggestion of the Zoom Tiny Brush Hog—it was a skunk buster for me on a jighead last year. Bass and warmouth alike were all about it.

 

Finally, I’ll only add that BPS’ tiny panfish beaver fishes fantastic in creeks.

I don’t think I’ve ever casted a brush hog, but I’ll take the credit anyway! Haha. Glad you got on em. I need to look into that BPS tiny beaver

Ah, shoot—you said tiny fluke, not tiny brush hog.

 

Yeah, those Coosa bass cannot stand those tiny beavers. They fall so erratically. I got the pearl/white color for stained water.

I really should try a brush hog, heard about how good they are my whole life

I'll second the Brewer double action grub...

Gene Larew Ned Rig Inch Worm. 3.75" can be cut to size due to design of bait.

Rabid Baits Fox Tail Ned Rig 3" 

Missile Baits Ned Bomb Worm 3.25"

 

my alternate favorites when not fishing a zman trd.

Some of the ones I really like and that have not been mentionned: Jackall Yammy Fish and the Great Lakes Finnesse baits in mat finish ( if you can find them).

3” Yamamoto Zako

I really like 3” and 4” largo shad. They have really good body roll and present a nice profile. Because of the body roll aspect they double nicely as swim jig trailers. (I have to say though, its hard to beat a 4” easy shiner, espesially when they are alittle more finicky.
