10,000 lakes Bassin Posted August 19, 2024 Posted August 19, 2024 I’ve been fishing a lot of deep coontail, milfoil, and cabbage lately, by pitching to clumps of grass or casting and working along the outside edge. I’ve been using Stealth Feider jigs but I’m nearly out and It seems like they’re out of stock everywhere. What other jigs do you recommend for what I’m doing? I was eyeing the Dirty Jigs flipping jig but I figured I’d ask here first. Thanks everybody! 2 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted August 19, 2024 Global Moderator Posted August 19, 2024 There are so many…….. for grass I like a slender jighead if youve got one, if not an arky still can usually accomplish nearly all things jig Most all grass I’ve ever fished is shallow, I’ve had good luck with the sixth sense hybrid pulling thru stuff @Pat Brown slays them on the @Siebert Outdoorsjigs if I recall correctly 2 Quote
BayouSlide Posted August 19, 2024 Posted August 19, 2024 When the grass is heavy, for my money's it's the GameChanger Trashmaster: https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/GameChanger_Lures_Trashmaster_Jigs/descpage-GCLTJ.html 3 Quote
Super User Catt Posted August 19, 2024 Super User Posted August 19, 2024 Terry Oldham's Eye Max, followed closely by Hackney's Flourcarbon Jig. 4 Quote

Pat Brown Posted August 19, 2024 Posted August 19, 2024 That @Siebert Outdoors grass jig is a thing of beauty! Hard to beat that or any of his swim jigs for fishing vegetation - his brush jig does pretty well as an all arounder that does well in grass as well. Can't say enough good things about Mike's jigs and I've caught many giants on his stuff. Don't sleep on that sniper finesse jig - been my best producer during the hottest months and early spring. 3 Quote
Texas Flood Posted August 20, 2024 Posted August 20, 2024 The Stealth Feider is my favorite grass jig too but I really like @Siebert Outdoorssupreme grass jig. kent craw for clear and night craw for dirty 1 Quote

Do you ever use his tungsten jigs? They caught my eye but unfortunately there wasn’t 5/8oz which is what I mainly flip Quote

Gets the job done and then some 😎😎😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 1 Quote
Super User LrgmouthShad Posted August 20, 2024 Super User Posted August 20, 2024 Oldham Eye Max is the best 3 Quote

Love that jig paired with a Strike King Scounbug (which might be the worse name of any bait ever made...unless somebody can tell me what the heck a scounbug is). 1 Quote
softwateronly Posted August 22, 2024 Posted August 22, 2024 @August if you go dirty jigs, I like SC flippin jig for similar cover you're describing, 5/8-3/4oz seem to do best. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Dirty_Jigs_Scott_Canterbury_Flippin_Jig/descpage-DJSCFPJ.html Dealing with milfoil up North, I highly recommend that you choose a jig with a vertical line tie. Northstar Flip N Swim gets thru the thickest gunk as well and comes in heavier weights and has an eye to boot. https://www.northstarbaits.com/catalog/item/8195376/8883264.htm The eyemax looks perfect and comes in heavier weights too, and I'm also thinking the Nichols Buddy Gross Craft jig is worth consideration. scott 1 Quote
