BassFishingMachine Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 I plan to try a new jig so I can put some use to the jigs I have and just haven't used yet. I have had luck with 3/16 - 5/16 Booyah Baby Boo jigs (black/blue) at this lake, but Im thinking of trying either a 1/4 Bleeding Bitsy Bug Jig in Black/blue w/red strands. Or a 3/8 Evolution Jig in Black/blue. My past success on the booyah was flipping it into pads or stickpiles. So which of these 2 jigs would you suggest? The Bleeding Bitsy Bug Jig, or the Evolution Jig? Quote
cbfishalot Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 If your going fun fishing and not fishing a tournament buy one of each and fish both and make a choice of the one you like the best. If your fishing a tournament don't change what you have been fishing. Fish what you have confidence in. Quote
Super User Catt Posted November 7, 2007 Super User Posted November 7, 2007 Fish em both & let the bass tell you which one they like Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted November 7, 2007 Super User Posted November 7, 2007 Im thinking of trying either a 1/4 Bleeding Bitsy Bug Jig in Black/blue w/red strands. Or a 3/8 Evolution Jig in Black/blue. My past success on the booyah was flipping it into pads or stickpiles. So which of these 2 jigs would you suggest? The Bleeding Bitsy Bug Jig, or the Evolution Jig? There is a lot of difference in the fall rate of a 1/4 and a 3/8 oz jig. If you are going to compare you should buy the same size in both jigs. Personally, I'd get 1/2 dozen of each in at least 3 different sizes and water test them. I am doing that right now with a different hook style. I am using 3 colors with 3 different head sizes. So far I have eliminated 1 head size for this application. Quote
Bass XL Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 I say do what catt says.....but i've always had success on the bitsy bug jigs Quote
Super User Tin Posted November 7, 2007 Super User Posted November 7, 2007 Bitsy bugs have always got the job done for me, never tried the boo jig though. Quote
luckyinkentucky Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Fish them both, but you really need to try the Football head jig in 1/4 - 1/2 ounce. They are the best for flipping in my opinion. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted November 8, 2007 Super User Posted November 8, 2007 I only use two jigs with any regularity. The 1/8oz Bitsy Bug and the 3/16oz Evolution. You won't go wrong with either one. Cheers, GK Quote
Guest avid Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 They are completely different jigs. The bitsy bug is a casting jig that is alot of fun. I have caught a mess o bass using a double tailed grub as a trailer. the evolution jig is a bottom jig that has a broad base. It will hold a plastic craw in the defensive posture. very cool Get em both. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted November 9, 2007 Super User Posted November 9, 2007 d**n, I hate being so new to bass fishing. :-[ All this time I thought Bitsy Bugs were those critters that infested the hairy areas below the belt line. It never occured to me that you could catch bass with them. Avid, how do you get them to stay on your hook? Quote
shimanogloomis man Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 personally i like the evolutions jigs but a little pricy.. they stand up all the time most jigs dont... Quote
Super User Munkin Posted November 11, 2007 Super User Posted November 11, 2007 Try the 5/16oz Eakins jig or see if GMAN can make you some like in his avatar. Allen Quote
TrickyVT1887 Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Anything made by Jewel Jigs best jigs I've ever used IMHO Quote
