Shadcranker Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 I'm becoming a bit of a jig snob the more I look at them. For Footballs, I really like the Jewell Mike McLelland model, and for small finesse jigs, I'm a big fan of the Bitsy Bug. Aside from those mass produced jigs, I have found some flippin jigs that are pretty sweet: I saw the Peppers jigs at a local bait shop last week, and I had to have some. The silicone skirt is extra fine cut, with great paint jobs on the head, and Gammy hooks. Also like Conquistador jigs, Tournament Force Tackle, Tight Line, and Choo-Choo jigs. Anybody else have any non-production jigs that they really like? Thanks SC Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 24, 2008 Super User Posted February 24, 2008 I fish Craig DeFronzo's Micro Munch Tackle Jig, the Evolution Jig from MegaStrike and recently bought some GMAN's jig. So, BassResource jigs! 8-) Quote

BassFishingMachine Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 Are you talking about the strike king bitsy bugs, Shadcranker? If so, I wouldn't consider them high-end jigs lol, but they do catch fish. Anyway, my favorite jig is a Booyah Baby Boo in either 3/16 or 5/16 ounce, don't know if you'd consider it high-end, but it is the jig I have most confidence in. Quote

I'm still believe a jig is only as good as it's hook. I am fond of fine cut silicone skirts though. Quote
fishnaddiction Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 ^^^lol but really what jigs are high end? i can think of some signature but they dont produce many more than the cheaper more generic ones well my favorite jigs are the bitsy bug and baby boo jig i like the jewel football jig alot too Quote
Super User Sam Posted February 25, 2008 Super User Posted February 25, 2008 Shadcranker, No preference. I use a bunch of different types from different manufacturers. I guess the fish don't care what they cost just as long as they are attracted to the lure. Quote
jasone Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I consider Jig-X to be the best jigs ever made. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted February 25, 2008 Super User Posted February 25, 2008 i have found bitsy bugs to be crap. they always skimp out on the skirts. most of my bitsy bugs have hardly any strands on them, maybe like 20 strands TOPS. my favorite jig would definitley be terminators pro's top secret jig. this is one very nice jig. everything about it is good, full skirts, great colors, strong hook, rattles, trailer keeper, recessed eye, its a great jig.

Super User Jimzee Posted February 25, 2008 Super User Posted February 25, 2008 Tru-Tungsten jigs at $6.00 a pop I consider high end. They are great jigs though. Quote

Agreed, these are inexpensive. Funny thing is though, when dressing my jigs, even Bitsy Bugs, I pull out a whole bunch of skirt strands before the lure even gets wet. LOL. Not saying my way is the only way by any means. That is why this is a good board, lots of variance to opinions. Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted February 25, 2008 Super User Posted February 25, 2008 GMAN's Poison Tail. He oughta call that thing "The Trawler". High end or not, these things will clean out a lake. 8-) Quote
Super User grimlin Posted February 25, 2008 Super User Posted February 25, 2008 I consider Jig-X to be the best jigs ever made. Jig X are some pretty awesome baits.Pretty close up there to high end jigs. Quote
Super User David P Posted February 25, 2008 Super User Posted February 25, 2008 Make your own, much better quality then mass produced jigs. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted February 25, 2008 Super User Posted February 25, 2008 Bitsy Bugs may not be 'high end', but they certainly aren't 'crap'. : :-X Quote
mike bat Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 my favorite jig would definitley be terminators pro's top secret jig ill seconed that the skirts on this jig really flare out nice under water Quote

Siebert Outdoors Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I make all of mine so I can make them the way I want. The customization is endless. If I dream it up I can usaully make it up. I've made a few cool patterns lately. Some of them are lake specific and others are just patterns I dream up. Thanks for the great words Jeff H and Roadwarrior. Quote
