MichBassMan Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 What Jig & Trailer combinations do you all use when specifically fishing in cabbage,coontail, or other vegetation? Also where's your favorite source for jigs on line?It seems I spend as much time picking salad off my jigs under these situations as I do fishing. Thanks for all your input. Good fishin' Quote
thefishingone Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Yeah I have the same question. Which would go good with muddy looking water? Going to WalMart tomorow. Quote
CookieMonst3r Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Jig: Booyah Baby Boo Jig (Black/Blue) Trailer: Uncle Josh Phantom Trailer (Black), YUM Chunk (Black) You can buy jigs at BPS, ***, and other sites. Quote
Super User Muddy Posted August 14, 2008 Super User Posted August 14, 2008 I have been having excellent results with BPS Pear Shaped Jig Heads ( with the spring screw) of Lucky Strike Shakey Heads with a 3.5 *** Brush Bug, hook buried in the bait in Watermelon/purple swirl. Quote
Brian_Reeves Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 I recommend a florida rig 10 times over for fishing vegitation. I use a rage anaconda or craw, a *, or a big brush hog. Quote
skillet Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 If it's really thick, I have better luck with T-rigs. Seems to come thru the vegetation better... As Ever, skillet Quote
Super User Catt Posted August 14, 2008 Super User Posted August 14, 2008 Oldham's Trailer Hitch Jig: A jig is simply a tool, and these are designed to do the job right in the rough and tangled depths where lunker bass prowl. The upturned head and line tie eye are designed to slice through vegetation, and Oldham's Screw-Lock system allows you to fish all day using just one or two trailers. Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted August 14, 2008 Super User Posted August 14, 2008 Mango Jig, by Nichols. As weedless as a T-rig. Weeds, wood, brush, open water... A truly great lure. Quote
Castamasta Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 those mango jigs look sweet they sell those at bps? Quote
snapper G Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 I like Booyah Baby Boo jigs, with a pork-o trailer, as far as colors, I use black, it holds it's identity well, i've most likely caught more bass on black jig than any other. An other idea is to try to make your jig look as natural as possible, don't just pull it up and down off the bottom, I also like to move my jig just slow enough to make them barely tap the bottom and make the mud poof.

Super User roadwarrior Posted August 14, 2008 Super User Posted August 14, 2008 The GYCB Kreature is a much better option, rigged weedless: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1180909581 8-) Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted August 14, 2008 Super User Posted August 14, 2008 CastaMasta, Google "Mango Jig". They're made by Nichol's in Indiana. Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted August 15, 2008 Super User Posted August 15, 2008 Oldham trailer hitch jigs. Quote
rocknfish9001 Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Try this.. use a heavier rod with low stretch line. When your jig gets caught into a patch of weeds, grab the butt of the rod with both hands and give it a sharp jerk. The jig should explode through the weeds, and settle back down. This can cause wicked reaction strikes too. Quote
