Fishin49er Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 I really like the Booyah Boo Jigs. Pretty inexpensive too. Quote
Other. Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Booyah makes good quality lures. Booyah would be my first choice. Quote
CrazedL.IFisherman Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Another vote for all types of booyah jigs, true quality! Quote
HPBB Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 just like most fishing gear, there isn't a "best" but "favorate" gear. what works best for one guy might not work for the next. If there was a "BEST JIG" than that would be the only one made, bacuse nobody would use anything else I have tried many, but Bass Stalker Jigs work the best for me http://www.unclejosh.com/bassstalker/modules/cart/ Quote

Siebert Outdoors Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Eakins jigs, Best productions finesse jig that I have used. Quote
CJ Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 There are alot of quality jigs on the market.I feel the most important feature for a jig is to have a quality hook such as a Gammakatsu,Mustad Ultra Point,and some manufacturers are now using Owner.I have pretty much quit buying name brand jigs and now buy a custom made jighead and make up my own skirts.I get a jig with a Gammy or Owner hook and make my own skirt for around $1.50/pc.

basspro48 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 I really like the Persuader big jigs for flipping and pitching, and for finesse or swimming I like Conquistador Tackle's Conquest Jig and my homemade jigs. Quote

senko_77 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Eakins jig all day. The 5/16oz is an awesome bait. Another great one is the Grass Stalker by Uncle Josh. Quote

Super User Bankbeater Posted February 6, 2007 Super User Posted February 6, 2007 I like Booyah and Strike King. Quote
Craw Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Another vote for Eakin's. A great little bait! Quote
llPa1nll Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 I am pretty picky about my jigs. Most important if it doesnt have a gamakatsu hook Im not throwing it period. I also like an inverted line tie on my hooks (perpendicular to the shank of the hook). My favorite Jigs are HI-TEK GMW Jigs also I throw the LunkLure RattleBack Jig, and the Catch'em Jig with Living Rubber Skirt. Quote
Super User Munkin Posted February 7, 2007 Super User Posted February 7, 2007 I am with CJ. I buy the heads and make my own skirts. The Eakins finesse jig was always my favorite but in Merryland they are hard to find in any usefull color. The only two complaints that I ever had with them was; 1. Not very many colors available, 2. The stock 3/0 hook was always questionable when using heavier line. Since I started making my own now I have complete control over the process and I fish jigs that I make 95% of the time. The only time I fish a stock jig is muddy summer water then I fish a Strike King pro model jig because I like the factory rattles. Allen Quote
Sinjin Kim Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Skinny Bear Pro Series Jigs. I have heard a lot of great things about Eakins and other jigs, but I personally won't use one that is not HAND TIED. Of all the jigs I have used, hand tied jigs tend to flare out considerably more than bulk production jigs that utilizes rubber bands to secure the skirts. Quote
hookem12_0 Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 War Eagle Football Head Jigs, Eakins Jigs, and the new Evolution Jigs. Quote
