hookset on 3 Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 When do you throw a jig? When do you use a beaver style creat. bait? Even one of the best jig flippers of all time,Tommy Biffle is winning with the beaver. Hookset Quote

egolfer Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I pretty much throw them interchangeably around wood, pilings, and in the grass. If the bass wiill eat a jig, they will probably eat a beaver. Both have a large profile, but if the fish want something a little more subtle, I throw what is shown below. It's a beaver body, but has a smaller profile with the claws rather then the paddle tail. It displaces less water, but still catches big fish. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted April 17, 2009 Super User Posted April 17, 2009 I like a beaver as a trailer on my jigs. Quote
aarogb Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I was just about to post the same question!!! I think it is just personal preference. Quote
harshman Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I'm partial to a jig and a big trailer of some sort, but I'm not stupid enough to keep throwing it if I'm not getting bit, which is usually when I'll switch over to a beaver or a chigger craw Harshman Quote
Super User Tin Posted April 17, 2009 Super User Posted April 17, 2009 I like the Beaver weightless. I just really loosen my brakes and flip it anywhere I would a jig. I usually go with it after I know an area has seen a lot of jigs during a tournament. Quote
