Bass_Akwards Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 What's everyone's favorite jig and trailor combo? Also, what retrieve has caught you the most bass? Hopping it? Or crawling it on the bottom? Or a combo of those? Thanks! Quote
aarogb Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 I have different jigs for different situations but my favorite brand is either Booyah or Revenge. As for a trailer I like to go with Rage Tail Chunk. Quote
Super User Catt Posted May 14, 2009 Super User Posted May 14, 2009 Oldham's Lures Trailer Hitch Jig, 3/8 oz Black/Blue, Gene Larew Salty Hawg Craws in 6 with 2½ cut off the tail Most productive when fishing it like a Texas Rig Quote
fathom Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 oldham's, over 1/4 oz....bitsybugs, under. zoom super chunk jr. on either. oh yea, black/blue. Quote
Super User 5bass Posted May 14, 2009 Super User Posted May 14, 2009 Knuckle Down Lures Knuckle Dragger football jig with a Berkley Chigger Craw trailer, although the Rage Craw is coming on strong. Mostly dragging with a hop every now and then. Quote
BassinSoldier Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 I have a black n' blue finesse jig I got off of my buddy, but I'm not sure of the brand. I love that bait with a bitten off rage tail craw in okeechobee craw color with JJ's Magic chartreuse on the claws. Quote
Super User CWB Posted May 14, 2009 Super User Posted May 14, 2009 Strike King Tour Grade football, texas craw, Rage Craw trailer. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted May 14, 2009 Super User Posted May 14, 2009 I like pepper hawg jigs the best, rootbeer pumpkin skirt, 1/2 ounce. I tip it with an Uncle Josh #11 pork frog, and work it slowly along the bottom with hops, dragging, and quite a bit of deadsticking. Quote
ChiCityBasser Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Right now its the Strike King KVD swim jig 3/8 oz. in Black/Blue with the rage tail chunk in black/blue flake. The retrieve depends on the cover and I have crawled it along the bottom. Hopped it in the rocks and vary swimming it thru light cover. Depends on what the fish are hitting and seems to work best hopped along the rocks for me Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted May 14, 2009 Super User Posted May 14, 2009 For the jig, it's a toss up between the Strike King Football black with a blue flash skirt and the Boo Yah Pigskin River Craw which is black with a blue flash. The trailer I used is the *** 4.25 Beaver Craw, watermelon/red then dip the "claws" in JJ's methylate. For retrieve, I bump and drag it across the bottom, and occasionally vary the retrieve with a sharp jerk to make it jump. That's what produced the fish in my avatar. For the life of me, I cannot figure out what it is that fish find attractive. When I watch it in shallow water it looks like some type of lure buried in a mass of grass. But, work, and work well, they do. Quote
Uncle Leo Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 I like a Picasso Football jig and a Rage Tail Chunk. Quote
Tim Ford Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Jig: Strike King Bitsy Bug Jig Color: Black/Blue Trailer: Zoom Ultravibe Speed Craw Trailer Color: Black Sapphire Quote
DINK WHISPERER Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Custom hand made 1/4-3/8oz jigs with full size Berkley Chigger Craw as a trailer. The jig being green pumpkin w/orange strands and the chigger craw being Sapphire blue. Yeah, i know, weird color but it works for me. All my jig fish have come from flippin' and pitchin'. Quote
JacobK Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 I've had great success with a 3/8 ounce football head jig, with a ragetail lobster trailer. rage tail lobster > all trailers it seems to have the most action and they have the best color selection. jig wise just pick one with a nice hook i don't even remember the brand of my football heads but they all have gamakatsu hooks. color wise just pick whatever you like or try to "match the hatch" i usually go for darker colors.

adclem Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Gman 3/8oz Image Football head jig, black and blue with a Net Bait Baby Paca Craw. Later, Quote
river-rat Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Oldham's Jig or Thumper Jig (3/8-1/2 oz. and sometimes a 5/8 oz. Oldaham's) in the following colors ( I make most of my jig skirts). Black/Blue Black/Blue/Orange Black/Blue/Purple Brown - orange glitter/Pumpkin - green glitter/Orange For trailers on the Black/Blue colors, I have been using the Zoom Super Speed Craw in Sapphire Blue mostly or the Zoom Super Chunk in Flippin' Blue. I also use the 6" Larew Salt Craw in Black/Blue Claw (like CATT, I cut it down to 4-41/2"). On the Brown/Pumpkin color, I use Zoom Super Chunk or the Paca Chunk Sr. in Rootbeer - Green Glitter Quote
BenoBreath Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Daimon's Destiny Jig, 1/8oz. 60 degree flateye, roadkill camo, with a Net Bait tiny paca chunk trailer, in alabama craw. Great finesse Jig! too bad they're not available anymore ! Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 I'm kinda partial. My favorite color is probably black/blue in stained to muddy water. Pbj in clearer water. I've been fishing some of the image colors and those are quickly making positive gains. Favorite trailer is a Joesjig trailer or a zoom lil critter craw Favorite retrieve. Watch how a crawfish moves across the bottom and that is what I try to duplicate. Its all in the rod none in the reel. Quote

BassFishingMachine Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 I have a few jigs/trailer combos that work very nicely for me, which one is the all time best I couldn't tell you, but typically I'm using one of these variations. 1. Black/blue 3/16 - 5/16 Booyah Baby Boo Jig w/ black/blue ragetail chunk. 2. Green Pumpkin 3/16 - 5/16 Booyah Baby Boo Jig w/ greenpumpkin ragetail chunk. 3. Black/blue 3/16 - 5/16 Booyah Baby Boo Jig w/ black/blue paca chunk (standard or senior size chunk). *this has caught me my pb* 4. Green Pumpkin 3/16 - 5/16 Booyah Baby Boo Jig w/greenpumpkin or watermelon red paca chunk (senior or standard size) All four should catch you fish, if the fish are extremely picky and you think less action is best, or if the water is pretty cold, go with a Yum Chunk instead.

Bass_Akwards Posted May 24, 2009 Author Posted May 24, 2009 Great stuff as usual guys. Just read this for the first time because I forgot I posted it. Duh. Quote
