LWD Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Hi, I recently fished a strike king bleeding hook jig with a yum crawdad trailer and am unsure if it is working on small bass. Can it work on bass in the 10 inch size range or should I be using a c-rig 6" June bug lizard? Curious... Thanks, LWD Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Jigs can and will catch small fish, but a 6" lizard will probably catch more of em. Quote
LWD Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 Hey Bass_Fanatic thank you man for your insight. I wanted to know if jig+trailers are for catching bigger bass rather than the smaller ones. Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Like I said, they will catch smaller bass, but they primarily targer bigger ones. For smaller fish throw things such as worms, craws, beavers, or lizards. Quote
jignfule Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 one of the reasons i fish jig is to try to keep the dinks off my line Quote
FL_Sharpshooter Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Jigs work pretty dang good for big fish a lot of the days. I've caught quite a few in the 1-2lb range fishing a bitsy flip jig with a rage craw though. Quote
LWD Posted July 30, 2011 Author Posted July 30, 2011 Hey FL_Sharpshooter thanks for the advice. Quote
dhami013 Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Jigs for me have caught fish in all ranges from big to small. I have caught more small ones on smaller plastics such as a 4" senko. But I've also caught some lunkers on the same bait. Quote
backwater4 Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 If your body of water has a lot of small fish, a 1/16 or 1/8 black jig w/ a wire guard and small piece of platic worm or grub as a trailer is the way to go. As long as the weed is not to dense. Quote
Big-O Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Jigs work pretty dang good for big fish a lot of the days. I've caught quite a few in the 1-2lb range fishing a bitsy flip jig with a rage craw though. X2 and never under estimate the Bitsy Jig with a Baby Rage Craw on it... Several years back when I was designing the Baby, I fished that set up on a local lake here in Tx that isn't known for large model fish. After catching several small ones on it, I jerked on a 9lber and finessed her into the boat. So a Bitsy jig is a great choice! Big O www.ragetail.com Quote
The Bassinator Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 A shakey head with a finesse worm is hard to beat and Ive killed dinks on a finesse worm rigged weightless and twitched. They just cant stand it! Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted August 1, 2011 Super User Posted August 1, 2011 Why would u fish for dinks? Just a thought but small bass will bite big jigs as well I got a 10incher real early in the season on a AT grass jig 1 1/2oz with a whole stanley ribbit as a trailer. I wasn't expecting it usually that big gal weeds out the dinks for sure Quote
