Jigs Or Flipping?

[natalex1208]

Upon much consideration, i think jigs are not the way to go. Here is my reasoning, plastic technology. There are plastics to cover all bases these days. Where jigs catch mainly large fish, plastics catch more fish, increasing your odds of big fish. Another deciding factor are my current confidence baits, grubs, sencos and magic worms. So i feel emphasis should go towards learning these baits to their fullest potential.

You are free to do whatever you want, but you are overthinking it. Jigs no doubt are the play here. Versatile, big numbers, big fish.

Some experienced anglers may tell you that the desire and willingness to learn, experiment and improve your skills as a fisherman could help you enjoy this sport to its fullest.

I believe that you'll learn what size fish jigs catch - by fishing them.

Personally, I wish more fisherman would limit themselves to learning X numbers of new techniques every year. It would make things a whole lot easier on the tournament trail. It would be quite easy for me to write a whole article about this, but let me just say that the first year I fished tournaments was my sophmore year in college. Of the 7 tournaments I fished that season as a co-angler, I was introduced to 4 techniques that I had never done before with any kind of regularity. Rather than doing wht I knew I could do, I learned as much as possibe from the boater I was with. The fishing weather here lasts about 8 months, plenty of time for experimenting with new techniques if you'vegot the drive and determination to become the best.
