nickw234 Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Need some advice on some flippin jigs or heavy cover jigs. I've never used a flippin jig only a finesse jig. Just ned help with what brand to go with? Thanks Nick Quote
Koop Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 GMAN makes great jigs and at a very good price in a huge variety. He is a board sponsor here. Quote
Shimmer Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 I've had good luck with Stanley. If ya check right now at Gander Mtn. they are having their end of the year sale and have masses of Jigs for decent prices. Quote
nickw234 Posted August 30, 2009 Author Posted August 30, 2009 I'll check them out what is the best line for flipping jigs under docks an fallin trees an such? Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted August 30, 2009 Super User Posted August 30, 2009 I have flipped with a lot of differant jigs over the past 5 years and have settled on one that has been my go to jig for over 2 years now. The Outkast RT Jig, strong sharp 30 degree heavy wire hook, and pointed head that slips through anything, double barb trailer keeper which IMHO keeps my trailer more secure than any other jig and that's a must, as it keeps my fishing flip after flip, insted of messing with my trailer all the time. Comes in all the right sizes, 3/8- 1oz. (I use 1/2 oz. 90% of the time). And comes in the colors I like (Black/Blue, and Green Craw) Quote
Simp Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 I've tested out allot of jigs and prefer finesse jigs because I often fish clear water. When I'm able to go to a full skirted jig my favroit is usually the Revenge jigs. I like the hook, the color schemes are great, it has a recessed line tie, and it comes with rattles. These all add up to plenty of fish in my boat. With that said I'm always trying new stuff but when it's time for a tourney a Revenge jig is close by. Tackle Wharehouse has a good supply of them in tons of colors. Quote
southern Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 you mite also try the omega jig too,i like the pro-mega and the regular omega flippin jig,they work nice in cover. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted August 31, 2009 Super User Posted August 31, 2009 I'm honestly not too picky when it comes to jigs but I prefer one with an angle that tilts the hook up if the jighead is sitting flat on the bottom. Also, I like (but don't require) recessed line ties. Quote
nickw234 Posted August 31, 2009 Author Posted August 31, 2009 Any reccomendations for clear water or slightly stained. I have had good luck with Peanut butter and jelly. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 PBJ is one of my favorites for clear water. Light browns, green/brown mixes, and a living image color called clear water is another good one. For the most part I go with subtle colors like above for clear water. I try and keep it as natural as possible. Quote
Bryce C Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 War Eagle are my favorites this year.....always seems to change from year to year though, lol. Quote
Super User David P Posted August 31, 2009 Super User Posted August 31, 2009 I can not say enough great things about Dirty Jigs Tackle, check them out. They have a wide variety of jig heads and awesome colored skirts. I like the Pitchin jigs the best. I like 1/2oz jigs for reservoirs and lakes, and 3/4oz for when I'm fishing a bit deeper or on the Delta. Can't go wrong with any jigs from that site. Quote

I like the skirt colors and the bonus multi-color paint schemes on the jigheads but they are too expensive! I need to find a jig I like and buy like 30 of them at once and not have to sell a rod or reel to do it. Quote

Super User Dan: Posted August 31, 2009 Super User Posted August 31, 2009 ok, thanks dude! I'll send you a PM whenever I get enough cash to make an order. Quote
nickw234 Posted September 1, 2009 Author Posted September 1, 2009 Thanks guys for all the great info I went to my local Gander and got a Outkast R.T 3/8oz and a Terminator football jig in 1/2oz. Still plan to order some more of the Internet. Now I'm in the search for the perfect trailer for flippin. Thanks nick Quote
