Fat-G Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I'd suggest everyone pick up/try out a finesse jig this Winter. I know a lot of you already know about using these, but for those of you who don't they are pretty darn good in the Winter. 1/8-1/4 oz is my preference, tipped with a small craw trailer. This is a phenomenal bait in the Winter! My favorite colors are brown/orange with a green pumpkin trailer. One of my top three baits in the Winter. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 finesse jigs are a great bait for winter bassin. 8-) Quote
bassin is addicting Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 does "finesse" refer to the size/weight? as in under 3/8oz? Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted October 6, 2009 Super User Posted October 6, 2009 I associate "finesse jigs" with the spider skirt, or half skirt with small amount of collar....not sure what really qualifies a jig as finesse Quote
Super User RoLo Posted October 6, 2009 Super User Posted October 6, 2009 I would not want to be limited to one bait during any season, but if I were limited to one bait during the winter period, it would have to be "Notemigonus crysoleucas" Roger Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted October 9, 2009 Super User Posted October 9, 2009 Since most of our bass waters are frozen over from mid december to early march, I usually use a tiny ice fishing jig tipped with a perch eye, such as a Custom Jigs and Spins Ratso in the smallest size. I catch a fair amount of largemouth on smallmouth but I mostly target perch and crappie on my jigging rod while I wait for a tip up to go off for pike. When I'm fishing perch and crappie I almost always get a few bass. Quote
ALbasser Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 It's hard for me to make a trip to lake anytime of the year without casting a jig at least once. Quote
Super User 5bass Posted October 10, 2009 Super User Posted October 10, 2009 I'll take a jigging spoon as my one winter bait. Quote
