zildjian Posted April 1, 2012 Author Posted April 1, 2012 i finally listened to your guys! no more just fishing worms.. i put them away and just fished my jigs. well today was a very cloudy, rained all last night and some today also water condition was stained to dark today. so i looked up whats the best color, and i read black, or black and blue is very good for these conditions. so last night i rigged up my Strike King's hack attack 3/8oz black and blue jig with Yum's Craw Papi green pumpkin/blue specs. and it worked! i couldn't believe it! i just fished it all day and after about 30 casts i felt a nice SMACK! and i just set the hook without even thinking about what it was or could be. and bam this 1lb 15oz Bass surfaced. then after about 30mins later this pig hit me! 3lbs 5oz! just wanted to post and thank you guys for helping me get away from using just one lure!!! Thanks! -Zildjian Quote
Super User tomustang Posted April 2, 2012 Super User Posted April 2, 2012 At first I was reading your post down to this especially since around my area of local lakes your average largemouth bass is a little over 1lb. If you catch a 2lb bass around here your high fiveing all your buddies lol. so a 4lb 10oz Bass just a couple oz's short of 5lb is on heard of for us here. And I thought you must be from around here, then I checked your location and I was right! Quote
zildjian Posted April 2, 2012 Author Posted April 2, 2012 Thanks guys! Yeah man Philadelphia, Pa Though I do most of my fishing in Nj right over the bridge. Quote

zildjian Posted May 10, 2012 Author Posted May 10, 2012 North Star Jig and Paca Chunk Trialer.... weather condition: Cloudy and raining on and off water condition: clear water about 1ft deep went fishing today with my buddie to a new lake with clear water and sand bottom with lots of vegetation. fished after work for 3 hrs with crankbaits, spinner baits, worms, frogs, and poppers. and nothing... so i switched to one of my new jigs i ordered from North Star that i had never thrown. it's the Flip and Swim Jig in Pumpkinseed color and 3/8oz. and for the trailer i put a NetBait Paca Chunk in Craw Fish Color. The weather was so crapy out! cloudy and gray with off and on rain showers. and on my first cast... felt Tap Tap and i set the hook and this bass had that whole jig in her mouth! she was 2lbs even on my field and stream spring scale. and in the next couple of casts this 1lb 4oz Bass hit next... small but still fun! and after about 9 more casts i went with a fast retrieve and hops and another bass slammed it! i was reeling her in and she surfaced twice! looked no smaller than 2lbs. the head was huge! but on the 2nd time she came out of the water she through my jig! i was so mad! worst feeling... sucks when you physicaly watch it happen right in front of you. so i fished all day and nothing, and i change to my jig and hook up 3 bass within 30mins. so much fun! Thank You North Star Baits! -Zildjian Quote

All I have in my box of jigs is all North Star. They are a huge hit everywhere I go fishing people are always asking me where to buy them. So I send them your way.. Thanks again! 1 Quote
