I am 14 years old and got addicted to fishing couple of months ago. I mean i love it. I live in iowa so i don't have very many lakes near my house. Any way ive been fishining only a couple times after i got addicted. I tried many things and nothing seemed to work except using a worm on bobber. I dont like that kind of fishing. But i was at Wal-Mart acouple days ago and i bought some jigs and a crank bait. So on Aug. 9 i went to a party that had a private pond. i went fishing there. i tried some lures and crank baits first. Nothing. Then just to experement i tried these jigs. It never seemed to me that bass would take a jig. But they did! Five bass did. ;D. I was amazed. Ok i'll tell you what i did and used. I used a berkly power bait or grub. i swan the jig about mig depth near structure. The grub was tan headed and white tailed. They have a stench that works. So if you have any jigging tips or addice feel free to write.
