junebug soft plastics or an orange spinnerbait

Lucky you, because its banned in my state, except for spinnerbaits and buzzbaits.

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.

I've decided to devote 2012 to learning two new techniques. I've decided one of them will be the drop shot. However I'm stuck on the second. I've narrowed it down to jig fishing or flipping (not the casting technique). What do you guys think is a more valuable skill. Any input is appreciated.

Welcome to the Boards!

Congrats on your outing. I stripped all my rods and me and my dad winterized the boat right before that October snow storm. Bad decision on our part, as it has been beautiful out lately.

I've found more luck fishing it tail down, and it's caught me many more fish since I started throwing it tail down.

I'm Greg,15, and have been fishing as long as I can remember. I'm from Massachusetts and fish Ma. and NH. My pb's have been a 4.13 smallie and a 4.25 largie. I've learned everything I know from my dad, and get so much support from him. I currently fish two trails, and have fished 3 separate trails since I started Tournament fishing at 13.
