Jnichols76

I recently started fishing jigs also and have caught less numbers but bigger size. I'm not familiar with lakes in AZ but imagine deep, clear, and rocks with light cover. I would suggest a small football head jig (1/4 or 3/8) in brown, green, or bluegill color. I'm still experimenting with trailers but I would start with a zoom little critter craw for finesse or a zoom creepy crawler for a little more action - both in brown or green variants. Keep the retrieve simple and on the bottom - I prefer to just slowly drag it and keep contact to feel the bait. I would suggest a 7'+ MH rod and the more sensitive the better. A 7:1 reel and 12 lb fluorocarbon works for me along with patience. Hope this helps and good luck.
