Pitching jigs in the weedline

Siebert outdoors tournament series swim jig in 24/7 or blue/black

black and blue is my favorite, but a close second goes to junebug. Actually just has good for know with smiw jigs the bloody shad seem to work. any kind of plastic im going with blue or purple. unless im fishing clear water which migh happen every ten years

I tie all my skirts on using a small black zip tie

I'll use a some type of fluke or sluggo, fish it slow and pause a lot between working the bait. I want this bait to really look like a dying fish. Keep in my this is after I've tried every jig fishing technique

A jig, plain and simple. At my home lake they seem to be hitting them when I'm yo-yo'ing

Meant to say rocket craw instead of sweet beaver, which are from a different line of plastics. Reaction innovations make those sweet beavers. I'd say they are my second fab line of platics

The havoc line of plastics are my favorite by far! I'm really liking the fatty craw, and the sweet beavers

I've never used megastrike, but I do keep a small bottle of berkley power scent.

I've used chigger craw, zoom chunks, zoom speed craw, rage craw, sweet beavers, fatty craws, incredi-craw For flipping and pitching any of those will do. They all work well, tho I may stick with the fatty craw or the beavers from now on because they are more durable then the others But the rage craw, speed craw, and the incredi-craw are more versatile due to there better action

Yep, I have a pack of 7 1/2 inch in purple June bug color. It's my preferred choice when t-rigging a worm. I also use there incredi-craws in the se color

I have a fenwick too, but it doesnt have the backbone the ugly stic has. This ugly stic is really surprisingly stout rod. My Fenwick is old as dirt too

grab 10lb kettle bells palm them in your hand up side down for 30 sec sets, and your grip strength will improve. It one of my exercises i use to increase grip strenght for jiu-jitsu...haha. I could dee how you could get that feeling with one of these type of rods, but when you think about it, if a fish is strong enough to do that with the short pistol grip rod, it could also do it with my normal longer rods

I figured purple is close enough to blue anyway. Plus my new favorite swimmer is blue/purple/black. Still havent figured out what specific jig it is. I dont remember when i bought it. Its shaped like a swim jig. Has the normal head with the eyes, but instead of the body of the head kinda rounding like swim jigs do, its got a arkie type bottom of the jig head.

This is exactly what I was thinking of using it for, tho dodge guy did provide a good point. Seem they would be great for working jerk baits as well

In there area I live there are not to many tackle shops with larges selections of baits so often I'll have trouble finding matching trailers for my black/blue jigs. Its always with the black and blue stuff, especially trailers with lots of action. One thing I've noticed is I've had success matching plum/purple/june bug type colors to my black and blue jigs. Particularlly with swim jigs where I want some action. Just a thought I'd share. i've had tremendous success with zoom speed craw in june bug, and culprits incredi-craw in plum. Both work well as trailers for all my black/blue jigs

They would be great for working jerk baits. I didn't even think about that

Anybody still use these? I have a short medium heavy ugly stic that I'm thinking about throwing a reel on for pitching jigs from tight cover from the shore. Can't remember the exact length but its under 6 ft. I'm thinking its 5'6". It's very stout and would be good for this application

true, I may have been thinking of "top secret" for another reason. It really looks like a swim jig with a arkie style head. Maybe a cross

I remember buying it and remembering the term top secret but I could be wrong. Maybe it was something else I was looking at. Ill try and get a better pic later Anyways, it looks like a good flipping/swimming jg

better pic, so you guys can get a look at its profile

The only thing that confuses me is the straight profile of the jig, like a swim jig. It doesn't have that rocking style on other arky style jigs I have. Does this make sense? Do all arky style jigs have a straight profile, like a swim jig? Ill take another pic asap

I use arkie style jigs all the time, but the overall shape of the jig is more straight looking, for swimming. It looks like a swim jig with an arkie head, which is awesome. Seem like it would be for versitile

I recently purchasing a jig and when I opened the package the band holding the skirt together was damaged, so I decided to make my own using a number of different skirt colors. Its mainlu black/brown, put in the pic I'll attach you"ll be able to see all the colors in it. Anybody ever done something like this. I'm gonna try it after work today.

Its shapped like a swim jig but the head has a flat part, and is slightly rounded. For flipping and swimming maybe? I'll add some pics, tho they might not come out to well.
