My two sons and I use Boomerangs for the last 5-6 seasons since all of use use one or more setups with braided line now. B-rangs cut 15-65lb braid like its mono.

Thanks for the heads up. Just so happens I just bought a bunch of Zoom Super Chunks just for pairing them with my Dredge jigs.

Your jigs sir as so pretty looking they are like my mint condition JM stamped Marlin 336c 35 Remington lever action rifles featuring such absolutely gorgeous walnut and bluing I don't want to use them for fear of damaging them.

Just received my order of Seibert Dredge Brush jigs and Megalodon Brush jigs and I must say they are of absolutely superb quality. I bought a few OTC jigs each from four other well known jig manufacturers and there is no comparison between any of them and the Seibert Outdoors jigs. If like me you are just starting out using bass jigs for the first time especially stand up jigs for bottom dragging for bass I can not recommend strongly enough you give Seibert Outdoors bush jigs a hard look. And very reasonably priced especially for the quality of them.

My youngest REALLY has the fishing bug and also has the patience and concentration to be an effective soft plastic fishermen. I assembled him a collection of my soft plastics that has essentially every class of soft plastic bait you can fish T-rigged or with a screw-lock hook. Including some at least 15 year old Berkley Power Bait worms that have a very large profile. He tried one in metal flake darker blue body with a fire ribbon tail on a local lake and caught 9 bass in four hours on a at least 15 year old soft plastic worm.

Thank you didn't know that was a factor.

To begin with I ordered a few Siebert Outdoors Megalodon brush jigs.

Thanks again for the suggestions and helping to educate me on the finer points of jig fishing. I just figured out I when I am listing to YT fishing channels I often forget their lurer buying recommendations are made under the assumption those that are going to fallow their buying advice are also so boat fishermen like they are, hence the popularity of Arkie style jig heads for P&F which is essentially never an option for a shore fishermen.

Thank you for educating me. As I currently do zero P&F of jigs I will stay away form Arkie head jigs.

Looking for a good no heavier than 3/8oz stand up bass jig to buy. Not a bare jig head talking complete with skirt and weed guard.

Why exactly do do you not like Arkie head jigs? I know next to nothing about bottom contact bass jigs but based on a lot of videos I thought Arkie heads were effective and popular Lastly is a stand up jig head called that or another name.

Just my thoughts, but if you're using 30-65lb braid and you get hung up, can't you just wrap the braid around a solid fail safe object like wooden rod and just straighten out the snagged hook(s) and get your lure and line back?

In an effort to remain as economical as is practical and considering I am predominantly a shore fisherman am I correct in thinking limiting my jig selection to football heads and banana shaped Arkie jig head as I feel I am best served by a jig head design(s) that makes the bait present the hook and trailer pointing up at a 45* angle more or less. I didn't get to fish jigs at all last year and my spring fishing got wrecked by work so I am just now amassing my jig and trailers selection. I wish to purchase a bunch of Seibert Outdoors Grid Iron Arkie jigs to get me started.

Greatest of thanks for all the replies. Helped both simplify things and save me a little money.

Please clarify exactly which WSL you are recommending as there are quite a few.
