So, I've heard a good number of people say that jigs are a "Big Fish Bait" and heard that they wouldn't catch as many "dinks" but I've caught many on a jig smaller than a pound. However I do believe they will get you a bigger bite than say a finesse worm, but just want to see if you guys are catching small ones on jigs too? They are one of my confidence baits and I throw them all year round. I love throwing them I just wanted too see if you guys catch smal ones on em too? Thanks

As a general rule (bass can't read) smaller bass usually will not target a crawdad as prey. The more you make your jig act and look like a real crawdad, the size of the bass you catch should be 3 lbs and up.

If your jig has the profile of a bait fish or other criitter other than a crawdad, then smaller bass can get very aggressive and not be turned off by the crawdads claws.

If using a soft plastic grub or beaver type of trailer, then can expect young adult 2 lb bass. Location may be your problem; fishing too shallow where the smaller bass spend most of their time.

Yea I have caugh a lot over 3lbs but when fishing smaller tungsten jigs(1/4-3/8) oz I get some under 2 a lot of times because of the small profile. However with lead the jigs are a good bit bigger I don't catch as many smal ones

Jigs will catch all different sizes of bass but the average size for me tends to be larger with many of them being above average.

Nice post WRB !!!

I have to agree, especially with this part of the statement, some of the things that have helped me to find bigger fish are fishing the deeper areas of a good location, lay downs for example, I start at the outside and work my way in, 90% of the larger bass have always come from the deeper end of cover that I fish.

WRB and Nitrofreak are right on the money. For size most of my bigger bass come from deeper water. Also Bigger profiles catch bigger fish most of the time.

We can end this thread now; great posts guys.
