Northstar Jigs

Featured Replies

I won the northstar facebook contest to recieve 10 percent off my total purchase and need help with which jigs to get. The water i fish is from lightly stained to muddy and has mostly weeds and trees with some rock rocky areas. Which jig styles would work best for this type of cover and what are some of ya'lls favorite colors for this kind of water?

Brown Craw for the reg jigs and bull gill for the swim jigs. I have had success with other colors but these 2 are top producers

With Northstars spring sale coming up this Friday you are going to get one heck of a deal! 

 

Colors- There are a TON of colors that will work for you in NorthStars lineup. Anything that is darker in color or has bright contrasting colors should work well in your case.  New Gill (my personal favorite), Alimony, Black/Blue, Junebug, Black/Brown, Flippin Blue, and Chaos are some that come to mind off hand. 

 

Swim jigs and/or Flip and Swim- These are both great for covering water. If your in heavy cover and want a jig that is equally good at swimming and pitching into heavy cover go with the Flip and Swim. If your working open water or very sparse cover go with a swim jig. OR get some of both :)

 

Knockout/Black Series- Both of these jigs are what I mainly use for pitching into cover. Black series gives you a bigger profile and a mixture of both silicone/rubber skirting, which is very unique and looks great in the water. For me the Black Series has landed most of my big fish including my PB. With that said I always have Knockout's on board as well for when the fish don't want such a big profile. 

 

Football jig- If you want a jig that excels in rock cover pick up a few of their Football jigs. These are available in the Knockout series right now, but during the Spring sale starting Friday they are releasing the Black Series Football jig as well. 

Spring sale starts Friday, and Brandon's advice is spot on, Slone's also I love both of those colors!

Don't forget the Mistake Flip n Swim. I have the same type of waters here and that red mixed in just kills em over standard black n blues.

You're naming off a very wide range of conditions. Lightly stained-to-muddy water ; weeds, trees, and rocks for cover/structure. It's not easy to give advice based on that.

 

Honestly, it would be better to try the basics first, and go from there. The 5 basic color combinations for jigs and other bottom-contact baits are black/blue, brown/orange, junebug, green pumpkin, and watermelon/red flake. If I had to pick 3 it would be black/blue, junebug, and green pumpkin.  Stick to the basic colors and try a variety of weights. The rate of fall is just as important as the color, in my opinion.

To help narrow it down the cover is mostly grass and the water is normally just stained.

You have to order some Bull Gill in the swim jig or the flip & Swim, this is a killer in the spring and in the summer too but it shines in the spring when they are on beds!!
