Just some quick footage of the AWESOME new jigs I got from NSCB. Thanks chris! Can't wait to drown the rest of them........

Nice video! Thanks for sharing that.

Cool video! Those are rage craws I assume? Great action on those claws. Is it the jig itself that makes them stand up like that or is it a bouyant soft plastic?

That is the jig itself. I can't open up the video at work, but the head on the jig is designed to give the trailer that upright position.

To open video, press the 'Desktop' at the top and it will go to youtube and you'll be able to watch it.

Nope, the bait is not a rage craw. Its a PowerTeam Lures Diesel Craw. The jig is designed to stand up, but the bait is neutrally buoyant so the claws float up. A rage craw has better action but it desnt float, so the claws won't stand up.

got it, link fixed.

Thanks for the insight fellas. How would these jigs perform in mod/heavy weeds and grass? Haven't found one yet that doesn't get fouled up nearly every cast when fishing from shore at my local lakes/ponds.

Some heads are better than others, but that is on of those things that comes with time.

Great video, I hope to have some success with it once they arrive.

Your going to want to use a swim jig. The Fliping jig uses an alien head design for brush and timber. The head is wider to deflect off cover better.

 

The swim jigs and the flip n swim jigs use a narrow head letting it burn through weeds and grass much eaiser.

 

If you have that pond scum or moss stuff, I haven't found anything that will go through it without getting buggered up.

Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks rockchalk

Yep! No problem

Galloway,

Try downsizing the weight of your jigs. Lighter jigs won't penetrate the weeds as severely and it may help with the fouling. Also, try bulking it up with a trailer that allows the jig to fall slower. I know it seems like we are splitting hairs here, but it will also help the jig to land a bit gentler (is that a word?) and perhaps keep it from digging in.

Rockchalk is right, swim and flip n swim jig types will do a bit better coming through cover. If ordering jigs is an issue, the KVD swim jigs in 1/8 oz could be a great option. It's a light wire hook, so don't throw it with 65lb braid... But it should do!

Great thinking. I had been using 3/8 mostly, so going lighter could really help. Sorry for the threadjack
