I think if I placed each jig in a separate spot I would run out of room real quick.

Yes. And for the that vary reason I do not do this either. However it probably looks nicer and more organized for the overly OCD guys.

I fish jigs quite a bit and used to keep a huge stock on hand in the boat...But rusted hooks, oxidation, and deteriorating bands would end up costing me a bunch of jigs.  Plus it was just extra weight and taking up space.  Now I just keep one box loaded with 50-60 jigs in the boat and try not to put anything back in wet.  I keep a decent supply of heads and skirt material in my tackle room in case I run low, but my box will usually last me through the entire tournament season and then I just buy or make more to restock.  

 

As long as you don't set the hook into brush or boulders, you can fish through the nasty stuff without losing too many.   I have a good number of Black/Green and Black/Blue since those my are favorite colors and the 2 or 3 each of the rest of the colors.  About half of these I put together and the other half are Sieberts.  This system has worked well for me, the only difference this year is that I got most of my restock of the non Black/Green or Black/Blue from Siebert instead of putting them together myself...His are way better than anything I come up with, plus it ends up being about the same price!

 

For added life and durability have your jigs wire tied or do it yourself and they will last forever. Most banded collars will rot over time and fall off. Same can be said about spinnerbaits.

that's exactly why my box is the way it is

I still have some organization. I keep finess, grass, swim all in there separate areas.

I only have 3. No reason post a picture.

Anyone else getting slightly turned on by this thread?  Great looking jig collections out there.

You guys are too organized. These two boxes are just what I had in the boat today, the blessing and curse of pouring and tying your own.

Curious what conditions you throw the bright blue jigs in. I throw a lot of carp and bluegill colored jigs to match the hatch so to speak. Have seen electric blue baits, just have stayed away from them because I had no clue when to toss them.

Might be a reaction jig or a hey let's see if this works. I personal had bright orange chatters made just to try.

Sapphire blue is a killer jig color in stained water or at night. I fish that color a lot with plastics and my homemade bladed jigs too. It's a big fish color too it seems like, maybe because nobody fishes it.

I have my jigs organized in separate boxes based on swim/pitch/football. Theyre also organized by weight in each box, and the bos is labeled with a sharpie. I only get out 3-4 times a month, so this helps me keep track of what everything is when I need it.

 

 

I keep my swim jig heads in my terminal box, but this year I used them more than all of my weedgaurd jigs, simply because we don't have much cover here once the reservoirs are drawn down mid summer. Ill post pics when I get home.

I have something like 20 of the 3700 series boxes:

1 box finesse hair jigs

1 box bigger hair craws

1 box hippy jigs

2 boxes of silicone and living rubber combo jigs

4 boxes of California style flip and swim style jigs

3 boxes of northern bullet style swim jigs

1 box football jigs

1 box grass jigs

2 boxes of finsse jigs like the Eakins style

4 boxes of brush style jigs

If you count chatterbaits or blade baits I have a box of those too.

And about 150 more jigs I am working on finishing up that will be needing new homes. Sort of a big collector and did hard jig fisherman. I recall one day on a northern lake where I had 8 jig rods rigged on the deck. It was pure heaven!

We see electric blue color. I'd be curious to know what color (if any) the bass see.

When it comes to jigs I have been told that Keitech is the way to go.  Any thoughts?

let me be one of the first of many to tell you that site sponsor siebert outdoors puts out a product that is hard to beat in terms of quality, price and selection...

Agreed, I have just not tossed it, because I can't figure out what in nature that would mimic. Funny thing is I don't think about that when I toss a pink bait, guess I will have to pick up some more jigs for next year to try out.

This is a pretty awesome thread:

Kind of on topic...but my craw box. Can you tell I fish stained/dirty water? LOL But these 3-4 colors are all you need...orange/brown, red, green pumpkin, Black Blue, watermelon

I have probably between 50 and 60 jigs. I keep them in different boxes based on weight. Rarely do I throw a heavy jig and a light jig on the same outing.

I'm guessing they see dinner!

I catch some of my biggest jig fish every year on sapphire blue, enough so that I started making my bladed jigs in that color all the way down to the blade. It ended up producing the heaviest weight of the season in the Thursday night tournaments I fish in.

I think understand a swim jig to swim it , and drop jig for around structure, but whats is benefit football jig and when is it used?

If I gain confidence in my jig fishing ability, then my jig collection will grow to be as large as others. I could show you my Squarebill box?
