I haven’t heard that before. Thanks Mike

"Jig fishing requires the bass angler to use patience and total concentration, focusing one's attention on their sense of touch. (feel) All other external stimuli should be blocked. When you can achieve this, then you have achieved Mushin." - Sensei

I guess over the course of all my fishing I've used a jig of some kind a LOT more than a TR or spinner bait. For me a plastic worm goes back to my beginning but it was a weightless creme worm that my father "pre-rigged" with hooks.

 

I think I was in my teens before I ever saw or used a TR or Carolina rig. I guess I used a carolina first.

 

I know this is a bass forum but when I say that I've used a jig more I'm talking about catching multiple species. I've caught about everything on a jig from panfish, catfish, carp, walleyes, spots, largemouth and smallmouth. A TR just doesn't do that.

 

When I was a kid back before I ever saw an electric trolling motor, bass boat or even knew there might be such a thing as a bass tournament we used to set up a drift across a point, toward or along a weed edge and cast marabou jigs tipped with a leech, nightcrawler or whatever we had. Very often we caught mixed bags of bass, walleyes and white bass.
