Super User TOXIC Posted January 20, 2022 Super User Share Posted January 20, 2022 1/4 oz football head jig with a Yamamoto twin tailed hula grub has caught a lot of smallies. A lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Columbia Craw Posted January 23, 2022 Super User Share Posted January 23, 2022 I am with TOXIC. A 1/4 ounce football head with a 3/0 hook and a hula grub is always on my deck. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassbum1016 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I’ll always have a finesse jig of some kind in my deck when fishing for smallmouth, but…….. Don’t discount a big jig for smallmouth, especially when fishing offshore these two fell for a 1/2 oz poison tail jig with a Zoom Salty Pro Chunk Just because they’re called smallmouth you would be surprised at how big a meal they will eat 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was fishing off the bank below a dam for striper one time with a big live bluegill, like one you would eat. Got a hard hit near the rocks under my feet, and caught a 2.5 lb smallmouth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User scaleface Posted January 25, 2022 Super User Share Posted January 25, 2022 River fishing for smallmouths is the most fun I ever had while fishing .I have to agree with every post . Removing the skirt from a jig and replacing it with a Hula grub has been a deadly combo . I have these tubes molded onto a jig head with a wire weed guard that are a killer . I think they were made by Stanley . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sphynx Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I catch a lot of smallies on smaller jigs, sure, but I definitely catch enough of them on 3/8+ sized jigs that I don't buy any of the talk about these jigs being too big for them to eat, you'd be astonished at the number of half pound smallies that will obliterate a half oz football head or arkie jig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessco87 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 My favorite combo for clear water is an 1/8oz black finesse jig with the small big bite craw worm trailer in black neon. I also notice that I don’t get stuck as much when working a jig with the flow of the river instead of against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew03cmc Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I like to use the Jewel AJ Finesse Jig tipped with either a 3" Warrior Craw or a Netbait Paca Chunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulVE64 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 The weight of a jig has everything to do with depth but very little impact on the size of the jig. I can deliver a very large (+8") fly streamer in 2ft of water and be 6" above the bottom without snags but by far the most fun and the easiest is on a fly rod. BUT the spinning rod is more versatile than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
