NavyVet1204 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I was watching a video on YouTube about shakey head and jigs and how using a finesse jig would compliment a good shakey head. The only thing he said in relation to the example of the jig he had for show was that it had a rounded head on it and it was a great shape of head for finesse jigging. I have wanted to get more into the hop and tug of finesse jigs for awhile. I log on to TW and there seems to be 10,000 different kinds of finesse jigs. Can y’all direct me to some good finesse jigs please? It will help a lot with such a wide selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DinkDreams Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I like the 6th Sense Divine Finesse jigs with a zoom twin tail grub. 5/16 is a bit heavy for a “finesse jig” but it’s easy to throw on MH casting rod and is still a smaller profile, ball head, with the “finesse cut” skirt. I pitch them into wood a lot and haven’t had much if any problem with hang ups or losing jigs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finessegenics Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Two styles of finesse jigs in my mind, the actual finesse jig, think light (~ 1/8 oz) with a small, thin wire hook. Something you’d throw on a spinning rod. The other is just a regular jig with a smaller hook and a skirt with less strands and/or cut with that lion’s mane. They call those finesse but they have some heavy wire hooks and come in weights that standard jigs do. I’d still throw those on a MH or H. Not finesse to me but I get the point. Don’t wanna argue semantics with anyone If you want a true finesse jig I’d suggest taking a look at the Keitech Mono Spin Jig. They are really small, they pair up nice with a TRD Crawz if you cut just a lil tiny piece off: https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/search-tackle.html?start=0&count=30&searchtext=Keitech+mono+spin+jig+ The other style of finesse jig I mentioned, my favorite is a War Eagle Heavy Finesse Jig. They come in a two pack for 6.79 so that is nice: https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/War_Eagle_Heavy_Finesse_Jig_2pk/descpage-WEFJ.html 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GANGGREEN Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 There used to be a guy on the NY Bass Forums who made little finesse jigs and sold them. I think his name was Earthworm. Does anyone remember him? He used to make a small (maybe 1/16 ounce) ballhead with a spider/hula style skirt on it and they were great. I don't believe I have any more of them and wouldn't mind looking into it for my new BFS rig. 11 hours ago, Finessegenics said: Two styles of finesse jigs in my mind, the actual finesse jig, think light (~ 1/8 oz) with a small, thin wire hook.

Kenny Yi Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 i like to use "finesse cut skirt" jigs as opposed to "finesse" jigs, Siebert Sniper jig is amazing but im also a fan of the Santone Lures Texas Finesse jig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass Rutten Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Booyah’s baby boo jig. It’s not a finesse jig in the traditional sense, It’s got a 60 strand skirt and a head shape that’s more of a flipping style, but it’s compact with a light wire hook and comes in 3/16 & 5/16. It comes through grass and vegetation really good. What I love most about it is they cost $2.79 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good 5/16 is hard to find! 5/16oz poured in a Doit mold with a 4/0 32798 Mustad hook. Seibert can make you some of these as they are simple. Skirt is 44 strands of standard green pumpkin. Allen For finesse jigs like the Booyah ones I make these. They are 3/16oz finesse heads from Fishingskirts.com with fine cut skirt material from the same place. All you need to make them is a $5 skirt tool for the skirts. Allen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
