I'm not sure what it's called. I got it for Christmas a couple years ago, so it either came from Walmart or Academy. If I can find it in store to get the make and color I will report back.

 

Depending on the brand, that is basically pumpkinseed purple.  PB&J is a common name for it.  Dirty jigs has 'purple pond bug' for one.

Howdy, it is a Zoom Z hog JR. I like it quite a bit. I've also fished it just as a creature bait.

Thank you! What color are those jigs? I really like them!

Jigs come out with me pretty much every kayak trip. From the shore, I usually stick to Trigs.

 

Some tricks for getting hits on jigs.

 

When you’re fishing lily pads, before you throw the frog throw your jig on top of the lily pads on the edge and let it sit a minute, then gently drag it off so it’s in the water alongside, not in the lily pads - and be ready to set the hook and turn that fish’s head out of the lily pads. If there’s a good amount of fish under those pads there’s like a 70% chance the first time lands you one, but less each following cast.

 

The second guaranteed way to get fish is if you can find a weedline, cast your jig right along the weedline.

 

Hope this helps continue to build confidence.

The first jig was a basic pumpkin seed. I don't know the brand, it was gifted to me. The second jig with purple is a homemade. I met a fellow at the lake a few years back that gave me 4-5 jigs and this was one of them.
