Question about fishing jigs

Featured Replies

I just recently purchased a few different jigs, mostly black or brown with a scattering of blue, purple or red. A couple are football heads. I have no idea how to fish these though and could you all the help possible.

Also, what kind of trailers work best. I have a bunch of extra plastic worms 4 and 5 inch that i wanted to try as trailers along with some sizmic plastic frogs. Are these any good?

for football jigs either slowly reel in along the bottom or drag them in open water near rocks.  for flippin jigs flip and pitch them in heavy cover and lightly hop(warmer months) drag (winter) and/or shake them.

for trailers try strike king 3x chunks or ragetail chunks the 3x ones last almost forever.

I would use trailers that displace a lot of water, paca chunks, speed craws, and things like that work well. I suggest craw type trailers because if your fishing a jig on the bottom chances are the bass thinks it a crawdad.

Any type of trailer that moves water will work. But also have in the back of your mind the color of the bait during certain times of the year. Blue/black work well year round for me, I like to use black/red for fall and PB&J colors this time of year. But that is what works on my home body of water. It may not work for you.
