On todays trip I was determined to try 'new' things.  (things I hadn't really tried before)  Roadwarriors Fat Ika thread got me to buy a few packs and this morning on the first cast a 2 pounder nailed it.   I worked it for a bit longer but my buddy caught a couple on a black and blue jig so I switched to that.  

I've been bass fishing for more than 10 years, and for some reason I've never caught a bass on a jig.  (before today, that is)  I never threw it for more than a few casts either, I just didn't have confidence in it.  I would always go back to a t-rig or a c-rig.

I fished it for nearly an hour before I got my first hit.  I kept going slower and slower, until I was just barely moving it along...then WHAM!!!  A fat bass nailed it.  I kept crawling it super slow over brush piles in about 12 feet of water and caught several more fish.

They were wanting a really slow presentation today, so its a good thing I gave the jig another shot.  Now I'm going to have to buy a bunch of jigs

You'll soon find out that it's hard to put that jig down when you catch some fish on it.  

there will be more, trust me.  hopefully a LOT more for ya.  congrats!

Way to go, be careful though jigs are addictive and you have to learn when to put it down.

So many jigs....so little time.

Congrats.  Keep those stories coming.

Congrats!!! Now you will have to learn when to put them down like everyone already stated. Im still having that problem.
