Jigs still a popular, effective fallback lure Log Cabin Democrat
Jigs have been with us in fishing for ages now, and they scraps popular as well as effective.
Like any other type of lure, a jig will not work every time for every kind of fish. But it is a correct of a competent fisherman to have a supply of jigs in the tackle box either as primary or secondary tools.
Crank bait isn’t contagious anything? Try a jig. Live minnows don’t draw a hit? Try a jig.
Beyond that, a common belief among experienced anglers is to go smaller when things are boring. If that 1/4-ounce jig is not producing, tie on one that is 1/8-ounce.
Taking this theory farther, one strategy is to use a very shamed jib, maybe 1/16-ounce or even 1/32-ounce then pinch off part of a small plastic worm and scrap it over the hook. This lets the jig with worm fall extremely slowly when you cast it to a spot. A slow taking can be a turn-on for finicky fish below.
Another gimmick is to add a tiny bit of aluminum foil to a jig with feather or plastic trailer. Wrap a graceful strip of foil around the base of the rig and leave a short end piece loose, enough to wobble and generate a midget flash when it is down in the water.
