Jig Head Fishing
Jig Head Fishing
how do you fish a jig with a head on it and slip on a 3 inch worm with q squigly tail! what is the best tech.?
As I can tell by your question, you already know that large and small mouth bass are very picky when it comes to presentation. To answer your question, whatever works. Try different techniques. No one technique will always work. Finding what works is called the pattern, and the pattern changes according to weather conditions, water temperature, moon phase, and several other factors. Using a jig in the wrong conditions will not yield any bass, regardless of the retrieve that you use. Jigs can be fished very slowly when bass are sluggish in cold water. Plus, their compact size matches the smaller forage bass prefer in winter and early spring. Jigs are the best of all bass lures for probing brushpiles, thick weedbeds, submerged trees and other dense cover in shallow water. In cover, they are effective in both cold and warm water. Jigs can be worked slowly down sloping banks and ledges. The rate of fall can be varied by changing the jig weight and/or size of trailer. Fishing pressure can make bass retreat to dense cover and slow to bite. However, a pressured bass can be coaxed into biting a jig presented right in its face. Here are some pointers for working these lures in thick wood or weeds: 1. Rate Of Fall. As a rule of thumb, fish react better to a slower fall in cold/clear water and a faster fall in warm/murky water. To make a jig fall more slowly, you can either use a lighter jig, a bigger pork or plastic trailer, or larger diameter line. To make a jig fall faster, use a heavier jig, switch to a smaller trailer or fish the lure on smaller diameter line. 2. Color. Color is very important in jig fishing. Often fine tuning your color presentation shows immediate, positive results. In muddy water, try combinations of black, chartreuse or pumpkin. In stained water, try black and blue. In clear water, use smoke gray, watermelon or pumpkin. Flake colors also work best in clear water. Use pink in muddy water, white when bass are on a shallow shad bite. 3. Shake It. When working a jig through dense cover, gently shaking the rod tip will provide all the action the lure needs as well as help nudge it out of tight spots so it doesn’t hang up. Avoid tightening down on a jig that’s hung up in branches or grass; it’ll usually stay hung and you’ll have to go in and retrieve it, thereby spooking any fish in the area. Instead, shake the rod tip and the lure will free itself. Many strikes occur as a hung jig works free and scoots away from an object. 4. Focus. When working the jig in dense cover, try to focus on what the jig is doing. You must envision the lure hopping, crawling and nudging its way through and around branches, roots, weeds, etc. Losing this focus will mean missed bites. Set the hook immediately when a bite or and unusual resistance is detected. 5. To Rattle Or Not. The current trend is to use a rattling jig. However, many anglers believe bass can become conditioned to the noise and learn not to bite these lures. In theory, a rattle works best in low visibility water. When in doubt, a quiet jig is always a safe choice.
Have fun and tight lines.

Crappie Jigs
When you begin looking into crappie fishing, you may have noticed the wide range of bait available. While there is no substitution for live bait the most popular artificial bait is by far the crappie jig.
Ther are literally thousands of varieties of jigs that are available for crappie fishing. While some fisherman swear by a certain type, color, or size, but the smart fisherman’s tackle box contains a variety. Each unique situation you find yourself in should warrant a different type of jig.
Different Types of Jigs
Bodies – The body of the jig comes in a variety of types including rubber, plastic, marabou, hair, rubber bands, floss, tinsel, chenille, and many other types of materials.
Tails – curly tails, ripple tails, broad tails and triple tails
Heads – lead heads, floating heads, diving heads and standing heads.
Colors – Red, blue, silver, pink, orange, white, green, and clear, just to name a few.
If you have trouble picking out the types of Crappie jigs you want initially, there are many stores that will provide you with pre made kits that include varying colors, types, and sizes of Crappie jigs. This way you do not have to guess what is best. Once you use each type within the kit, you can then go back to the store and buy the specific types that worked the best for you.
Advantages When Using Jigs
Since each part of a jig is separate, you can add variety to your bait by using different color heads, with different colors bodies and tails. The number of different colors variations are almost endless.
Jigs also make it easy to change bait. Simply change the body on the jig head and you are finished. Another advantage is the fact that new bait does not have to be tied on each time you catch a fish. This is especially important when you are trolling or using more then one pole at a time. Otherwise, you may find yourself in an overwhelming situation, having to mange poles in the water, reel in fish on these poles, and tie on new bait at the same time.
Perhaps the biggest advantage: jigs never die. By a slight twitching or pulling motion, your jig will come alive with motion each and every time.
You’ve just got to learn how to make your jig look “natural” in movement. Simulating the natural movement of bait fish is how jigs are built, and you can enhance this by the “technique” you use to fish with them.
