Fishing Report

Shawncat....that might be one of my jigs lol. I broke a few off horsing them in a little to hard the other day on 2 lb test.

Pick up a few of those at DJ's there in town, they work really good even though everybody and there brother uses them down there.

I am going to tie up a couple wooly bugger jigs as I call them for this weekend. Those were killer the past few years, but I just eventually lost them all and need to tie up some more. White and black ones were all I tried, but that is all I needed, the trout hammered them.

Exactly!!!

how was this rubber laid...in the "four leg" way coming off like a spider of sorts, or were they just the "tail" and laid over the top of the chenile from the head and extending out after the turn in the hook?

I tie up some similair to what you are talking about im thinkin but i was wanting to be sure.

Im gonna be going to meramec on the 16th then montauk the 18th for the men's tournament down there. I cant wait

Four leg way.They ought to work at Montauk too.They like dark jigs there too.I have'nt tried them.Maybe Seth will tell us how he works "em".Good luck !

They only way I ever fished them was by throwing them out, wait a few seconds for it to sink, then start reeling them in slowly while bouncing my rod tip up and down.

It helps having a flimsy slow action rod. Those yellow Eagleclaw rods that a lot of people use are perfect for bouncing jigs.

Yep, I have one of those limber yeller Eagle Claw rods and they work great for jigging. However, when the water is up and murky my graphite Lightning rod detects strikes much better. The main thing with jigs is to keep them off the bottom and keep the moss off of them and work the rod tip as you bring it in. 2-lb test helps as well for further casting, better jig action and lower line visibility, but keep that drag loose or you will snap em off.
