Jika Rig

[abkeenan]

I will also mention I have had no issues with them throwing the bait and losing fish. This was posted in another thread and thought I would post it again as the water tank test jika vs t-rig gives some perspective as to the different actions on the bait. Just skip to about 2 minutes into the video:

A buddy of mine sent me this last week...looks like a cheaper way to make a jika rig.

Nice video. Love to see other peoples take on stuff and coming up with their own ideas. Thanks for sharing.

Ok, I will start testing some when fishing. We will see how it goes. More bites from movement is always worth a try. Thanks guys.

I have not tried it yet, but from looking at the videos, it makes the bait look like it has a turkey beard. Not natural.

Think some of the "ho-hum" on this bait may come from trying to drag it like a FB jig or Biffle bug vs. using it as a tool to get down into thick stuff. Like straight down into it.

As a drag bait it is more or less the same as a bug or FB.

use the jika a lot. I don't believe you hang up as much also great for swimming any plastics including swim baits. very seldom use t rig anymore.

just put a similar size split shot about 3 inches in front of the bait. Glides around much better and doesn't look like a turkey beard. But you did not hear that from me.

Saw these on the BPS web site. Put a sinker on it and you have a sliding Jika rig.
