Dutch Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I've been reading about this unique jig head and am thinking about buying a mold. Before I take the plunge I thought I'd check here and see who is using it, how you are rigging, what you are rigging and how it is producing. Any info and especially pics would be greatly appreciated.
Quillback Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I've been using them quite a bit when the water is warm. My favorite setup would be a 1/2 oz weight with a 4/0 EWG hook fishing a beaver or creature type bait on it.
Seth Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I tried them last year on the rivers and had so-so luck. In my mind, I figured I would slay the smallies in the warmer months when they are in the riffles but it didn't produce nearly as well as I had hoped. Beavers, chigger craws, paca craws and small brush hogs are what I had attached. The brush hog seemed to produce the best for me.
Quillback Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Yep Biffle Bugs are great, and I also really like the Megastrike Megabug.
Quillback Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Another thought, you can pitch the swing jig/creature setup around docks like you would a jig also. Sometimes it works pretty well.
5bites Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I like them quite a bit. For some reason mid year I put it down. No idea why. I made a mold out of a football jig mold. I twist the hook hanger 90 degrees so I can run a split ring on my hook and use owner rigging hooks.
