snagged in outlet 3 Posted February 22 Posted February 22 I got out early with a plan to hit south facing banks I looked at on Google maps. Water temp was generally 45 everywhere. First bank nothing. Second one nothing. Heading to 3 rd one I saw shad flitter on the surface. Dropped the troller and tried jerks and cranks. My favorite way to fish. Nothing. Went to the little guy. PBnJ. Bam I’m hooked up! I caught several going down the bank in I assume 8-10’ of water. I don’t even have a depth finder. I guess I got away from them so went back to where I started. Dirt zinkerz on 1/8 ounce @Jadesjigs jig head. Bam on again! Thanks @Dutchand @Quillback! Water temp was 51 when I left. Caught 8 all around 14-16 inches. Fun morning. Saw around 20 boats. All way offshore and all head down TV fishing except two guys sitting on a brush pile I assume crappie fishing. FishnDave, cheesemaster, grizwilson and 8 others 11

Never have wacky rigged the Elaztech stuff. Do they stay on the hook well? I have fished Senkos wacky style, but they get torn up pretty easily. snagged in outlet 3 and Jadesjigs 2

jdmidwest Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Electrical Shrink tube works good too if you don't use rubber O rings. Don't have to heat it, just get the right size to match the worm. Tough as nails. I use gold carpet nails for my whacky heads as weight. I have always felt a little gold helps a bait.

Members Jadesjigs Posted February 23 Members Posted February 23 Thank you so much @snagged in outlet 3 and @Dutch for the kind words and wonderful support!! So glad the jigs are working for you! That wacky rig technique with our jigs is a great idea. I feel like we have some really good finesse fishing approaching the next couple of weeks - so excited! Please let me know if you guys ever need anything. Appreciate you! snagged in outlet 3, grizwilson and cheesemaster 3
