Location: New Jersey | Anyone have tips for fishing jigs? I hear a few of the more seasoned guys in my club talk about them a lot. Sometimes I feel like I could produce a bite on tough days if I stuck it out and fished the weeds with jigs. Do you swim them through the weeds or drop and reel? What kinds of jigs/trailers do people use and do you use a leader? I feel like the times I have tried them I get weeds stuck on the leader. Any help is great. |

| If you search youtube there are some good videos of bondy baits which are a jig type bait for musky. |

Location: New Jersey | Great article. Thanks for the feedback. This is what I was asking about, jig fishing in the weeds, not vertical jigging. |

I think the biggest paddle tail I pour is about 8.5-9". I also have a flipp-in tail wangler creature that stretches to about 9"...also I do have cork that can be put in tail from 1/4-1/2 inch size. BUT, there is a plastic now that has air bubbles in , that will certainly make your large plastic creatures float... And probably very even... :) I used to take a hypodermic Needle and inject air in plastic as it setup... The crazy things we do to catch these fish.:) I probably could get the maker of the Hellkat to make a floater. That's a big creature JD |
