Ok guys when you r jigging i know the Bondy bait is a go to...I dont have any bondys YET..soon but not gonna buy any until Im more confident in jigging...I do have a ripping Dog which would be similiar IMO has two spots to hook you guys have preference on which eye to hook to? Also other than jigging Ripping Dog thought about Possible trying to Jig a bulldawg or Medussa thought 3 tail medussa really flutter on fall or even trying jigging a possiodeon...what are you guys thoughts and any tips or ideas be great...

I don't see why you couldn't jig a bulldawg or medusa, but I do think they hang a bit more than the bondy's do. The bondy baits are way easier to get out of stuck structure, I will tell you that. You basically just bounce your rod and about 8.7/10 it comes free. It's tough to build confidence in it at first, but it works, and that's what matters. Especially when traditional casting methods seem to not be working. Getcha a bondy, one more tool in the box.

Thanks guys. If you start jigging and pop a few, it will become very addicting! When I started doing it I used the largest Storm Wild Eye Shad. The two single hooks on top by themselves lost me a ton of huge fish. It was the right weight though. Tried jigging bulldawgs too but they were two light in big waves and the back hook constantly caught on the leader. So I went back to my teen years of pouring bass worms and it wasn't long before the Bondy was created. Now it has won at least 25 tourneys. I feel very fortunate and humbled to even see the thing get so big and see it discussed on forums to tell you the truth...thanks all and good luck. Jon

Absolutely you can jig Bull Dawgs and Medussa's. Although Bondy's are my favorite, I will jig pounders in the fall on the Detroit river all day.
