What pig and jigs should I buy?

[Bumblebee110]

1. black and blue is a good choice but if i only had two i go with.
A) Green pumkin- clear to stained water
B) Brown - heavy stained to muddy


2. I would suggest a 3/8 and 1/2. since you are fishing a smaller bodys of water maybe a 1/4 and 3/8.

3. i just use green punkin on all my trailers. any trailer will work but i use the sr paca craw or reg paca craw.

4. use a sent or dip pinchers in a dye scent.

On Ky Lake, i do decent with a black and blue jig, however, I catch very few smallmouth on that color (almost none). I seem to do much better for smallmouth with more natural colors: Green Pumpkin, Browns, and a little orange never hurt. I also have found that a little chartruse can make a world of difference in targeting smallmouth.

BC Lures Jigs. Black&Blue with Black & Blue Zoom swimmin chunk, Summer Craw, Tennessee Orange Craw & Cumberland Craw with a Rootbeer Pepper Green swimmin chunk & the tails dyed chartreuseon all trailers at night. Smallies love them

[Bobby Headrick]

In small streams, creeks etc use a shakey head and a Zoom spped craw, dip in chart or orange spike it. and have fun.

Thanks guys! You have given me alot to digest. Can I fish this rig in lakes all summer long or is this only for early season?

I use jigs all summer long. They are probably the most versatile bait available. You can almost use them anywhere/anytime.

Go with 1/8 or 1/4 oz. jigs. Match up different colors with chunks until you find what works. The NetBait Paca Craws are hard to beat.

Try this soft plastic combo for great action... Buy some Reaction Innovation 4.20 or Smallie Beavers. Match them up with an 1/8 oz Chomper stand up jighead. This is a killer combo in the creek. I prefer the California 4.20, Sprayed Grass or Balck w/ red flake.. Fish 2.5" or 4" tubejigs as well. They are hard to beat.

Good luck!

Strike kings bitsy jigs work great also. Greenpumpkin or black and blue. with net bait trailers in matching colors. especially for smallies.

Forgot about the Bitsy Jig. Good call! That's a good jig and won't break you to buy a good supply.
