Jig 95% of the time.

50/50 between a beaver and hoodaddy

Jig right now, and a plastic with a little less action. As we get warmer, I still will use the jig but my trailer will have a lot more action, or my plastic by itself will have a lot more action. I will say this though, because I have heard it in person and online from pro's. That old school ribbon tail will work wonders. No one fishes them as much because we have so many options, like a kid in a candy store. But because we have so many options, that worm works because it is considerably less seen so compared to the beaver styles. Kind of the it has come full circle now.

If the fish will bite a jig that is my first choice over any soft plastic but sometimes they just do not want a jig and that is when I go to the plastics.

I only pitch baits, I never flip, because I just like pitching better.

I always have a Tx. rigged baby brush hog on deck because it just plain catches fish. I also pitch larger creature baits, craws and craw tubes when the fish don't want a jig.

Whatever you choose to use I think getting the lure in the water quietly is key. Good luck.

havoc pit boss always!

Never fished them are their different sizes ? If so what size do you prefer?

Before we had some many choices of creature style baits & jigs, I introduced myself to the skirted bullet weight. I didn't have any confidence in a jig at all in my early days as an angler.

Donnie Morris mad some great looking painted bullet weights that he sold around Lake Fork. He started putting skirts on them and they looked great. I would put a 3/8 oz skirted weight and tie on my fave worm hook. Then I would rig a lizard or worm on the hook.

Now everybody makes punch skirts. This is a great alternative to those of you that want to gain more confidence in a jig but don't like the fact they tend to hang up in heavy cover more than a T-rig.

Note: a 1/2 oz skirted weight fishes more like a 3/8 oz jig. A 3/8 skirted rig fishes like a 1/4 oz jig and so on.

Buy a couple punch skirts of your color choice. Rig a 3/8 or 1/2 oz tungsten bullet weight on it then tie on a good stout hook. Now rig your Baby Brush Hog on the hook.

You can buy these too but the colors & sizes are limited. Plus it is much cheaper to do it with separate components.

Now just add water. Use good heavy line of your choice and throw this into the middle of the thickest brush you can find. Don't worry too much about how pretty your flip or pitching technique is at first. Just get it into the thickest cover you can.

Now get off the interweb thingy and go fishing!!
