Santone, Viper XP and V & M are my favorite brands of jigs.

Black/blue or black/blue/purple
Green pumpkin/orange, green pumpkin/blue or green pumpkin/purple
Peanut butter N Jelly

Those are the colors I use most.

Zoom speed craw
Grande bass craw
Xcite craw
V & M craw
Netbait baby paca craw
Strike rage craw

Those are the trailers I like best.

Fish the finesse jig and the pitching jig like you would a Tx.rig and fish a football head jig like you would a Carolina rig.

Watch your line because sometimes they will pick it up and you won't feel anything but your line will be moving. That is usually a good fish. The smaller ones still thump it pretty good.

3/8th ounce black and blue jig on flouro... and take everything else out, have lots of jigs and chunks... go play with it. Swim it, drag it hop it skip it flip it... you'll get bit

I love V&M swim jigs. I catch big fish on them. 3/8 oz is a good all around weight with a keitech or rage swimmer or similar trailer (around 3" long). I usually am using a shad color pattern most of the time. Sometimes bluegill and every now and then black and blue.

Strike King skipping jig, hack attack structure jig and football jigs are also ones I use for flipping, brush piles, rocks, docks, tree shade, etc. 1/4 oz-1/2 oz. 3/4 oz when deep water and wind call for it.

Picked up a couple mop jigs about a week ago but haven't used them much yet.


If you can't find em wind em.

Sometimes they want a jig and anything you throw will work...irrespective of trimming skirt or weight or whatever. But if you're forcing a jib bite, my confidence is the G Man Ballin out jig. It's really a finesse jig. Gerald Swindle fishes it 3/365.

Do this. The next time you are on a good bite on a T-rig, pull out a jig that is similar in color to the soft plastic you are catching them on. There are a ton of good jigs on the market now. A good rule of thumb is 3/8 oz in shallow water 4-8 feet. In 8-15' I would use 1/2 oz.

The Booyah A-Jig is a good inexpensive jig and it has a rattle. It is pretty snag resistant and has a good stout hook. I like watermelon-pumpkin color with a WM red flake trailer. Don't overthink it. A jig will get a bigger bite normally than a T-rig. Try it out.
