One of the best things I have done for my fishing is eliminating all of the junk I don't use. I used to come into threads like this and buy a few of the "recommended" items and I ended up with about 35 jigs in every color and size, head style, body style, it was dumb. I had no idea which one to use and when/where so I ended up never gaining any confidence with any of them.

Last year I removed the Plano 3700 jig box from the boat and reminded myself to Keep It Simple Stupid.



You can do exactly what you want with 1 jig and 1 trailer. Fish that jig and trailer combo until you gain confidence and then branch out from there, or better yet, don't, and you will be pleased with the results. I have stopped on 2 choices (thank you Gerald Swindle) green/brown and blue/black. I fish green/brown 95% of the time.


Buy a couple of these 3/8 Green Pumpkin:

Strike King Structure Jig

Buy a pack or two of these Green Pumpkin Sapphire:

Strike King Rage Craw

For $20 you have everything you need to get comfortable jig fishing. Fish it everywhere you would fish a soft plastic, skip it under docks, fish that 1 jig/trailer deep/shallow, everywhere. You don't need a million different trailer colors and sizes, pick one and stick with it.

The jig pictured has easily caught 100 lbs of bass and still going strong. Always tied on, trailer color never changes, just flat works.

If I were to start fishing the jig and commit to staying on it this spring what size and trailer do I use for this around beds,Pre and post spawn?
