Good technique for tough to catch fish. Also a GREAT technique for fishing deep schools that will not come up for a topwater or spinnerbait. Nothing wrong with the technique or lure choices, just not as popular as it once was. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

Works good on PK too. Shakey head with a baby Grande Bass is a killer bait.

What about the Carolina?

Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.

I always have a c rig on deck. 100% of every trip to the lake I have one out. I may not use it every time, but I plan on using it every time. I also have a 4" senko on a wacky rig out every time. And my flipping stick.

But then again we are all fishermen so who actually tells the truth about how they caught all their fish. fish If you have a lure sponsor then that is always what you caught them on during the tournament. Just saying! Kinda like some of the tournaments won at Rayburn and Toledo they say they caught them flipping bushes but you saw them running brushpiles in 20-30 feet of water and all of their fish are laid over on their side needing to be fizzed.

we always just called it a "jiggy worm" and its worked since the '60s Al Linder used this as a kid, used to rig it with the hook exposed and tried to hang it up in the thick grass and shake it.

Take a kid out and set him up with the exposed hook. This is idiot proof because you don't worry about having it t rigged perfect and let them find out for you if its workin good while you throw something else. Kids can even tie there own jigs on with a half dozen good granny knots.

For bass fishin fathers this is the number one kid rig with worms, little swim baits, craws, tubes, flukes, live bait...

How long have people fished a simple jig anyway? Geez, now my head hurts

I don't fish them very often on light tackle, but the majority of my fish over 5 pounds in the last two years have been on one I have made by a friend. 1/4 or 3/8 oz rattling shaky head with a 4/0 EWG hook and a bigger soft plastic fished in deep structure.
