I don't know when it started actually. When I started bass fishing in 1967 it was already a part of your tackle. Arkie bucktail jigs were the ones I remember most and a 3/8 oz was about as heavy as anyone was using. We almost always used pork since the plastic at the time was not as flexible.
We cast them back then. Dee Thomas and Dave Gliebe started the flipping craze in the mid 70's which changed bass fishing.

I always like learning about the history of things and it’s interesting to me that jigs were recognized as big bass baits as far back as the ‘60’s. I only started bass fishing in 1987 and at the time, jigs were being hyped as a new wonder lure for big bass. I guess every generation has to rediscover what the earlier ones already knew.

I got a laugh in the article where he described the spinner bait. Great article. Brought back lots of memories of fishing with my granddad. Pat Haley
