We do get complacent, fall into a rut.
I keep a jig tied on always. If I am getting bit on a worm or a crankbait I will throw the jig in there. I haven't caught a giant on a jig yet but I did catch a 15 and six more over 12.
Dang that's awesome. What are your favorite jigs ? I tie then on and wind up cutting them off .

Santone lures is having a pretty darn good sale on their jigs. I bought a couple dozen last week. the cost was slightly higher than what I can make them for.... so it was a win win.

Jig fishing is like Froggin. It's either on or it's not.

Depending on what style of jig and what skirt pattern you tie (finesse) or how you present it to them what depth time of year structure there holding rock brush isolated structure long points with slopping drops or even steep drop offs.

There are more ways to tie skirting material on your jig heads now days. For me tying different skirt patterns come easy on all the bait I produce. Depending time of year which lake im fishing. Color patterns very throughout the year and accent colors make a big difference in some of the lakes I fish. Bucktail jigs are one of my favorite winter time jig There are several pattern you can also tie use accents in silicone round rubber flashabou adding to the bucktail itself. Building my own I get the quality out of everything I build.
