Jig. I like to fish for big bass and nothing catches more big fish than a jig.

I fish a 4" chompers finesse worm 75% of the time on a dropshot. It will catch every fish that swims.... the only problem is that there are a LOT more small fish than larger fish... A jig, as Mr Fouzman stated is the only consistent lure I have used to catch quality fish.

I have a few jigs...but haven't had any luck with them. I have 1/2 oz booyah, watermelon. I trailed it with a watermelon baby brush hog. No luck yet.

Any tips from you pros?

Depends on the time of year and depth I'm fishing. When the water is cold and fish aren't aggressive, I'll throw a 1/4 oz. finesse jig with an Uncle Josh Big Daddy Pork Frog. As the water warms, I'll move up to a 3/8 oz and switch to plastics for trailers. 1/2 oz. is what I throw most in warm weather unless I'm fishing really deep. Then I'll throw a football jig as heavy as 1.5 oz with a plastic trailer.

Favorite plastic trailers are Rage Craws, Grande Bass craws and LFT HyperFreaks.

Favorite colors for jigs are blk/blu, pb&j, greens, browns and white (if I'm swimming it or stroking it trying to immitate shad). As for trailer colors, sometimes I will match the jig and trailer and others I will go with a color completely different than the jig. Again, that depends on what I'm trying to imitate with my jig plus on-the-water observation as to what color combos work best that day.

My favorite baits for LMB would be Jig's and Spinners!

Jig's because there easy to use and come in a variety of color's and style's And spinners for the same reason .

Favorite bait is a buzzbait or top water popper because of the visual explosion.

Most effective bait is a 5" to 7" plastic worm, rigged on a shakey head or Texas rigged, because you can catch numbers and size on a worm.



In memory of my childhood friend Dan Sterling, who taught me at an early age how to catch bream with a hand-line, and who unknowingly hooked me on fishing for life.

Favorite? A jig. Most consistent? Probably a spinnerbait or squarebill.
