I asked about fishing with spinnerbaits awhile back. I've only caught one bass on a spinnerbait and it was purely by accident.
But this is a question for those of you for whom the big confidence bait is a jig (football head, round head, bullet head, etc.). I'm talking about those 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 oz. monsters with big hooks and a skirt. You put a pork rind trailer or something else on the hook and toss that anchor overboard.
I picked up a bunch of jigs on sale one time, and I've tried using them, but without success.
TEACH ME!!
What types and sizes of rod/reel/line would you recommend? (not necessarily brands, but just the basics)
Presentation techniques?
Structure or environments where jigs tend to work better than other baits?
Trailer options?
Selecting colors based on temp, clarity and surface conditions?
I finally get to go fishing next month and I if I can't learn to use a jig, then I'm gonna get rid of them and use the box for some other types of baits.
