Re: need help with jig fishing
you can honestly fish a TYPE of jig in every type of situation and catch fish.
Football heads w/ craw trailers are great for open water, rocks and 'hard structure'. In weeds and sticks, move to conical shaped jig with a decent brush guard. For the nasty stuff, get a 1/2-3/4oz cone-shaped jig and flip it to holes in the pads or into heavy brush. Any place you would fish a moving bait, try a swim jig with a yammamoto curly tail grub or a swim senko trailer.
A black n blue jig with a pork frog trailer is always a tried and true pattern for BIG fish.
A few tips that will help your catch rate
1. trim the skirt to within a couple millimeters of the bottom of the hook.
2. Trim back the brush guard so that it is just a hair longer than the hook point, the thick factory brush guards often make it hard to keep a fish stuck.
