what do you look for in your jigs.

I am very picky about my jigs and the things that I look for are as follows: 1. HOOK!!!!!!! If it does not have a good hook then I will not even give it a second glance. What is a good hook……..HEAVY and at least a 4/0 2. Will this jig come through the roots and weeds? IE…A pointed shape that will lay flat with the plastic pointed up is the best that I have used. 3. Weight….I like a 5/16 the best and that is hard to find these days. 4. Colors…Black/Blue, Black Neon, Watermelon, Watermelon Red, Bull Bream 5. As long as the weed guard is longer than the hook sticks up, I can trim to the way I like it. This is specs I like to see while fishing the cypress jungles. ElwoodElwood…..Bass Cat Proud

One word…Jewel Jigs…actually that is two words. Most copied jigs on the market.

I have yet to find the perfect jig that I can buy at a store; therefore, I choose to make my own jigs set up the way that I like them. The most important thing in a jig, in my opinion, is the hook. You have to have a hook that is big enough to do the job and extremely sharp. I will say, however, that the best jig that I have found in a pack are the Eakins jigs. The funny thing is that one of the Bass Cat employees has been making this jig long before it ever hit the market. Everyone may copy a Jewel jig but those guys are copying this particular BCB employees jig.Andy Greene Greene Boat & Motor 828-286-2290 http://www.greeneboats.com

Jewel makes a good jig but I started making my own a couple years ago just to save some $ and I cannot tell any difference on how many fish I put in the boat ( which is not very many) I have about 0.75 in a jig compared to 2.50 that gives me about $200 a year BCB $ or latley it has been gas $.
