Beercan you say your fishing bass,them sound more like pike baits to me.What size of bass are you reeling in with them?
Bassfishingnerd what type of trailer do you prefer?
I could probably write a book on the pig-n-jig and trailers. Here is my basic rules:
If I'm pitching around tight cover such as trees or docks in murky water, I usually will use something with a large profile such as a Zoom Big Salty Chunk or the large Uncle Josh in black or black/blue flake. If it's stained or clearer water, I go to black/brown with watermelon or craw color.
If swimming a jig in any color water, I use a Zoom swimmin' chunk or my "mystery" trailer in black/brown, black/blue, or watermelon.
In super clear water on weed edges I use black/brown with a watermelon trailer with a laminate colored grub trailer.
Over the last four years I've caught 80% of my fish on the pig-n-jig. It is usually the first thing I pick up, but I know when to put it down. :)
Thanks. I like the info, but I think it raised more questions. Like do you always have a contrasting jig skirt and the trailer? What about the weights of the jigs? Or the jig head types? I know that I look at the weedless jigs and think. Wow! How's a fish supposed to get past that weed guard.. Do you trim that down? I have seen people do it and I know I would feel like I have to.
See learn a little and ask more, I am a very detailed person and that helps get up to speed, but it all helps me dial in on the fish and different techniques.
Thanks..
