Jigging For Largemouth

Jigging can be done with a variety of different baits , usually with a lead-head jig or a jigging spoon . Jigging spoons have a heavy body and sink fast , so they are great for jigging for bass in deep waters . You can use these jigs in waters that are 40 feet deep or more .With their long , thin shape they look like an injured minnow in the water . If you get a snag in heavy cover let some slack in your line and the weight of the spoon will usually pull the hook free.

Lead-head jigs are available in many different head shapes,each one serving a certain purpose. Jigs are tipped with various dressings such as feathers , rubber skirts , and soft-plastic trailers .

Jigs are most often fished by dragging them along the bottom slowly . There are several popular types of jigs and jigging baits. Some of these are the weedless jig ,the football-head jig , the slider jig ,and the jigging spoon . Use the weedless jig to avoid getting hung up in weedy areas . Use the football-head jig for a crayfish like action on a rocky bottom . A slider jig is for working weed tops , and a jigging spoon is used for vertical jigging in deep waters .
