hey i recently started fishing jigs hoping to get real good at using them and i have been getting alot of moss and junk from off the bottom and i was wondering if this was normal or if there is something i can do to prevent this. Thx!

warbird,
try a weedless tube, the new whizbang mossgreen/brown tube comes with whizbang enzymes that naturally dissolve all moss/slime/algae that it comes in contact with..
hope that helps

What is moss ? We get a green algae slime looking stuff here, but it only covers the jig as you pick the jig up through the weeds,picking up the green gunk on the retrieve. if you do not take the time to clean it off the jig, the next pitch, or flip the jig will fall faster than the green gunk will through the water leaving a clean jig again, only to pick up another batch of green gunk on the next retrieve.I use smelly jelly on my jigs, it allows the jig to slip through the weeds better than any other scent I have tried.If you buy the smelly jelly, try the Craw daddy, or Bass Hammer scent.

The only time I clean the green gunk off the jig is if its been sun dried on the jig , , it will crumble to a powder making it easier to remove than when its fresh from the water.
