Brand of Jigs/Trailers
What brand of Jigs do you guys like the most, and in what colors for murky water? What about Jig trailers? Thanks!!

I'd have to say that Stanley has probably made the most of its money selling jigs, and I have bought many of thiers, however
once you really get in to jig fishing you buy dif. jigs on the dif. characteristics of each. The shape of the lead head, be it round, horsehead, mushroom or other , plus diferences in skirts, and colors, and material. I wouldnt go to the river with out a hair jig, whereas a big lake I prefer a black and blue rubber skirt. I started with Uncle Josh pork and also use many craw plastic trailers..they all have a dif fall rate and are fun to mix n match. If more young anglers would just think of the jig bite like their ol fav. worm bite, more would use them with confidence |

kh, Lonnie Stanley is a Texas Bass Pro that started making jigs and still does, but has expanded into spinnerbaits and most recently, soft plastics, with the Ribbit Frog being the newest. Nice guy, too. I've known him for several years.

do you have to match the color of the jig trailer to the jig or can you mix and match?

I usually match the color, but on the flip side there are no hard and fast rules-best way to find out is to try it.

There hasn't been a Stanley jig around my area in years.I don't know why no one sells them any more. I don't go to great lengths to make sure the trailer matches the jig skirt.profile and fall rate are more important than matching colors.P N J

I aint a big person by most peoples standards just older and wiser. Now ifn you talkin fishin he better do his homework and be ready I gotta few tricks up my sleeve that I dont know if he has had the opportunity to try. A tourney between me and zook would be VERY interesting and well worth being a spectator on cause the others that tried to participate well....... WOULDN'T STAND A CHANCE. LOL |

well seeing laser stands 5'8'' and pushing 225 pounds-conservative-with the average reach of 28". i stand 6'5'' 340 pounds have a reach of 33" it would be a totally unfair advanatage for me as being 9" taller i could propel the spinner bait farther with better accuracy. while keeping my line of sight farther ahead..also laser is used to fishing heavily vegatated waters. and i fish weed free enviroments.. too differant schools of techiques are used for fishing. recently spoke with a man from L.A. -baton rouge- after fishing the same lake for 6 months he has not figured out the bass here in nc.. think about it..

Being a steel worker, I am amazed at some of my buddies that have huge forearms, can really throw a bait like a spinnerbait a long way.
I think endurance on the water is more due to conditioning, adding time on the water each time until a 8-10 hour day is no sweat! When I go out the first time in spring I can last about 45 minutes of constant casting without getting tired, and within a few weeks can build up to 2-3 hours, where at the end of the season like now, I can stay out all day no sweat. Course, if ya worm fish or slow fish, its not nearly as hard on your casting arm and the dreaded "lobster claw" hand afterwords lol..anyone ever get that ? |

Take advantage of that youth while you have it. And I do admire you guys for having it. I am 64, my friend is 63 and we still have our little contest. Our casting ability is not like it was a few years back, and we can't pitch and flip like we once did. But we still manage to lay it on each every week or so. He bought him a new Shimano bait caster and new rod. He was showing off his new under hand roll cast, but his 63 year old mind forgot to release the thumb bar on his new Shimano and it seperated from his hand, it went into the drink. He blamed it on to having carpal tunnel syndrome. He will not admit that he has lost his youth. Do we love fishing? Yes we do. We fished Thr, Fri and Sat in the Alligator. Caught lots of fish on spooks and spinner baits. He knew I had fallen in the drink about two weeks back, so he brings a seat belt for me. And I just had to return the favor. I brought a small puppy leash with me, tied it to his rod and to his right casting wrist. I said all that to say this. We may not be as young as you fellows. But we still have alot of fun trying to be. Stay young and healthy. And happy fishing.
