Im A Jig Man What Can I Say!

brandonjames · 08-20-06, 10:05 PM

do you fish in clear or merkey water? My brother swares by a jig but i have never used one.

RatLTrap · 08-20-06, 10:05 PM

Jigs are best bait ever.

I fish muddy/clear whatever lol. I mostly throw jigs

mack · 08-20-06, 10:14 PM

nice fish..i fish my jigs on 17 pound test big game...ive never had a break off...you should try it..

Vabass22 · 08-20-06, 10:21 PM

Big Game is pretty sweet, I use 20 for saltwater, and the one time I had a bread off, was on a 35lb+ fish. They are coming out with big game braid. I use either cajun red in 10 lb, big game in 10lb, or gamma in 8lb,

ROBZILLA · 08-20-06, 11:10 PM

Try power pro you'll never loose another fish!

RatLTrap · 08-20-06, 11:10 PM

does it work even if your line gets wrapped around a tree branch? cause thats what happend.

mack · 08-20-06, 11:13 PM

crap i didnt know you mean looping around the branch, i thought you mean rubbing against it..never had one do a full circle around a branch but have had them rub right against it..but i dont think it would break off unless the fish is 15 pounds lol

RatLTrap · 08-20-06, 11:56 PM

Well, i left the fish there lol, it was hooked around a branch, and still splashing, but i couldnt get out to him, so nothing i could do. Hope he lives.
