Default My new found excitement. . .

Oooooo man. I use to love burning a crankbait. . .I think the crankbaits can now step aside and let the jig and trailerdo some talkin'.

I was able to fish a few new jigs I bought up at Bass Pro Shop. I enjoyed slowing down my presentation and working the bottom. It seems as though I can feel the structure better with a jig as opposed to a Texas rig.

I can see why it is deadly combo. Though I didn't land any huge largemouth, I was able to manage to mistakenly hook into a carp with an olive colored jig and pumpkin trailer. Boy did that give me the fight of the day. It wasn't a huge carp, around 5-6 lbs, but it fought like solid size bass.

Anyone else seem to enjoy fishing a jig? What is your favorite color scheme or trailer to use?

Fishing a jig was something completely new and really had me excited.

Also, what size rod and action do you like to use when fishing a jig?
