Description
Round Unpainted Jighead (1/8oz) are perfect for fish that are small through large. That bigger bait, with all its action and water displacement is perfect for slightly stained conditions. As summer begins to where into the fall, then the swim jig bite tends to diminish some. Well, it goes from crazy to just good. Water temperature is the first factor. I’ll throw a swim jig anytime the water temperature is between 50 and 75 degrees. In my mind that’s in the very early pre-spawn all the way through the shad spawn. The water needs to be warm enough to make the fish active so that’s why I pick 50 degrees.
The main difference between a standard casting jig and a jig designed for swimming is the head design. Swim jigs feature a pointed nose with a vertical line tie so the lure swims through the water column and easily slips through cover. Bass jigging works best when lunkers are holding near shallow cover such as grass, rocks, laydowns, and docks. Fishing a jig in deeper water is productive in the summer and winter time or when baitfish have moved offshore.
Usage:
When skipping a swimbait around shallow like when fishing docks, a weighted swimbait hook is the ticket. You can fish the jighead, but a swimbait skips so much better with a belly weighted hook tucked into the bait. Start with braid and a fluorocarbon leader of a few feet in length, joined by an Albright Special or Uni-to-Uni knot. This offers you the best ability to feel the jig, while still having some stealth with the nearly translucent fluorocarbon line up against the jig itself.
Round Unpainted Jighead (1/8oz) can be fished near docks, brush, weeds/grass, and lily pads/pad stems that are situated on flat, shallow spawning areas. They are murder on panfish, walleye, and bass. Swim jigs can quickly cover vast areas on a spawning bed with a simple swimming retrieve. Bass can be sight fished with jigs this time of year as well.
This purchase is for a pack of ten (10) unpainted jig heads.
