Jigging bait attracts attention with a fairly simple way of wiring, gambling and large specimens that can be caught with a successful selection of the bait. It is not necessary to check all the tackle in a row - you can choose the best jig lures based on the experience of experienced fishermen.
The best jig baits for pike
The Manns Spirit is made of soft silicone with a powerful tail plate and long keel fin. In the water, it makes active movements with its tail, complementing it with a small play of wavy fins, which is very attractive for predators - pike and perch. Among the disadvantages is the windage when casting, which makes it difficult to throw it further than 5 meters. However, fishing from a boat in a deep hole near the shore is convenient.
The large 4.5-inch Salt Shaker models differ from Spirit both geometrically and in material. It is made of denser silicone, thanks to which it holds much better on the hook and practically does not suffer from pike teeth. When mounted on a jig, the body remains stationary during the drive, and the tail wags. If you fix it on a hinge, it will still wavy yaw in different directions.
Full size 5FG Action Plastic jig heads for long, precise long distance casts. They are best used with offset hooks or double hooks in hinged rigs. Sufficiently soft silicone promotes active movement of the bait in the water, but quickly deteriorates. This disadvantage is more than compensated for by the low cost of the jig bait.
In strong currents, it is better to choose fleshy and denser models, for example, the three-inch Relax TVR. The wide tail gives excellent confident play even when driving slowly and in hooked areas.
The best jig lures for walleye
The Manns Flipper provides a graceful, sophisticated play with a fluttering tail. She is very fond of the pike perch living in distant pits, reed fields. For long casts, it is convenient to use it in combination with heavy weights, in the so-called heavy jig. A movable tail is at the same time its disadvantage, as it quickly remains in the teeth of a predator.
Out of competition, the Yamamoto hula Grub twister with an original shape with two tails. It can be mounted on a special flipping jig head or an offset hook with a metal front load. The Yamamoto hula Grub, thanks to the sail skirt, gives a seductive vertical guidance, but because of it it does not fly too far and accurately.
