  I wish I had remembered the bottom of the three lakes I do 90% of my bass fishing 100% from shore are almost entirely soft bottoms covered in thick silt and mud with very little rock or hard bottom Because I went out and bought well over $150 in jigs and jig trailers only to discover Id be dragging my jigs through a thick mud lake bottom which is not that productive of a presentation for jigs I made five solid dedicated all day trips to my most fished lakes to learn how to jig fish Each time it was the same three hours of jig fishing no bites jigs come back covered in bottom slime Tried greenpumpkin, Watermelon, black blue jigs 1/4oz, 5/16oz, 3/8oz and 1/2oz Then switch to any weedless soft plastic fluke or swimbait worked as a jerk bait or a bladeded jig in sane exact areas and murder the bass Bottom dragging Jigs just dont work in my thickly muddied bottom lakes closest to my home and skipping them off the bottom is ok but I catch a lot more bass using a weedless fluke worked as a jerk bait Some lakes just aren't made for bottom dragging or hopping jigs my lakes are just such lakes Im sure if I owned a boat I could find offshore areas in the lakes I fish, jigs would be very productive in but unfortunately I do not own a boat. I envy those that do

• 
  @fishden3657 күн бұрын

  There are other types of jigs. If your body of water has fallen trees or brushpiles, an arkie style jig works well there. I have weeds then a cone shaped jig should get the nod. Swimming jigs are another option.

  @@fishden365 mostly 15-20 feet and definitely on rock piles. I have not caught anything on it yet this year but I thought that it might be too early and fish are hiding in grass; but you certainly know better than me. I have given it a shot every time I go out ( usually twice a week). Hopefully it picks up. What about you this year on the swing head?

  In my experience the spinning is caused by debris and gunk getting stuck in the propeller ...soon as I cleaned it up really good the spinning stopped..not sure if that was the case with yours but maybe this can help 👍🏻 check for dried up weeds and grass

• 
  @fishden36512 күн бұрын

  Thanks, I did check for debris and found some but the bait still spun. This might be because the hooks may not have been original as I found the bait. They were small but with a long shank. Anyway, I was happy to change them out because I should get better hook ups on larger fish.
