    Jigs (Casting/Structure)

    Looking for any suggest for casting jigs or structure jigs. I want to that I can cast and drag around rocks (rip-rap), docks and bottom structure. I am wanting to drag more these days.

    These are the only ones that I've found (so far; tried a whole bunch) that make it through and over Lilypads.. These don't get 'stuck' in the ' V ' of the frond. They're 'free swinging'

    I’ve been extremely happy with the tungsten jigs I got from Heavy Metal Fishing.

    .......This. I will also try to keep the jig moving slowly along the bottom when fishing rip rap. I think that keeps it from falling into the deep crevices between the rocks.

    Id suggest watching kyle welchers youtube video on why he fishes certain jigs. I took some of his advice on which jigs i choose and have actually noticed a difference in hookup ratio and how the fish are hooked. He pointed out some things to me id never really thought about even though ive always thrown a jig quite a bit
    They aint got hands, set the hook

    for what you describe I always reach for a ball head jig. for me it's a jack of all trades jig. just don't expect to toss it into shallow heavy cover and it come through. i reach for a different jig for that.
