I've always thrown jigs in the spring when fun fishing, but never had the confidence to throw them in a tournament. Then a buddy of mine was fishing one of our tournament lakes an said he killed them on a black/blue jig with a Zoom super chunk. I was forced to fish a jig if I wanted to do good. Bottom line, I caught 6 fish (3 fish limit per day) that weighed 19.5 lbs. Since that tournament I've gained the confidence to throw it at any time. Now I'm working on doing the same with a drop-shot.

Trying a different bait is like going on a diet, just got to have the will power to stick with it until you see results.
