Jigs

[T]

I have always have used Cabela's live bait short shanked jigs for worms, leeches and minnows (for back home). Its Cabela's brand of the fireball jig. However, Cabela's has now discontinued them.  I was wondering what is everyone's favorite jig.

I just buy the roundhead jigs that are a deal on e-bay.

I buy the plain lead and paint them up myself with powder coat paint.
Very simple.
Head them up with a candle, dip them, give them a tap to knock off the loose powder then bake them for 15 minutes at 350 in the oven.

I just use round unpainted jigs.
One day I'll paint my own but have had good success with unpainted.

A red hook and a leech works fine for me.

this is my favorite style of jig. I've had great success using it the lead sits on the bottom while the worm/leech dangles in the water. The standard ball head works almost as well. I've noticed the color is largely irrelevant on most days. So I stick to green or yellow.

As I have mentioned previously, a few years ago I switched to using Fin-tech Nuckle Ball jigs and Fin-tech Nuckle Ball Zone R jigs. Based on my own experience, I have no reason to use a different jig. And they are not expensive - a Nuckle Ball six pack varies between 6 and 8 dollars depending on size.

Just a reminder and slight request when ordering from Cabelas or any other advertisers on our site, if you would go through the links on the forum here, it helps defray the expenses of hosting the forum. Doesn't cost you any more, but helps cut the costs. Thanks.

I've always been a charteuse guy for walleye.

But last few years I get asked to grab Bulk load of jigs... watching 6 guys in a boat snag after snag I just buy plain lead, no colour... saves a ton of $$$ and I haven't noticed a difference in hookups.
