After your done with a jig....reuse or trash?
I was curious what you guys do when your done with a jig and go to switch.......let's say you fished with the jig a bit but no luck and want to swap colors and it's still in good shape. Do you put it back to reuse again or do you trash it? I find sometimes even though the bait is in good shape on the outside once you rig it once the wire keeper/collar of the jig kind of messes up the inside integrity and makes the next time you use the bait "not snug" when rigged. Wanted to hear your all's opinions.

I always save my jigs for losing on brush another time......
I do let any hand tie jigs dry before putting back in a box.

On the soft plastics I usually cut the head off which leaves a smaller bait but new area to hook plastic to.

I pitch them, I figure fishing time is valuable enough to use a few stingers per trip, not anything like the lifelike crankbaits that cost 25$ or more each. I don't move the boat to mess with a snag either, break it off, and tie a new one. I have fished in the big round rocks where if a fish doesn't get it first, it probably will only last one or two casts.
