Thread: Bad jigs ?

I’ve seen fish caught on a little of nothing. A Popeye looking jig with three strands of kiptail left on it. Bass are really dumb, they’ll hit anything? Caught one about two pounds on a inch and a quarter inch piece of a plastic worm, absolutely no movement except the retrieve speed.

Did not know you can catch them on yarn, time to go to BPS ( Belly button Pro Shop )

Years ago, my dad and I were salmon fishing, floating salmon eggs and live sand shrimp under bobbers. We ran out of shrimp so dad pulls a foam ear plug out of his tacklebox and says he'll hook one on it. He soaked it in the water/juice from the shrimp box, casts out and BAM bobber down. Dang I miss fishing with him. If the fish were there he'd find a way to make them bite.

All you guys bragging that you can catch a crappie on anything, I've got a challenge for you!

That would be hard to spot unless you were looking for it.

We’re you fishing with anyone? Buddy was doing better then me at the dock and getting a little to Braggy about it so first time he put his pole down to go get a coffee I snipped the barb off his hook. He missed 4 or 5 fish which I said was the result of a weak hook set before he figured it out.

it was on fire and i was ripping one day and then it started to be a lose lots of them thing , sure enough it seemed somehow the hook broke at that exact spot , but it also was a situation where about 1/3 of the fish that hit it still got landed , just saying

my bud and I once took up a challenge to ketch crappie on "lil fisheez " right out of the bag from Sweden , went quite well actually ....
