Jigs for trout:

[AndyS]

To this day I am still amazed at the fish I catch with jigs. Think of saltwater and what can be caught on jigs- tuna, pollock, weakfish, stripahs, fluke and so on.
An experienced fly fisherman handed me a jig one day and it has been a game changer ! I am such a hack with lures but found a lure that is easy to use and inexpensive. You can then start to work with colors, head sizes, shapes, and weights. Football head, glider head, spoon head, you name it.
I feel like I can conquer the world with a 3/32 black marabou jig with a #6 hook, yes #6. Seems like a large hook, but for some reason it's not.
The jigs go where the fish are, just cruising off the bottom.
I can work jigs through slow pockets, deep holes, fast water, you name it.

JIGS WORK !!!
