Some areas I fish the Jig & Pig combo would be:
1. In and around "Fall-Downs"
2. Grassy Areas
3. Point drops
4. Channel contours
5. Around and under docks
6. Along rocks (or rip-rap)
7. Floating objects
8. Thick vegetation areas
9. Ledges
10. To many types of structure to mention
and many, many, more areas..... You can fish a Jig & Pig combo in the
shallows as well as deeper water, and it is also by far one of the best "Year-round" artificial bass baits an angler could own.The name "Jig & Pig" goes back several years ago when the trailers used
with a Jig were actually made from real pork products, commonly referred to as "Pork Chunks", and even though most trailers used with a Jig today are made of plastic, the name has carried on through the years kinda like a tradition. There is however still a company that makes the real pork products (or pork chunk trailers) for these Jigs but I found from my own experience that the plastic trailers I use actually get better results that the original pork products.One problem I used to have with the pork products is that they constantly dried out from the wind or sun while running the boat down the lakes or rivers and having to change them all the time (this got very costly.) The plastic trailers mentioned above don’t have this problem, in fact I’ve caught up 5 or 6 bass using the same trailer, and they wont dry out!
If you want to become a more successful bass angler, catch bigger fish, and start learning different baits that actually work, you owe it to yourself to give the Jig & Pig combo a fair try. Now, you may not catch as many bass during the course of a day as other artificial baits would, but more times that not you’ll catch the bigger quality ones. The largest bass I ever caught in my life was a 17lb. 3oz. Largemouth bass caught on a Jig & Pig combo pitchin’ along some stick-ups (or as some would call Bull-Rush areas) in the Southern part of the Nation, but don’t be to surprised to catch 5, 6, 7, and 8 pounders in the Northern part of the Nation as well using this bait.
