Title: Re: Jig Spinners and Spinnerbaits Post by Kerry on Feb 4th, 2014 at 1:49pm
Hello, my name is Kerry and I am a tackle addict. There, I've said it and I feel better.
I've also pretty much stuck to stick/jerk baits and Taildancers with pretty good success. The low pressure fishing in WCPP is such that if you can get almost any bait down where the fish are they'll go for it. But this year I'm investing in jigging - so jig heads, jig spinners, grubs and some spinner baits just to round it out. I'm pretty excited about it, it looks like a fun way to fish. I'm going to take some stick baits but I've really got to cut back. The truth is that once I get out there I generally only use a few favourites and the rest are ... what? ... my fear of leaving the perfect thing behind. Who knows. But I do manage to carry it all in a single plano fanny bag, which carries 3 small plano boxes and another pocket for stringers, lipper, pliers and sundry other stuff. Another question. I'm wondering if any of you have much experience or recommend using jig spinners or spinner baits to go deep? Would it be useful to carry some heavier jig heads like 1 or even 1 1/2 oz? Same for spinner baits, would 1 oz be useful for working deep structure? Does anyone actually fish for summer Lake Trout (30 - 60 feet) with jig spinners or spinner baits? |
