I couldn't fish without a jerkbait, a fluke, and a jig n pig.
You know, I've thrown jig and pigs until my arm about fell off over the years, and I have caught a grand total of one bass on one. And it was out of a farm pond. I have never caught a fish on a chatterbait, either.
I agree with many of you. I've caught two bass on jigs. My second best 8lb 14oz in a pond and a 2lb spot on Logan Martin. I try to fish them frequently but it's hard having only caught TWO fish in my life on them. What's up with these things?
