    Default What jig style for Baby Shad Type Baits?


    I fish a lot of Bobby Garland Baby Shad baits and I'm wondering what style of jig most use for these type of baits. Barbed, Barbless, Collared, Collarless?

    I don't have a short answer, but I'll try to keep it short. It depends on where I'm fishing. Open water and little cover, I go to #2 hook. Everything fishing, where I don't know what's next, #4 hook. Tight cover, around brush or weeds, but still not needing weedless, I go to #6. And don't let the little hook fool you.I've landed many 2lb fish with that little hook buried in the roof of the mouth.

    Weight goes from 1/32 to 1/4. With plastics I usually use a barbed collar to hold the body better. If the barb stands pretty proud I trim the tip off a little so it doesn't tear the plastic so bad.

    The head is also according to where I fish. Minnow heads tend to fall a little faster(at least in my mind) and I use them a lot but I always have ball heads with the barbed collar. If I use a no collar head I carry a bit of super glue so it doesn't slide off.

    Bobby Garland Mo' Glo heads I think they are size 1 or 1/0 hooks. not less than 1/8 oz. Redneck Rubber jig heads,/0 hooks, again no less than 1/8 oz. Lately ive been using Timmy Toms weedless heads (1/16 oz has a #2 hook, you can pick from a #1 up to 2/0 in the 1/8 and 1/4 oz sizes. he makes a bladed head (WSD) and what he calls a Kast n dragin head that is awesome for just that purpose). Big/heavier jigs with big hooks is where its at. You can get by smaller hooks, but why???

    We pour our own ball heads with ball-type collar. 90% are 1/16 oz., with the rest 1/8 or 1/32 oz.. size. I find the #4 standard jig hooks do the job just fine. And we don't paint the heads either. Ball heads work great with BGBS plastics.
