hand tied jigs vs tubes

**kmorgan** · 03-09-2013, 07:14 PM

I'm sure this question gets asked quite often but witch do you guys prefer? I started tying about a year 1/2 ago and decided that since I spent the money that's all i would use. (didn't have very many tubes anyway) however I don't catch a whole lot of fish. I realize I have a lot to learn I have seen to many people wearing them out around me and I not catch nothing. I no that's gonna happen from time to time but it happens to me most of the time. i'm just wondering if ones better than the other or if it even matters.

I think there a time and a day for each one

There is no differance other than a tube is good for 3-4 fish.. 10 of your a tight wad..
A hair jig is good for 50+ fish.

Cool to cold water Hair. Gets over 65 start using both gets up to 70+ go to plastics. But if it's slow on one won't hesitate to try the other. Let the fish tell you which one they want. The more you can keep one in the water the better you will do.

It is confidence in your bait, and presentation. I have started tying my own hair jigs also,,,makes you slap mad when you lose one! You got to figure out what the fish want. And be sure of yourself!

Do you go to catch fish? Or go fishing? If I'm fishing, I'm not catching. Hate fishing,lol, would rather be catching fish! I due tend to be fishing alot when I am on the water though. Makes the times when we do catch a limit much sweeter!

well I pretty much like catching more than fishing lol I also get frustrated real easy and that doesn't help much. I've fished for 8 hrs strait several times and caught one fish or none. most I've ever caught by myself was 18 I was pretty proud of that. i'll start taking both and see what happens main things just trying to figure them little rascals out. i'll getter figured out one of these days

kmorgan,

What part of the state are you from and what's your home waters? Maybe your fello board members can help you more if they know where you're from....

As far as the plastic vs hair jig goes i think it mostly boils down to what you have confidence in. The reason people are out fishing you may have more to do with your tackle and or technique than your lure selection

I from Paragould fish blackriver mostly when its right. the 18 come from Portia bay went to poinset lake a couple times last year caught a few there just nothing worth keeping
