    Default Anyone Else Have This PROBLEM???


    Seems every time I go fishing I catch the fish good on one particular bait, color, or jig and I only have a couple of them. So naturally I go home and order up 5 packs or 15-20 tied jigs so I am covered for the next weekend, but then the dang fish never hit that bait as good as they did that first day and I am stuck with another pile of baits? Seems to repeat every weekend. Anyone else have this issue? Why cant the fish just eat the same bait every day? Sometimes I think going back to a simple bobber and minner would save a lot of money in the end!
    This is why I'm in the classifieds selling off extra jigs every month

    Oh, and yesterday they hit red/silver flash jigs better than anything else... so now I have a large order of flash jigs on the way from my buddy.

    It's a never ending cycle!!!

    Good idea to hang onto them, next time that maybe the jig they want. If they worked once they should eventually work again.

    At five bucks a dozen minners dip into my beer money. But I do take a cast net, just in case...

    Not sure my boat would float with all the jigs in her.

    No expert by any means, but weather conditions change, moon phases change, barometric pressure changes, water clarity can change, feeding times change. Its never the same. I went on a guide trip some years back, and he taught me more in 5 hours than I would have figured out in a lifetime about single pole jig fishing. One great tip was, when in doubt, down size the jig. He swore by moon phase and the barometer.

    If Plano would make an outboard attachment for there boxes. I could snap the all together to make a boat with enough storage for all the jigs

    Just an Idea Plano

    Yes I have the same problem
    I also have the problem of a manufacturer bringing out a new smaller product

    So true…however, I use a fishing Fanny pack for wading and that makes me think about what to bring.

    I can't even imagine losing cranks like I lose jigs. That would be expensive

    Dont even get me started with crankbaits, especially walleye fishing. That's a unique username, where abouts in central MN are you? Headed to st cloud area friday, I go up there a few times each year and have a blast catching your big panfish.
