Bad jigs ?

[Eagle 1]

Have you ever bought jigs that would not catch a fish ? I took a bet that I could catch crappie on a 4 inch piece of red yarn . Doubled and tied it was about 1. 75 long . Took 5 minutes to catch one .

Depends on the bite of course..
I’ve caught quite a few on a bare jig head and a bare hook when I threw it in the water looking for a new jig body.
I made a jig using a old piece of black trot line. The red ear love it.

Fishing is like Golf, it's not the equipment.........................

When I was a kid, I caught a 1 lb bass on an opened bare snap swivel!

I guess I have, usually ends up in the bottom of some box for years. By then it’s fodder for the trash man.

Probably no such thing as a bad jig. Only a bad time to use them

My dad once picked up an old torn up split up faded out milky looking Bobby Garland that someone threw out at the boat ramp and hooked it up and fished with it for a while before finally giving it up. Said he was catching free fish that day.

Dang, I was hoping to spend my way into catching fish! Working at it hasn't helped much.

As a matter of fact I have. Last time I went out I tied on a new jig and missed about 5 bites in a row. Took a closer look and the hook had broken off. I never got hung up or anything but it broke off about where the barb should be.

All you guys bragging that you can catch a crappie on anything, I've got a challenge for you!
