Blackfish jig ????????

[Capt. Lou]

Color like any other fishery can matter on a given day , however I don't have enough expierance on the jigs to make any flat out statements on which is better .
I know for sure jig weight and feel is important so u can detect a nibble or pick up or both . Fast taper medium power rods are my preference for using jigs , my best colors to date dark or plain heads .
However with limited expierance on jigs this could all change quickly . How u rig the jigs & fish them can improve ones success considerably.
In this fishery correct rod choice can be very important as jig color n baiting techniques .

Agreed. Probably the most important piece of the whole method is a lightweight sensitive rod and braid.

From my own personal, very limited, experience fishing the Tog jig, I haven’t noticed much of a difference as far as colors. I’ve even switched to a bare unpainted jig after I broke off a neon green jig and didn’t witness much difference in the bite.

I do try to go with the lightest weight I can get away with that will hold bottom in the current. Also surprisingly, I’ve only been able to detect it when fishing from a pier in slow moving water, but there have been times when a Tog will take a jig well before it gets to the bottom. Took me by surprise the first time it happened. I was fishing a piling and as I was slowly lowering my jig, the line went slack. Thought my jig got stuck on the piling somehow because I knew it definitely wasn’t on the bottom yet. By the time I realized I had a fish on, it was too late. Had me wrapped around the piling.

tog jigs are made to catch fisherman more than tog, like a lot of lures. i still want a nice strong hook that holds a point, and as a bonus a sweet color scheme. check out tog candy jigs, that's pretty much all we use now especially from the yak.
