its amazing how many guys fish jigs now, and a lot of them only fish jigs and nothing else  ??? if your only fishing jigs your passing over a lot of fish. jigs have a time and a place and i always carry a few in my pack but rarely put them on. the biggest advantage of the jig is that it gets down quick and into the strike zone which is good for a run that you need to get down quickly in. other than that I would rather buy a shrimp ring at the same price as one jig.

Jigs or any other lures are not the end all and be all for steelheads. Just another lure in the arsenal for steelheads.

  This is a great way to get some great info on fishing jigs . I also believe that you get to tie a few jigs of your own.

How? Ya i fished them alot, and hooked alot of fish on them. But perfer to fish different water now, that isn't suited to the jig. Many fish fell to the jig this past season aswell, but they have a time and a place. I'm not going to strap a jig to my line and fish only that. Far from it... That's just not how I fish.


JIGS WORK! AND THEY WORK WELL! Personal preference. Steelhead bite anything. Spin'n glow, roe, roe bags, prawn, ghost shrimp, squid, pink worms, gooey bobs, jensen eggs, wool, spoons, spinners, jigs, flies, rags, plugs, blades, trout beads. Notice the common theme here?

And anto I think you should keep personal opinions towards individuals to yourself. It would be much appreciated. THANKS!

Guys, this is a great thread.

With lots of more experienced steelhead fisherman sharing their personal views on jigs, I am sure novice steelheaders like myself could arrive at a better understanding of the art via reading threads like these and through experimentation at the river. In the end, we all have to arrive at our own conclusions based on our own experiences.

Tight lines! :)

No i haven't spotted your negativity anywhere. I hope it stays that way. As for seeing ppl on the river, I may see you, but you won't spot me. To short. I blend in well with the bush. ;)

your jigs look great, you've got some talent riverbum.  I like how you kept the light color on the outside emphasizing the dark inside.
Keep it up :)
