Butterfly style jigging..ever do it?

[stripermagnet]

what are the favorite jigs to use ive had good luck with straight dropping the class "Crippled herring" to bass before

A hammered diamond jig works wonders on SBFT. I dont think you need to g0 spend 20- per jig when a 5- jig will at worst fish with them and at best out fish those expensive metals. Change out the treble to a nice owner hook and you got yourself a fine tool of the trade for short money.

Good advice KR, I'll have to give the diamond jig a shot.. it's ridiculous what those butterfly jigs run.

Don't laugh. They catch. Awesome action. A freind of mine gave me these after working on a NOAA vessel in the Gulf. They were catching Mahi and yellowfin. You could put some of those assist hooks up the front. Could probably load up on these at the Christmans Tree shop for a buck a piece.

A far as butterfly jigs. Buy a few different sizes. Make plaster of paris molds from them. You'll get 10 or 15 jigs before the mold cracks. Clean them up a bit and paint to your delite. I do this all the time with bucktails.
