Its almost time for rubber shads...one of my favorite lures as it turns inept fools like me into experts with little training...worthy of a thread, IMO. Some don't consider them to be jigs, though.

I was thinking the same thing. Last year was the first that I used the real heavy ones like jigs in deep, fast moving water. They must be pretty good because even I caught fish with them, and I'm about as inept as it gets. Before last year, I had always used the smaller, lighter ones with a more traditional retrieve. |

I'd say lets figure which traditional jigs to go with - shads at a later week, no?

Shads are multi purpose and deserve their own week. Jigs and jig heads along with their accoutrements (smart Guy talk) can be used in so many different settings that it would be cool to see how others utilize the same items to do different things. For example how many different things have you set up on a wobble head and been successful. Or even a regular old jighead

Did pretty good on those Scented Hurley Eel Jigs in the ditch this past year. The pink one always seemed to get shredded to ribbons by blues, but the green one did ok holding up to about 5 or 6 stripers before the rubber starts to get gnarly. They got down fairly quick even in hard currents, where most of the strikes happened

something clever and related to fishing

I fish them like jigs, usually instead of bucktails unless I know the bluefish are around. I picked up some of the deep shads over the winter and am looking forward to trying them out in a few spots this season!  |
