Making your own fishing jigs for fun, survival and profit

Making your own fishing jigs for fun, survival and profit: "Jigs are a type of fishing lure which can be described as a large single hook having a painted lead head near the eye along with several strands of silicone attached to the head to form a skirt. They are intended to be used with soft plastic baits (aka “trailers”) which resemble crawfish, frogs, or other small critters; but trailers are sold separately as each angler prefers certain brands, colors, styles, and sizes. Professional anglers often use jigs because they have a solid reputation as a lure which attracts trophy-winning bass, but jigs can also catch other kinds of fish such as salmon and catfish."

October Spinnerbait Bass

October Spinnerbait Bass: "  Experienced bass anglers in the north have probably been throwing spinner baits for a few weeks now. Anglers in the southeast, and midwest agree that the spinner bait can be one of the most effective lures to use in the remainder of October and much of November. These baits are among the most versatile of all baits made today. They are very effective all year, but in the fall they seem to do even better. "
