Micro Jigging

[mzaakir]

Hey guys, I am thinking to do some micro jigging with jigs around 7g, doesnt anyone have any recommendations, will be looking to get 7g, 10g and maybe a 15g but can anyone tell me which ones to get lol. Will be chased trev and might try for some bream on them as well, but mainly small pelagic so trev gt etc.

I used to do that for redfin in the lake, I actually found soft plastics best in that situation.

But I also used small ice jigs and small micro vibes. I also have some small micro jigs from a local tackle shop not sure of the brand, but us locals use them for trout in the current, not for jigging.

I have jigged with them for the reddies, but didn't find them as good as the plastics, the soft plastics are the king at light lure fishing definitely worth giving a go.

Not sure how much help that was, but in my situation the ice jigs outperformed the micro jigs.

I gave it a red hot got for a few months about 5 years ago....I have gone back to plastics and live baits now.

Yes you do get some fish but it is more work than enjoyment and plastics get better results and snag up a lot less than jigs.

That's what I noticed, I could drop a plastic over the side of the boat and jig my butt off with metal jig and I'd catch just as many if not more on the rod in the holder that had a light soft plastic on it.

I know you mainly fish fresh but those squidtrek in the smaller sizes are demons.  Just drop it down just above the bottom and stick rod in rod holder and drift along.  Catch fish and work a plastic on another rod.
