woodsac Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Think jig I think (my opinion) they are most effective t-rigged. Rig it like you would rig a brush hog or a big 8" worm or a crawdad. You can carolina rig em too. They're great for flipping and pitching. If you don't do much of that, try about a 4/0 EWG hook with 1/4 - 3/8 oz worm weight. If you're fishing thick stuff, peg the weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legal limit Posted August 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 thanks woodsac, going to try it friday will let you know how it comes out. I dont believe the fish in this part of the country have seen to many of them. I love to pitch & flip just so happens we had a couple inches of rain earlier tonight so the water ought to muddy up so the flippin bite should be on. The two colors I purchased were oxblood and watermelon are there any colors that seem to be better than others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsac Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 I think you picked good colors. Those are 'universal' colors and will catch bass anywhere. 'Hematoma' and 'Sprayed Grass' seem to be pretty popular out here. But again, you can't go wrong with 'Oxblood', especially if you're fishing around crawdads. Good luck, let us know how it goes.
