Predator Bass Baits Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Hi guy's, What is the diff. with spider jigs and flipping jigs ? I see allot out there but what qualities should I look for in getting a couple. ? We have a guy up here that is beating the crap out of everyone in 2 different tournaments, and rummer has it he is using these jigs and just flipping or pitching in 6 to 12 foot of water. Thanks.

smalljaw Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Spider jigs are usually smaller and have thinner skirts and most of the time use a grub as a trailer. They also are made using some sort of a stand up head design, they work really well on pressured fish because of the smaller size, plus the thinner skirt combined with the stand up head really lets the skirt flare out. You can make them using the poisontail jig head in 1/8 or 1/4oz with a 20-25 strand fine cut silicone skirt and a really good trailer for them is the back end of a Mann's auger tail worm, very little movement will make it come to life.

maximusgunn Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Spider jigs are made up most of the time with a weedless ballhead with 2 pads of skirting with the upper portion of the skirt cut flush with the top of the head of the jig you can pretty much use any trailer you want but I like to use twin tail grubs like zooms fat alberts or yum gonzo grubs. Like the link below. https://jewelbait.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=JBC&Category_Code=PSJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator Bass Baits Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Thanks for the help. anymore input would be nice as these 2 have different amounts of skirt strands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piddler Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 the original spider jig used a plastic tube skirt with both ends slit into multiple strands followed by a double tail trailer. the head had a molded-in barb to hold the skirt and trailer and it also had a very heavy mono weed guard that was inserted into the trailer. it was amazing how the fish hit those things the first year or 2.

Gloomisman Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 the only difference is the skirt. Instead of the skirt top layer being long it is cut so the strands stick out about as far as the head. I'll see if I have a pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloomisman Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 here is what I know as a spider jig. Just the skirt. Head design varies between manufacturer. http://www.backwatersonline.com/moreinfo.cfm?Product_ID=5375&CFID=952974&CFTOKEN=1275 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximusgunn Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 That is the exact jig that I make, but I tie my skirts on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old man in the boat Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 That's what we call a finnesse jig. What we call a spider jig is a jighead with a Skirted, twintail grub like the chompers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predator Bass Baits Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Thanks guy's sorry I did not see posts on this lately. I did end up making some with my poison tail and put one of my poured speed craws on it as a tail and went out and caught some smallies in the channel of my favorite spots.
