Jig heads and long jellies

[Ankle.Biter]

Was wondering how to rig these.

Jelly worm 10 pack plus three eagleclaw hardwire jigheads

I've never used jig heads and wanted to know how to rig them and work them.


Do you use a sinker?

[Codfather]

With leadheads of that size your probably gonna need to use a sinker aswell if fishing the wrecks.

Might get away with just the leadhead if you fishing in shallowish water and theirs not much drift, would be good sport if you could.

If you fishing deeper wrecks and ground I would use a sinker tho and fish them like a shad.

Look like pollack killers

Best of luck.

Firstly that looks like a bargain! I may have to get amongst that!

Yep I'd agree with Codfather, you'll want a sinker with them fished similar to a shad. Personally I favor the Portsmouth rig with a 4/5ft trace for lead-heads, shads etc.

Tight lines.

I wouldn't say it's a bargain this same worms are only 10-20p each in tackle shops and lead heads are that expensive. I'd personally buy from a tackle shop anyday.

[dave craig]

Anyway that's how I'd fish them as per the original question.

These are my latest jigheads (Slinky Coquet Twister heads), come in at 35gm and sporting a 5/0 hook, but even at that weight we'll be wrecking them on a single flowing trace about 4-5 foot long with a 12 oz lead on the bottom to help keep the action vertical. So, I suppose I agree with the replies good luck ...

So I guess a 6oz sinker with a trace about 3/4ft from the top of the 6oz sinker or may be a six inch boom with a shorter trace?



Then let them drop and a slow wind up then repeat.

Btw thanks for all the replies chaps. Allways helpful on here.

Yeah, but depending where your fishing you may need heavier bottom lead or else it will wash down tide and come horizontal, I would say if your wrecking no less than 12 oz and if inshore hard ground no less than 10oz

I don't bother with a boom, less to tangle. But some do, just personal preference .

Looking great Norman, bet you've been busy

Check the ebay section Martin

Just use a light rod, spinning reel and 25lb braid and they cast 50yds, gives them time to hit the bottom inshore.

I never noticed, Good on ya Norman, sure they'll do well.

[The Jester]

Aye they look well Norm, and the bidding has started ..this time next year you'll be a millionaire...

[The Great Wallsendo]

I think as long as Norm can cover the cost of a bottle of deck cleaner he'll be happy

Weather watch has started

[Norman]

Aye, I've just bought Tony's start of season present ..... 2 bottles of deck cleaner
