Spinning or casting gear is ideal for mini jigs. |
In high stakes tournaments in
Ontario, the success of mini jigs have secretly flowed through the ranks of the
elite. Big weights and top finishes speak volumes. Many anglers have literally
turned their tournament career around solely on the success of mini jigs. Once
an after though, these jigs are much underestimated. Much of it does have roots
in scientific research. Immature crayfish evacuate the shallows to escape
scores of predators. Bass living along deeper structure are accustom to feeding
on smaller crayfish making a tinier jig an ideal snack.
Compact sizes don’t always translate to dainty weights. A few companies pour finesse jigs up to 1/2oz and with strong hooks, but they’re a rare find. Skilled manufacturers shrewdly manipulated the lead head to remain minuscule yet heavy. Others have switched to tungsten, a pricy non-toxic lead alternative. Regardless, mini jigs can transform a day from hoe-hum to amazing.
