Preferred Jig For Fishing Timber?

I’ve started fishing a lake where the primary structure is fallen timber and brush. I am curious what others use in regards to jig head style and brand for this application.

Thanks.

Draggin jig by bfishn tackle.

a similar one is the Northland Weed-Weasel, that is a little cheaper at Fleet-Farm.

For bass I like the shakyhead style jigheads, small head big hook, think that’s the right name? But anyways then I rig plastic weedless, like the slow descent of super light jigs in those applications. Seems to come through all the crap easier being so light as well

Check out our Jigs on Hyneejigs.com, I hav been using these puppies for a few years now. There is not a more weedless and hook up % jig on the market

Since this is a Bass forum I assume you mean pitching or casting laydowns/brushpiles…
There is a jig that is renown throughout the Pro Bass circuits that is nearly
unsnaggable… The NuTech… believe me, a guy that fishes jig/trailer 75% of the season. You wont believe what this jig goes through! and the fish are hooked in the nose 95% 0f the time…

I just checked out your website Hynee… Nu Jigs rule the jungle!!!

Ive never had luck with jigs in timber no matter how snagless they’re supposed to be. I like fishing weightless plastics on a straight worm hook, EWGs seem to be more snaggy for me then a normal straight. If you need some weight just stick a few finishing nails in the bait

Great question. I’ve fished in flooded timber my whole life and the key is to work vertically. Slip bobbers or dipping with ten foot rods are great methods. You can get by sometimes casting very light (1/32 ounce) jigs through select stands of trees but it doesn’t take too many lost jigs to make you quit.

These are the jig heads I’d recommend giving a try. Good luck!

Thanks, I may try those for crappie. I actually just ordered supplies to start making my own bass jigs to ease the sting of break-offs. It should be a good hobby and satisfying.
