BlADE jIGS

Broken down

Put a Curly tail grub on my line and I am just fine I will fish till I get something; I have also become confident in drop shooting a 3" to 4" worm, or Texas Rigging bigger worms not a problem for me. I feel very confident in my fishing style and I am confident in the techniques I use while fishing my favorite waters. So have I become complacent, you might say I am a one trick pony when it comes to my fishing techniques? I asked myself this question and I really feel that I need to expand my arsenal of fishing tackle chooses.

So I starting looking at other baits that I have avoided or tried but never had success with over the years. My eyes kept coming back to one type of lure the Blade jig. I have tried the different types of blade jigs over the years, as they seem as they could be successful if you know what you are doing. When purchasing these types of baits I had high hopes, but they were soon dashed as throw after throw I would get nothing not even a follow in the shallows. Looking back at this now I feel it comes down to 2 things, lack of confidence and lack of understanding.
