These are some of the targeted pray that these fish are looking for in the spring, which is just what you want. Of course if you choose to fish a blade jig in the colder months, you might just need to slow down you retrieve to a slow roll or crawl. And if you find yourself in the hotter months you want to look for deep waters and structure to fish for the best results.
Lastly a few more things before you head out to try a blade jig. Where do you fish these baits, meaning what water and structure are best suited for blade jigs. Their design lends itself to be fished almost anywhere you feel the fish might be. Fish them along weed lines; bounce them off rock piles or stumps, and alongside docks and pylons is just a few areas we can fish these. Finally these baits were not meant to be fished alone they are best paired with a trailer. There are many trailer baits that have been made that will work just fine, for example the split tail trailer will work great. Of course don’t get boxed in with only one type of trailer, experiment with different types. Change it up with a 3” to 4” swimbait style, or maybe a ringer worm type lure. Even use creature baits to add just a little more action on the bounce. This, like in fishing is all about you and what you think will work best. With time on the water and some imagination you might be able to take your blade jigs, and dial them in for some great bass fishing this Spring, summer, or fall whatever suit your fishing needs. Then hopefully you, like me won’t be a one trick pony any more.
