New Pro-Mega Jig cuts through cover |
|
It was originally designed for plunging through thick cover, but the new Omega Custom Tackle Pro-Mega Jig is proving it’s a multifunctional performer.
The new heavyweight jig was created to plop through matted vegetation and flip into thick wood cover, but the Omega Custom Tackle pro staff has been using it for dragging over rocks and probing through deep grass as well. FLW touring pro Craig Dowling has employed the new jig for flipping grass at Toledo Bend and dragging through deep brush piles at various lakes on the tournament trail.
Dowling ranks the jig’s pointed head and crossline tie as the key features of the 1-ounce Pro-Mega Jig. “With that head design the jig falls straight down as opposed to a lot of the other heavier jigs that angle off to the side,” says Dowling. The jig’s straight descent makes it easier for Dowling to keep the lure close to weed lines and the trunks of standing timber in deep-water situations. It also allows him to keep his jig in the strike zone longer when flipping into weed pockets or small openings in thick bushes. The Pro-Mega has become my go-to bait when probing deep brush piles,” reveals Dowling. “This jig seems to come through just about anything I put it in.” |

Nothing new there, but his win helped continue the current resurgence of football jigs. They've been around for years but seem to be popping up more and more in mentions of tournament finishes.
The football head is appropriately named and provides a measure of security when it comes to fishing around rocks. The jig will "wobble-walk" on the bottom, rocking on its football shape, and tends to not get hung up as often. Read More |

"Savior" Rig-The Ultimate Shakey Head Set Up |
|
By: Casey Martin
When it comes to finesse fishing having the proper set up can be as important as the bait itself. I think just about everyone knows what a pain it can be to try to skip an 1/8 oz jig 3 feet under a dock with any type of accuracy even with the right rod/reel/line and jig combo let alone even trying to get within 10 feet with the wrong set up. I am writing this article because I believe I have found a rig that I refer to as the "savior rig" that will allow you to more accurately place your bait in an area where you will get more bites. There are 4 extremely important keys to this system:
