The jig that fills a cooler. 1/16 oz, hand poured and hand painted in Louisiana, on a premium Mustad black nickel hook. Built for Sac-A-Lait, bream, and anything else that'll fit one in its mouth.
Everything about this jig is made under one roof — the pour, the paint, the finish. No factory blanks bought in bulk and relabeled. That's why the hook is sticky-sharp out of the package and the paint doesn't chip off on the third fish.
How to fish it
Tight-line the cypress — drop it beside the trunk and hold it still. Watch your line, not your rod tip.
Under a cork — set it 18 to 24 inches under a Speck-A-Nater and pop it through brush tops.
Cast and swim — slow steady retrieve over grass edges and boat docks.
Tip it — add a minnow or a small soft plastic when the bite gets tough.
Picking colors
Water color decides the jig, not the season. Rule of thumb after 47 years on this water:
Muddy or stained — go loud. Firetiger, chartreuse, orange.
Stained to fair — Monkey Milk, June Bug, black/chartreuse.
Clear water — go natural. Pearl White, Grey/Grey, Silver White.
Conditions change hour to hour on these lakes, which is why most folks carry three or four colors rather than betting the day on one.
