Matt and Tim are always testing new gear, tweaking existing baits, and dialing in their techniques. It should come as no surprise that Matt has been building some jigs along the way! With the boom in the finesse and micro jig categories, prices are constantly moving up. Given how many jigs he loses during a day of fishing, it was time to find a solution. Matt set out to find a cost effective solution, and in doing so, stumbled on a skirt and jighead combination that isn’t just cheaper, it catches more fish!
Below you’ll find links to the components Matt uses to build this jig, some of his favorite finesse and micro jig trailers, as well as the rod and reel combos the guys use to fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
