Fishermen are all the time in quest of the following smartest thing in relation to lures and sort out. It’s typically been stated that fishing lures are made to catch fishermen as a substitute of fish. I discover this to be 100% right. So once I picked up a pack of Flashin Murderer Jig Heads at Academy Sporting Items, I had that feeling of immediate remorse as I walked out of the door.
I imply, how significantly better are you able to make a jig head proper?
I had the possibility to check out these new jigheads on Bayou Liberty in Southeast, LA. The bayou is thought for producing large bream so I figured I might put these jigheads to the check to see how they might do. I used to be accompanied by my buddy Ray Miller. He has been a lifelong bream and crappie fisherman so I believed this may be a superb alternative to gauge these Flashin Murderer Jig Heads.
We launched at dawn and headed down the cypress-laden bayou. The situations had been excellent; a light-weight breeze from the south with partly cloudy skies. Our first cease was a shoreline with cypress knees and lilies. Having fished with Miller earlier than, I knew the routine of making an attempt completely different shade baits to search out out which one the fish most popular. I tied on a Bobby Garland Crystal Shad and threaded it onto a 1/32 oz. White Flashin Murderer jig head. Miller was utilizing a black head rigged about 2 toes below a small cork. As we fished the shoreline the motion was fast. On Miller’s second solid, his cork shot below and he retrieved an 8-inch bluegill.
I quickly joined in and we each started to catch bream. The chunk was so good that the colour of the jighead didn’t appear to matter, nevertheless, the 2 small holographic strips that protruded out of the lead head appeared to have an effect on the fish as they had been putting extra aggressively than regular. On the finish of the day, we counted 82 bream which was a mix of goggle-eye, bluegill, and chinquapin. It was the most effective bream fishing journey I’ve ever had. I’ve to confess, one factor that I used to be apprehensive about was the mylar strips breaking off of the jighead however the strips stayed related and didn’t rip or break.
I used to be extraordinarily happy with these jig heads and may truthfully say that they handed the primary check. My subsequent journey will probably be chasing crappie and I can’t wait to present them a strive on that journey.
Flashin Murderer makes each freshwater and saltwater-sized heads beginning as small as 1/32 ozand going as much as 3/8 oz. The metal shank jig heads are available in a pack of 5 for freshwater and for saltwater, they arrive with 3 in a pack.
