Fishermen are at all times in quest of the following neatest thing in terms of lures and deal with. It’s typically been stated that fishing lures are made to catch fishermen as an alternative of fish. I discover this to be 100% right. So after 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 understood for producing large bream so I figured I might put these jigheads to the take a look at 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 very good alternative to gauge these Flashin Murderer Jig Heads.
We launched at dawn and headed down the cypress-laden bayou. The circumstances have been good; a lightweight 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 attempting totally different colour baits to seek 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 underneath a small cork. As we fished the shoreline the motion was rapid. On Miller’s second solid, his cork shot underneath and he retrieved an 8-inch bluegill.
I quickly joined in and we each started to catch bream. The chew 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 have been placing 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 might actually say that they handed the primary take a look at. My subsequent journey shall be chasing crappie and I can’t wait to provide them a strive on that journey.
Flashin Assassin 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 a pack of 5 for freshwater and for saltwater, they arrive with 3 in a pack.
