Boag Hog Baits question

Jay I actually started a pm to you but thought that someone else may benefit from my questions. First, congrats...the business seems to be doing well. I am happy for your success. I was looking through your catalog and want to place an order. I haven't jig fished before so I was wondering what sizes are the "typical." I know different conditions dictate things, but if there were and all rounder, would that be 1/2? 3/8? I fish mostly stained water so I am thinking darker colors. What would you recommend as a starter kit?

Thanks and anyone else who wants to chime in is welcome.

Charlie

the black 3/8 is my best producer

Shawn you are quick! Thanks!

That's what she said. LOL. I just really started using a jig this year. I bought 4-5 off Jay in the spring and I think 3 of them were black. I started with the 1/4 but really like the 3/8 size. I've caught a lot of fish with it so far. I usually use a blue trailer but will use a black with blue flake.

Awesome. I really appreciate the sharing of info.

no problem. I have added a couple of swim jigs to my collection now but that black 3/8 Boag Hog is my go to

Coincidently, I emailed Boag Hog a similar question today. Jay Wallace responded quickly with the following answer. Hopefully, he doesn't mind me posting it.

Hi Patrick,
Black/blue,green pumpkin/black flake are real good for most conditions.
I used black cherry in the beginning of the year and faired well.
1/4oz jigs are great in spring
3/8 oz are good summer
1/2 oz is good when windy or just bigger fish hunting.
Hope this helps. If you have anymore questions please ask.

Thank you,
Jay Wallace www.boaghogbaits.com

Cheers,
Patrick

Btw the beast in my profile was caught on the 1/4 black with a blue trailer.

Great info! Thanks Patrick.

I don't mind at all guys. This place will give you more answers than you can imagine.
What I might throw might not be what the next guy throws.
My #1 selling color and size seems to be black & black blue in 3/8 oz. I personally like 3/8 myself.
We are offering custom colors too. They will be held top secret if requested or you can share your favorite color.

Thanks Jay. I am looking forward to taking my first jig fish on one of your jigs.

All this talk is reminding me that I could use some more Jigs
