The Jig and Pig is my favorite shallow water/ heavy cover bait. I start using it as soon as ice is out. I look for North west, sun drenched shorelines with docks, downed trees and overhanging brush.

Great post as usual Stratos.
Just a question on it. Do you look for North West all day all season or is this for the Early Spring/morning case where you're looking for the part of the water that's the warmest?
Any suggestions/recommendations on swim jigs or jigs w/ rattle?
thanks,
Thanks.
Jay, do you sell any Swim Jigs or Jigs w/ Rattles yet?
I couldn't find them on your site.
If not, I'm wondering what brands other people in MA are using.

Sorry if that was not clear. yes only in early spring. That is where, for the most part, the warmest water in a lake will be. As long as it has the cover, the fish should use it. Now if all the wood is on the east shoreline or in the southern end, you have to go where the cover is, but NW shoreline wood in early spring is usually money.
As far as jig reccomendations go, if you want to be lead free then Jay at Boag Hog and Ken at Leadfreejigs.com are 2 great guys with great products. If lead free is not an issue for you or for states where lead is allowed I LOVE dirty jigs. I also prefer the 'arkie" style head.
