Rubber Jig

Fishing for predators with rubber jig

Predator fishing can be practiced in a variety of ways, but it is especially effective with rubber jigs. There are several rules that will allow you to fish for carnivorous fish successfully. First of all, the location is very important, choose your fishing spot well. Choose your lures carefully according to the species you are looking for (some species prefer hard lures while others prefer softer lures such as rubber jigs). The choice of bait will also be a determining factor and should be made according to the fish you are targeting. Finally, pay attention to the weather and the time of day you fish: some species of fish hunt mostly in the morning or evening.

The rubber jig differs from traditional jig lures in that it consists of a lead head equipped with a silicone skirt and an anti-snagging device plus a soft lure (called a Trailer) that often takes the shape of a crayfish. The anti-weed device (or brush) makes this jig absolutely all-terrain: the rubber jig indeed has an excellent ability to get out of the obstacles present in the water (branches, seaweed, rocks...), which makes it particularly effective for black bass fishing.

The black bass is a fish that can be fished with several types of lures. Nevertheless, rubber jig fishing is extremely effective in catching this fish. Black bass and predators in general are very fond of crayfish. The animation of the rubber jig by vertical movements generally reminds black bass of the behavior of a crayfish and therefore does not leave them indifferent!

If the rubber jig is particularly indicated for fishing black bass, it is also successful with other carnivores such as pike, pike perch or even perch, and is used more and more for these species. So you will have understood, the rubber jig is not used for traditional jigging in the sea, it is preferred for fishing carnivores in freshwater.

Don't forget to equip yourself with a rod and reel suitable for the type of fishing you do. Each fishing technique and each type of fish requires specific and adapted equipment. Choosing unsuitable equipment is a mistake that many beginners make and it has the effect of discouraging them. For example, fine fishing from the shore will require a completely different rod, reel and rig from those used for much heavier exotic sea fishing.
