Gear

Fishing guide Dave Mansue with a bass caught on a jig in Missouri

I’d bet that over three-quarters of the bass jigs sold and fished today utilize a base of black, brown or green – sometimes with accents like blue, orange or chartreuse. Of course there are patterns named after specific waterways – likely where they gained a foothold – such as Okeechobee Craw, Alabama Craw or Texas Craw. But if you’re looking for a very specific pattern for a very specific tournament lake or region, check out some of the following:
