At some point, you’ll be forced to decide. And the decision will be a critical one. It’s not a matter of life or death, but in a high-stakes tournament it could mean the difference between first place and finishing with the rest of the pack.
So what is this decision? It regards jigs and jig skirts and whether to use rubber or silicone or a combination of both on a skirt.
Pro anglers know they need to make their skirt selections carefully. Alton Jones chose to use a predominantly rubber-skirted jig, which certainly was not in vogue at the time, and won a Bassmaster Classic with the bulky material. At the very least, Jones’ decision got anglers thinking about skirt materials. So before you choose your next jig skirt, consider what some of the top pros are saying. Their opinions just might have you switching loyalties.
