jig creation.

Well the bass were not biting anything. We used every jig in the box with the matching trailer. Well i figured since watermelon seed works good with chartruese spike-it then i could dip the tails of a Zoom Fat Albert watermelon seed twin tail grub in spike it the put it on a jig that might work.......Well i decided to put it on a black jig. My friend threw out and caught a 6,7,and a 6.5 in three casts. i caught three 5's and a 4 and after then from now on every where i go they hit them like crazy. its like when they first came out with "woops"y shad and they hit it so much. but jigs.

What exactly is this spike stuff? Sorry new to all this.

Spike -it is a liquid dye for plastics. Comes in a bottle, and you just dip the plastic in it & let it drain a few seconds. Changes the color of a plastic, so in Elitebass's post, he was dipping a watermelon plastic into chartreuse dye. Some of the Spike-it also has scent in it. I know a guy who fished for Striped bass here who swears by that dye & garlic scent. The only problem with the dye, don't get it on a fiberglass boat deck, it stains it real bad.

Good job! Sometimes color doesn't matter at all but sometimes it can make all the difference in the world.

Contrast can be a wonderful thing

I dip the forked part of the tail on my flukes in chartreuse almost everytime I tie one on.

Figured out if ammediately after I spike it if I dip in in the water it gives me a brighter chartruese color rather than just caring it to get it wet.

plus the spike it has  a garlic scent in  it and that to me helps as well
