One of the staples in many fishermen’s arsenals in West Virginia is the BB jig. The “secret to Summersville” BB jig is a finesse jig that comes in green pumpkin and black. This jig gives the ability to have what fish like with a jig, but with a more finesse approach. The hook is light enough wire to fish on a spinning rod and still gets penetration but still has enough strength to fish on a lighter casting rod without bending out. The head design helps this jig come through rocks well and has a good weed guard. The jig has a very good paint job and can put up with significant abuse from rocks before it starts to show any wear on the head.
At only $2.50 per BB jigs are also inexpensive compared to the competitors like the Keitech finesse football jigs, which retail for $5.69 per jig.
If I throw the BB jig on a spinning reel. In that case, I prefer to use a G. Loomis NRX 872 (7’3” medium) with a 2500-size Shimano Vanford. If I throw the BB jig on a casting reel, I prefer the G. Loomis 852 (7’1” medium extra fast) with a Shimano Curado MGL in the seven or eight gear ratios.
