Will Your Chub Make the Cut?

[Old_Coot]

[quote wiperhunter2]As far as the head and tail being thrown away, I'll have to agree with Kent on that part. The tail is the most natural part of the bait fish, imo. When put on a jig it gives the impression of a real fish, plus the head and tail are the parts with the most bone, so it does not come off as easy when the fish hit it.[/quote]

I too have uesd the tail because of how it looks on the jig. But I don't think that the tail gives off nearly as much "smell" as the belly part. I use the tails as last resort (if I haven't already thrown them away).

I have never used the head because I would think that the hunk of head on the hook would look too rigid and werid. But then when I run out of chub, I'll bet that It would be nice to have a head to hook on there. And, because of its bony structure, it would probably stay on for the rest of the day.

I have to admit ... I will probably give the head and tail a little more respect in the future.

I sure do love this BFT Web site ... great ideas and info that gets shared here.
