Flipping Jigs are great big bass baits. My favourites are Strike King Premier Elite, Bootlegger Jigs, and the Dave Hite Mop jigs. Weights nothing less than 1/2oz up to 1 oz. For colours in my personal favourite order:
Black Blue,
Black Blue Purple
Black Chartreuse,
Blue Gill.
Good rattles, hooks and skirts are very important. Trailers there is only 2. Strike King Denny Brauer Chunk and Fishing World's Chunks. Braided line is great but Floro for clearer lakes are needed. Good Stick 7ft 6inch heavy Crucial and a fast retrieve reel like the Curado E7. Once you get on the pattern and the bite these baits will be a huge part or your arsenal. They have made me thousands in tournies and I have great confidence in them.
