Q&A
The Bass Pro Shops® XPS® Freestyle Jig was inspired by a Japanese jigging technique that uses 2 single-assist hooks, making it harder for a fish to throw the bait.

new for meBeen tournament bass fishing for 30 years. Sold my bass boat and bought a bay boat rigged much like a bass boat. Just got back from Tampa Bay area and took a bunch of these with me. I'm a shallow water fisherman, but wanted to try jigging. I caught fish on these(3/4 and 1 ounce) casting and jigging. I lost a bunch of these lures to mackerel and other toothy species. Better use a steel leader if around those toothy guys. Caught fish in 10ft to 30ft. I'm sold on these lures and can't wait to use in the Virginia area in fresh and salt water. Buy some extra assist hooks as blues and mackerel will cut through those also. Can't go wrong!!!

XPS Freestyle JigSeveral of us purchased these jigs based on a recommendation of a person who fishes regularly in Valdez, Ak. We will be traveling to Ak the first week in August to Prince of Wales Island and Thorne Bay where I worked for 6 years. Rather than trolling we wanted to jig for salmon using steelhead rods. Should be fun! Will let you know the results later. Pete J

Worth Every PennyBeen using these since they first appeared at bass pro in smaller freshwater size. Originally designed in Japan as a tuna lure (butterfly jig) in weights over a pound for fishing over 500' deep. Line ties directly between the hooks. Never use a clip. Remarkably there is little or no line twist. They can be fished from as shallow as 2ft to as deep as you want to go. They can be fished vertically, cast out and hopped back, or cast and dropped through 'schoolers' and snapped back in open water. Any fish that eats a smaller fish will eat these. We use them in fresh, brackish, and saltwater..... weeds, rocks, and open water..... even 'surf casting' VERY effective on bass, walleye, and panfish. Just keep varying color, weight, and retrieves until you find what they want, and use them from Ice-out till it freezes again. Down south they work all year. The are amazing on stripers, and sea trout, and flounder, snapper and reds can't stay off of it. A good lure retriever (obiestackle.com or equal) on 550 paracord almost always gets snagged lures back. I've fished spoons for over 50 years..... You CAN teach an old dog new tricks. I have at least 50 of these in my spoon box at all times. Even the ones with the finish chipped off from rocks that are 75% pure dull lead still catch fish. Not a 'magic lure'.... no such thing.... but closest thing I've ever seen. Skeptical? Try a few basic 1/2 and 3/4 oz chromes and put them to the test. I'm just sayin'.

Best Buy in Freestyle JigsI have been using various sizes over the years fishing in primarily salt water on the Gulf and have made believers out of quite a few people. They have put a lot of fish in my boat from small croaker to decent sized sharks. Sometimes there would be a fish on both hooks.

high price2.89 would b bout the right price for this lure can get lures that work as well and some that work better for the price listed or less.Have my own reasons for buying them.This was listed as a saltwater lure to start with so bass pro can thank me for opening the market for inland fishing.

Freestlye JigIn the past I've ordered these with the red line and covers on the hooks. The picture in the catalog showed this on one jig but when they came they were black. We use these at times spooning for fish in southern lakes and the fish like them when you need a change of lure. We've caught a lot of fish on them. We liked the red line and cover that seemed to add to the attraction. Wish they were in the southern stores so you could see the item better.

Works for several fish varietiesWas very skeptical of this plug, but a friend recommend that I try it. I have caught walleyes, crappies, white bass, and even a catfish on it. I get lots of strikes, but not all are hookups. Not the "magic bullet" but it works real good at times.

Best new product aroundI was not sure if this was a new product or an older product, but it sure was an excellent pick for salmon and sea run cut throat trout in the Puget Sound. Out fished all other jigs.
Thank you for your question! Here is some great information from the professionals on how to use a jigging spoon:

Do they work that well?
Are they effective when drifting over structure or through rips searching for fish, or are they only effective once gamefish have been found and attracted?
Asked by: Glassfish
We use these with a spoon technique. the double hooks will hang up easy in brush and stump piles so you have to be careful as they don't dislodge like a regular slab spoon can.

do the double hooks come with this lure?
Asked by: channelcatta
Comes as shown. Sounds crazy, but tie line directly to ring between the hooks. NO SNAPS OR SWIVELS !!! Expect lots of 'chin-hooked' fish. They often pick these up off the bottom but miss the hooks. When they turn and you set hooks they hook outside in chin or cheeks. Recommend a 8 or 10 oz retriever from 'obiestackle.com' tied to paracord 550 with a 'rebeck knot'. You'll get 95 of 100 snagged lures back. Saves me thousands of bucks in spoons, cranks, and jigs every year..... THOUSANDS !!

Where do you tie the line, the eye on the jig or the ring with the hooks?
Asked by: basser12
Tie directly to the solid ring between the hooks. NEVER USE A SNAP or SWIVEL. Have best success using braid with a MONO 'shock' leader connected with an Albright knot or back to back Uni knot. These do not twist line, but if you feel compelled to use a swivel, use it at the braid to mono connection. The assist hooks almost NEVER tangle with line, but they WILL catch a snap or swivel. You can also tie braid directly to lure..... I'd use a 'Rebeck Knot' for that.
