The Bala jig is another deadly jig for bottom critters. It's equipped with two assist hooks and a squid skirt. Like the Lucanus, I like tipping the hooks with cut squid; although the Bala jig is still deadly even without squid strips. I prefer casting the Bala jig, let it sink, and retrieve it slowly while making sure the jig is bouncing off the bottom. Unlike the Lucanus, the Bala's plastic squid skirt is more durable and easy to replace. Squid skirts are available at most tackle shops. Replacing the squid skirt with glow in the dark skirts will make this jig more deadly when fishing at night. We've hooked various species of fish with it. So on your next bottom fishing trip, add one to your tackle box and give it a shot.
