A mop jig is a type of bass jig designed to mimic the appearance of a crawfish or other bottom-dwelling prey that bass feed on. The lure features a skirt made of extra-long, heavy, living rubber strands that resemble the appearance of a mop, give it a lifelike action in the water.
In addition to the skirt, mop jigs often feature a flat-sided, arky-style or football head that helps the jig sit in a defensive position on the bottom further enhancing its crawfish appearance. This makes it an excellent choice for fishing in almost any water depth or in areas with strong currents.
To use a mop jig for bass fishing, you would typically cast the lure out and then retrieve it slowly along the bottom of the lake or river, pausing occasionally to allow the lure to sink back down and imitate the behavior of a crawfish or other prey. The soft strands of the skirt float up from the bottom and move with the water current, creating an enticing motion that can attract the attention of nearby bass.
