It looks like we have a few fans of the jig here...thanks for the responses! I haven't fished with jigs very much. I think I'm going to do just as Denny Brauer suggested in his book, I think I'm going to take nothing but jigs to the lake with me sometime...well, ok...maybe it won't be the only type of lure I take but I need to try and make myself fish a jig and nothing but a jig for awhile.
