I fish these finnesse ones, almost just like a t-rigged worm. SLOW, and the occassional tiny hop. The right trailer is key with these.
I mostly agree with Mr. Forbin about finesse jigs being used year round. A good trailer (paca chunk) with a 1/4-3/16oz jig feels great, my choice would be D&L but I have used many others. I throw mine on a 7ft Loomis (3 power) and it feels perfect!
I feel the lighter the jig the less they get hung up in the rocks and the hooks are easier to open up when you pull if they get snagged.
