Jig Tips?

[Netboy Extraordinaire]

Biggest tip I ever was told is make sure your jig is on bottom. Considering current, depth and other conditions make sure your jig weight will stay an the bottom when worked. U see people using weights so small., especially at KY when they are pilling water, that they think they are on bottom but not feeling anything. I hand them my rod and it takes one cast to see what is actually on bottom

Thanks everybody... Do any of you all use straight braid? Do you all do more dragging or hopping?

That's something you'll have to let the fish tell you. Start out dragging it, that's easier for me, if your not getting bit, try hopping it, try mixing it up, drag, hop, hop drag, let it sit and just shake your rod tip a little. The only way i can't seem to have any luck with is swimming a jig. I know it will catch fish, i just can't seem to. I'll tell you this, i've fished over 300 tourn. On barren, nolin and rough. Any one who can fish a jig, is hard to beat... Tr

I've been useing jigs for years. And the best thing i can tell you it's no different than fishig a worm on the bottom. As long as you can feel it on the bottom just drag it along. When it gets stuck pop it and usually get your strike then. Slow is the name of the game. When you think your fishing it slow slow down even more. I use mostly floro on jigs braid if the grass is thick with a floro leader. As far as color black n blue, green pumpkin n black. 3/8oz to 1oz depending on depth and current. Clear water no rattles colored water use rattles and at night. And jigs are a year round lure once you get it down you will learn that "Get the net" will be your favorite words..

And don't forget the $$ you'll save verses other lures.
