You mean...I'm....NOT....supposed.....to bounce them.....like a bucktail?? Keep them still instead?

That is a misconception when people ask me about jigging.....It's ok to lift and drop occassionally, /bouncing to find the "holes" in the bottom structure, which I might add also seem easier to find and tell when you're "in" with a jig on. To Gerry's point, the lighter set ups give you more sensitivity and feeling....Less snags I find with jigs too......Side note if using sinker/hooks, flat sinkers better for same reasons....less snags...my .02
