When i use a jig like a rippin rap i like to rip it up and down fast a bunch of times and then just let it sit then shake it a bit and they come in and look to see what all the commotion is and hit it when it is slowing down. If you use jig head style jigs i like to put some kind of meat on it (meal worms or spikes etc) and with spoons i will put a minnow head on,you always have a minnow that dies in your bait bucket use the head or the whole minnow on the spoon. As for the flouro/mono i use both on my jig rod, mono main line a small barrel swivel to prevent line twist and about 12 to 16" of flouro as my leader. Hope this helps tight lines  |
I like the buggy imagery. Excellent way to think of it.
