If the fish are feeding on sand eels then hands down there is no need to even think about bait. Last year was out on a trip after a few prior great trips jigging, we stopped I dropped down the jigs a d got NOTHING while others were catching one after another on bait, so I made the switch. Shortly thereafter we moved. Got to next drop, send down my bait and reel up a fish that pukes up sand eels. Immediately dropped down jig and GAME ON. earlier this year had a good trip on the OE but all fish were on bait, not a touch on a jig. Last stop my buddy reels one up and it throws up sandeels, drops down jig and GAME ON. if they're not feeding on sandeels, might as well drop down bare hooks. This past Saturday the jigs were non stop on fire, so good a teaser would get torn up and just drop down with a bare hook and even that caught fish.

Like most fisheries it is dependant on what they are feeding on that day. Last week we only jigged no bait all day and had a boat limit. Near the end of the day I stopped using the jig and went with a high low rig with red gulp and caught just as many with that as I was catching in the jug. Go figure
