so the last time i tried this, i made a mistake. i gave a large number of applications for the bait i had picked, thus neatly negating much interest in posting a response for most of those who viewed the thread...
the word for the day is "jig"
please list all tactics for fishing a jig that come to mind, but read prior posts to ensure no duplication of techniques.
my most common and productive method of fishing a jig is a long cast, followed by a countdown to the desired depth. i then swim the jig with a slow continuous series of hops. if it hits any solid cover, i let it soak in the spot for a moment, then shake it a bit, then resume the swim. so it is a sort of spinnerbait slow roll, followed by a more normal "jig" type presentation. pretty simple, but it seems like many do not employ this tactic.
i feel that there may be some way that a jig is more natural than other baits, perhaps due to the lack of mechanical action... so it seems to me. i therefore use it as a substitute for other baits at every oppertunity. it does not hurt that a jig seems to get a bigger bite...
let's hear some jig tricks!
