The proper way to jig

[fishnate]

Jigs are one of the most effective lures on the market. They can represent baitfish, crawfish, insects, an irritation, any number of things to the fish depending on how you fish with it. You want to have a variety of jig body styles in marabou, plastic and fur. Jig heads are used per the situation. If the fish are high in the water profile fish a lighter jig so you don't sink too far and if the fish are deep go as heavy as you need to get to the fish. Use as light a jig as you can get away with, it will improve your feel and improve the way the fish takes the bait. One more thing, method. You can fish them without pumping your rod or with little hops or big hops, fast or slow, let the fish tell you what they want. This is simplistic information on the subject but it will get you started.
