>>1002078Use jig with weight you think is appropriate with the depth you are fishing. The slower it moves in the water the easier it is for the fish to eat it. Cast it out, let sink to the the bottom. Lift 1-3 feet off them bottom and reel in slack while letting it sink back down. Keep doing this until you feel bites. Don't set the hook until you are sure the fish has it in its mouth and you can see the line moving as it swims away with it. Most of the time they will eat it as its sinking towards the bottom. Sometimes they will bite it when you are lifting it but usually they only bite he very end. Let them hit it several times before setting the hook. I've had fish follow a jig for the entire length of a 40 foot cast and he pretty much jumped on the shore as I was reeling it up to cast again.
Also trailers are a must. Get something goes a little bit further than the length of the skirt. The more flappy the appendages the better. Try and match the color of the trailer with the skirt pattern
