I have to say that I was one of those people who was going forum to forum trying to figure out Jig fishing. I remember how frustrating it was reading and seeing pro's on TV talking about how good a jig is and still coming up empty. I still have a ton to learn but the jig has become my favorite bait. The main thing is finding a jig that you like and getting a feel for the jig bite. It is different. All this talk about line watching is not BS is it so true. Most of the time on a jig bite your line will actually jump. Another tip is you cannot be easy with your hook sets. I say start out with either green pumpkin or brown and throw a rage craw on the back and you are ready to go. When the jig bite is on, I don't pick up another lure. Something about that "tap tap" and the line jump that is just awesome and addicting.
