I am new to Jig fishing. I purchased some jigs in hopes to learn how to properly fish them. I have a couple of questions, When is the proper time to use a jig? How do I work the lure? Are trailers required? and What advantages do they add? Any help or advice would be appreciated. Hey man! I love jigs, probably because they bite 'em all year here on Lake Norman, they're good just about anytime, you just need to know when and where, generally there will always be dock fish that want it, deeper fish may eat it if you find a school of 'em on a ledge but I generally fish primarily docks and rip rap with them as far as the retrieve goes, I would invest some time into learning how to skip a jig under docks, the further back, the more fish, let it sink to the bottom and here's where you can get creative, generally you want a mixture of drags across the bottom and small hops, this doesn't mean rip it like a spoon, a little shake of the rod tip will do, try the drag, drag, hop technique and remember to fish slow, if you think you're fishing too slow, slow down! As for trailers, you are basically fishing the trailer, that is your primary lure, the skirt is just the icing on the cake, I prefer small chunk trailers and I don't just poke the hook through the middle, I run the hook all the way throught the bait, the normal plastic tears up easily with he skipping, that's why I prefer, the Zman batwingz in 2.75'' because it doesn't rip up and it floats but you can also throw craws on there, and if you're swimming the jig here and there, I would HIGHLY recommend using a twin tail grub as your trailer. Well, Good luck to you and I hope you catch a hog!

Hello all, my name's Tom and I just got a powell endurance utility rod, I throw A-rigs on there as well as jigs, carolina rigs, swimbaits etc., heavier lures basically, the reel I have on there has crappy drag, so I'm looking for a new one, any recommendations? I'm trying to stay under $150

Hi guys, I didn't really see a question like this so I'm just going to go ahead and ask, I'm on a budget, I can't own a ton of rods and my idea was to get a heavy action rod which could do a variety of things e.g. A-rigs, Buzzbaits, Frogs, swim baits and most importantly, jigs. I have owned a very nice jig rod until it found a new home at the bottom of the lake. I like the Powell Inferno 765 because it can handle anything from 3/8-ounce lures to 3-ounce lures but my question to you guys is How does it work with jigs? How well compared to actual jig rods? Thanks everybody, Tom
