MstStudent10 Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 When dragging a jig, usually use a 3/8, 1/2, or 5/8 oz depending on how windy and/or deep it is i'm fishing. If fishing really deep and its windy, may step up to 3/4 oz... As far as jigs go, I really think its personal preference. Chompers and Eakins Jigs are both great, as well as Omega too. Really depends on what colors I have in which jig that determines the jig I throw. ...For trailers, I usually go with the Berkley Chigger Craws, thats just because I'm stuck on Powerbait. Love that stuff. If the water is really clear and its a sunny day, I'll downsize my trailer to a Zoom Lil Critter Craw. The brown/purple sparkle matches up really good with any brown or brown/purple jig. ...For jig type, still I think its personal preference. The big thing is football jigs. I think the plus with these is that your trailer stands more upright. It seems they have a tendency to "hop" as you pull them over a rock.. I prefer to just drag a normal 30 degree brush jig. I feel these "slide" over the rocks a little more, and with the "football jig craze", everyone is dragging football jigs, so I figure I'll drag something a little different... Once again, personal preferences. ...Can't beat fluorocarbon line. Less stretch = more sensitivity = feel more bites before they feel you. 12 lb is what I throw a lot on Table Rock around the clear water. Step it up to 14 or 15 lb test if I'm in one of the rivers/creeks and theres some off colored water, or if I'm working the jig in deeper water or around docks. 17-20 lb test if flipping bushes/laydowns in dirty water up creek. Set the hook first, ask questions later...
