I always use a trailor..I don't fish a jig alot because I haven't had a lot of success with it.In FLorida , it's hot. I only have about 3 -4 hours to fish.jigging takes alot of time.

If i find fish with a rubber worm deep..I'll then grab the jig and cast it.I use a green jig 3/16th ounce with green crayfish legs as a trailor..I can count the amount of fish I've had in 3 years..maybe7 boaters and 10misses.The bite is weird..One of the bites feels like you are bumping the bait over gravel or marbles..[8D]When that happens ..set the hook.The jig is bouncing around in the fishes mouth.The 5 1/2 I have posted on the tourny did that..You simply take up the slack and by FAITH set the hook..and she was there.Sometimes they pick it up like a rubber worm and take off...Sometimes the bait never touches the bottom..She sucks up the baits and stays suspended ..feels like a wet rag on your rod.
OVER A 4 Hour FISHING TRIP...6:00 AM-10:AM
The jig is not my favorite bait but I carry5 rods with me at all times and the jig is on my 5th rod..with Power Pro.It's a 6 1/2 foot spinning team Diawa Medium Heavy..on a Symetric Reel.I use this rod maybe 10 minutes..

Number4 rod is a snap swivel prepared 6 1/2 foot Team Diawa Cardinal 104 Garcia mono..for crankbaits or Rooster Tail.. I use this set up about 20 minutes

My Number 3 Rod is a mono lined medium 6 1/2 foot Lightning Rod ..spinning rod with a weedless spinnerbait..Garcia Spinning 103 model 1 hour

My number 2 rod is a Power Pro filled Garcia Revo in which I flip / cast a worm..a Fenwich Trigger Stick Medium Heavy with fast action..6'4" I cut some of the long handle off.
1 1/2 hours flipping

My Number1 Rod is a Power Pro filled Pflueger President with a Horny Toad on it.7 foot Ugly Stick medium 1 hour

MTHands got me started on the jig..He sent me some to try..My first 3 fish were huge but I didn't know how to set the hook..Actualy 40 percent of the hook up s have been over 5 pounds..I just don't get alot of bites..maybe one per outing ..if I'm lucky..takes a lot of patience fishing a jig..

Here my jig set up.
