If I have time I'll write more but here is the biggest thing to be successful with jigs.
Be totally alert when using a jig. You need to be right on top of every feel you get as feedback from the end of your line. A fish grabs a jig just for a second then he knows its not edible. You need to be able to nail the fish instantly or wait a pre planned second or two etc but if you are gabbing or spacing out you miss your chance. The plastic bodies and the ones impregnated with salt may give you an extra second or the fish may be feeding with reckless abandon and inhaling everything at any given time but in general , being totally commited to following that jig at the end of the line with total awareness will mean a huge amount of difference in your success rate with jigs.
If you are bouncing the bottom , you will get feedback through the line and you can tell the difference when its doing what you want or about to get snagged. Again , you have a split second to do something about it or get snagged and possibly lose the jig.
