OK, yes you can use bucktail jigs, color and weight depend on the conditions: black low light conditions, chartuese dirty water conditions, and white for everything else. On a sandy beach you can jig it along bottom or swim it, all depends on where the fish are feeding. In rocky or situations with structure it is very hard to jig without getting hung up, I would recommend swimming the jig. As for the size line again it depends on what size jigs you are throwing and where you are throwing them. In structure you should use a little heavier line for the abrasion factor. I throw 1 to 3oz jigs and I use 20lb trilene big game. The weight really depends on the depth and the current. If you a re fishing deep in a strong current you need to go heavier. One more tip is I like to use a trailer on my bucktails: either porkrind like Uncle josh or rubber. I hope this info helps. good luck
