As far as your time in with a jig going down when its rippen , then you need to look for different spots and fish it different. Find a spot where the current is heading away from you in general and drift the jigs in that curren instead of bouncing them from up current. If you select your spot right and cast into the right spot to get it started , you should be able to drift that jig out till your spool is almost empty.
If you are always just casting up and bouncing down , you are missing a lot of good oppurtunities for long drifts and many fish.

I love driftin a jig down current I call it longlinen.U don't really wanna be on the down current side of me as i don't really like to reel up if I still have contact wit the bottom.Then I like to swim it back I got my best fish this yr doin that.But sometimes it seems the amount of line in the water an the Madd current float the jig off the bottom.I'll have to explore a little more an try to find a little eddy type area.Thanks for the insight though faster currents rendering baitfish helpless is a good way too think positive an stay on the water. U won't catch anything if u don't cast out.
