Off-set hooks
Great to hear how other people do it. I've gotten to where I prefer to jig by hand, not only when I'm driving my boat, but even with someone else at the helm. I can feel even a swirl behind the jig. I'm not crazy about tying direct (haywire twist), but I've had it recommended to me many times. I guess I'd rather lose the leader to a pot or rock than to have to cleat off or cut the wire.
What I've found, that no one's mentioned, is off-setting the hooks. I've noticed a much better hook-up rate with the off-set. I think it's because often the bass hit the jig head-on, and knock the jig off to the side. With an off-set, they often catch the hook going by. Opinions?

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

I ALLWAYS jig by hand!!!
In my opinion, I can feel the slightest hit jiggin by hand, and usually I slow up my jig after that hit, and moments later I have that fish on!!!
I use jigs with with a fixed hook (NO swinging hooks)
But I take that fixed hook and put a few bends in it! |
