you seem to be one of the few people that prefer a spinning reel
to a bait caster for jiggin jigs - just an observation
and by "no quarter" i take that to mean
your trying to get the fish out of the lower current or deeper water
up high in the water column fast so you can slide the fish closer to you....

By NO Quarter I mean I do not let em run..I stop em in their tracks.They will pound a thrash for a short bit.I might give em tiny bits of line.by no means are they taking off on me. It takes the steam right out of them.Then you have to pump them back..
IMO the further the fish gets down current on you,the harder it will be to land..
For the most part a jig is one of the only lures you can get away doing this with.
That single hook lure is the best fish LANDING weapon there is..

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

ahhhh i see
the second reason
now i'll invest in some more sw jigs
and experiment with them more in freshwater too
since i have quite a few fresh water jigs but don't use them very much
usually i get out there and determine if its a
worm, crayfish, or minnow bite and then fish appropriately
thanks NIB - for the LESSON - i learned allot today

Nice to see jigs getting equal time - done right, it really is an art form -
I still pour, paint and tie up my own, for the last 10 years or so adding a little crystal flash along the sides...I'll be tossing 'em soon -
Anyway, real good post on jigs, T. - it was totally NIB-tastic -  |

BTW, anybody ever use - or make - those felt strip trailers that look like a rind and soak 'em with scent - 
DZ does, I think - just found some in my tackle room I'd put in a safe place so I'd be sure I wouldn't forget 'em...
I think that was like 7 or 8 years ago...  |

the Canal jigging with spinning is the norm ..Pre braid it was conventional because you were casting heavy mono .. great read NIB ,, you should write an OTW article or Fisherman sometime .. I'd run out and buy it .. |
