When I was a kid, my Dad took the time to help me make a jig rod. I loved making it and using it, but I never caught anything with it no matter how hard I tried. I found it this past summer (28 years later) and decided to give it a shot today.
It is no trophy, but it meant the world to pull this one in. Better late than never.
I used a pink kastmaster with a worm. I was able to jig in some yellow perch as well. My traps landed me one brookie. Great day.
