I jig very rarely. Yes, rarely. I usually have a minnow on, and when letting the minnow swim around, suspended about 6-12 inches from the bottom, I find that the minnows doing my work for me. I have been using a silver Swedish Pimple with an orange stripe on it, tipped with a minnow, and have good results. I sit my rig on the floor and watch my bobbers, anyone else do this?
