check out u-tube, but don't buy them $30-40 jigs until you understand the whole thing; (i assume u mean saltwater fishing) i would talk to some local captains (charter or party boats) as it mainly works for reef/bottom fish and a lot of time it's in deep water. i'm going out soon & will get to try out some chineeze jigs i got & using the gear i already have, not a +$300 2 speed reel & $300 custom rod, as i can't get out as much as i'd like & can't justify the cost. do the best you can with what you have- good luck |

Johnny Jigs is a local..been out there doing pretty good when the current isn't ripping. Just have to mount up my trolling motor. Pain in the ass having to have someone keep bumping the motor in and out of gear to keep the lines from scoping out. But got used to it pretty quick and got a nice mutton on my very first drop a while back. |
