To use a jig, cast near known underwater structure, or in the flow of an incoming stream and work the jig with short jerks of the rod while slowly reeling in your line
Thanks I personally do, yes
Its worth checking visually and on your thumbnail (if it scores the nail easily, its still pretty sharp) every few casts to see if the hook point has been turned over on a small stone or shell
No matter how many holes you make, ensure that they evenly spaced
A naked flame from a lighter or match is used to melt the end of the hair and that will then form a stop on the end of the original hair as the plastic material burns to a blob and stops it pulling back through the hook's eye
The fast action has the perfect deflection point that I can cast the lighter 3/8 oz jig a long distance, or sidearm cast a oz jig low with pinpoint accuracy to a spot very close to the boat
