wondering if you guys usually use jigs

I was just wondering if you guys usually use a jig when pinning. I use egg sacs but a think a jig would be a lot easier but I have no clue how to drift with a jig or what colors to use. I had one nice guy on 20 mile give me an egg drop jig but I havent had any sucess with it.

    Jigs are very successful on eries tribs.  Personally i like marabou w some flash in them.  Sizes of 1/32 and 1/64 are my go to sizes.  Colors include white being my favorite, black, brown, olive, pink and chartruese all depending on water color.  I like to keep moving my float up until i start tapping the bottom then i will move the float back down 8 to 12 inches so i'm not dragging the bottom anymore and the colder the water the closer to the bottom the fish seem to lay.  Basically drift them like you would anything else.  If the water flow is low i've found popping them and using them like you would fishing for crappie seems to be successful.  Movement seems to be key to their success.  One downside in my opinion with them is there inability to fish shallow runs.

    as stated already, i like to keep them moving through deeper water, meaning i just leave the current take them.

    white and black marabou are basically the only two i tie.  also i've noticed when they're on to either of those colors i can use a beadheaded woolly bugger with the same effectivness.......also have some sort of flash in all jigs

    You guys tip them at all or just fish them plain under a float?

    The Lord has blessed us all today... It's just that he has been particularly good to me.

    I don't tip anything on my jigs at all. Float them or twitch them. They kill them.
