    Default Jig-"N"-Minnow


    Alright, splain sumpin. When ya'll say Jig-n-minner, are usin' the whole jig (Jig head +Body), or just the jig head?

    I'm sure there will be responses both ways, so let me learn sumpin here.

    I use the hole jig and tip it with a minnow, hook the minnow through the lips.

    ... it's just a jighead (weedless, of course) and the minnow hooked from under the chin, up between the nostrils. That's for casting/flipping/pitching. For "trolling", I sometimes run the jighead hook into the minner's mouth and out the top of its head. Don't seem to matter, to the fish, that the minner's deader'n a doornail :p .... and the jig will run upright, as long as the minner don't get stiff and curl up. If it does, the jig/minner will spin. I don't use that method enough to worry about it, though, as I'm usually casting, anyway.

    My late fishin buddy used to tightline a minnow on a jighead, rather than change to a hook/sinker rig. Caught'em right on, all the same :D

    A whole jig with minnow is good for dingy water. For clear water, a whole marabou jig with minnow is pretty good when searching for fish. Once you pinpoint the fish in clear water, a plain jighead with a short-shank hook tipped with a crappie minnow can work great.
