great artical
Crappie Pappy, I like you article and I learned some. We normally vertical cast in the lakes that I fish in, there is a lot of standing timber. And by casting and deep retrieval or horizontal trolling you keep loosing jigs. I’ve also notice that we get a lot of hits (maybe 30% to 40% of the time) when the jig is on the way down. The only way that you know is the reduction of weight on the pole (sort of like the jig landed on a limb). Have you had this happen with you? I still miss a lot of strikes when this happens; I guess it is the lack of experience.
Great article and good fishing
