switch to braided line ( i personally use power pro) and you will never lose a jig again.
I heard these jigs are pretty dandy too:
A friend of mine just started making his own jigs.....if any of you Missourians or Kansans are interested please PM me
I know there is a place on crappie.com for this but i figured starting here, where I actually reside, would be beneficial to not only me but to the fine folks that wish to buy these
