What JungleJim and Alpha have said is spot on. I met and talked at length with a Dale Hollow guide about it and during the cold part of the year his wife stays mad at him cuz everyone wants to fish. His recounting of some of the trips is just as they’ve said, 50 plus is doable. It’s as effective a technique as there is. He told of seeing fish on the sides can at 20’ deep and that was how long the leader had to be. He had to throw the jig out the other side of the boat and then cast toward the fish. The jig hardly got settled when it got hit, and that bite lasted til the next major front messed it up. It’s also about as addictive as fishing gets.
