ditto . Only fishing down here a few days? every hook would have a minnow . Have always been told to let the fish tell you what they want . Have seen fish not bite a jig but never not a minnow . If they bite a jig the minnow will not turn them away . Been fishing Sardis all my life and am 66 . Never seen a guide without minnows unless pulling cranks . There is a reason . jmo
