I tie my jigs this way now because it made alot of sense to me. I'm still fairly new to the sport and most of y'all have probly heard of tying this way. As far as using the live bait part I read in the live bait forum about a homemade minnow tank so I built one of these and it can hold a ton of minnows so that way I don't have to make another stop and I just bought me first house and am about 200 yards from the water of my home lake and 2 miles from to ramp so to go to the bait shop is heading the complete opposite direction. Now I just stop by there on my home from work and pick up about 10-20 dozen minnows and I have them right there at the house
