Friends, What lb test are you fishing with? If 6 lb or higher what jig weight do you typically use?
Currently double jigging with 4 lb test, but some of the fish I’ve hauled in do have me wondering if I would be better served with 6 lb. I am using palomar knot on top jig and clinch knot on bottom. May go to palomar knot on bottom for better presentation vertical jigging. But I digress... what works for you guys?
Best,

If double jigging I would definitely go to minimum 6# or higher. I use 8# on my rods I use for that or fishing brush. :twocents
What weight jig heads do you like to use friend? I am running 1/16 oz and am curious if double 1/16 (1/8) isn’t enough weight for the 6 lb. thoughts?Quote:

I use 1/16 mainly. I have used heavier depending on depth/wind, etc... Always use same weight or heavier on the bottom to keep from tangling as bad.
if you are double rigging I would put 1/8th on the bottom then 1/16 or even 1/32 on the top. I think I use 8# or better on my long rod.
I use 8# on all my vertical poles with jigs, and braid on my casting reels and poles, if I’m vertical fishing minnows I use braid with a 8 # mono leader , always works good for me!

8# mono line is my go to. for everything.
8lb. Stren original clear blue in stained water (big 4 ) 4lb. fluorocarbon in clear water (bay springs ).
1/16 on 6 is perfect one jig at a time
1/32 on 4 one jig at a time
if you go bigger heavier jigs you might use 8 or braid :highfive
I use 6lb braid with either 1/8 or 1/16 single jig.
