I am mainly a jig fisherman but like to try and learn different technics. I think the reason most people buy all that tackle is because they are looking for that magic lure. I think if you have to much tackle you have too many options and you don't really learn how to use any certain one to its ability. I had fished jigs for along time before I felt I knew enough to move on to some thing else. a jig is a simple lure but there are a lot of ways to fish them and be good at each one. my lake doesn't have a lot of docks so I am going to have to find some docks to shoot somewhere.
