Never understood the need to add minnows to a jig trolling or otherwise? I catch plenty with tube jigs everyday. The old timers caught plenty trolling plain minnows back years ago when most of us trolled. Try you a heavier jig like a tube bait in 1/8 oz. Speed seems more important than the bait used when you troll Nimrod.

Good advice Nimrod. Now if I can just get to Lake Nimrod

Nice catch 501 always fun to get em with ur better half.
