I use a heavier jig than many . You won't feel as many bites using lighter jigs as you tend to have more slack between your rod and jig . I use nothing smaller than 1/8 oz and many times 1/4 . Using a long rod and heavier jig you maintain les slack . Even when see'n the fish bite I wait till I feel anything then set the hook .
