Thanks, that is very helpful.

One last thing, whats your favorite jig? We use white Creme Mini Tails on a plain gold hook w/ a minnow when we use a jig at all. Your description is more akin to flippin for bass to me, so I assume you are using a small lead headed jig, and by synthetic hairs do you mean the more rigid hairs not the fluffy hair like a hal fly? I think I seen some of those at Ron's Tackle Box in Lake Alfred. One in a neon red and another in chartruse.
