I posted some of my ties recently on another forum, many people said they looked good and would probably work if tipped with a minnow. Now I rarely use live bait, and I never do on one of my tied jigs. What are the thoughts of the rest of the hive?

I feel a good jig just needs water and willing fish. Do any of you tip your jigs?

If I am going to fish live bait I would just use a plain jig or bare hook. I have fished jigs/plastics most of my life and rarely tipped, the past summer I fished nearly all tied jigs I made and they all worked very well without the aid of anything.

Thanks for the input and this ends TA's rant for the day!
