Well, gentlemen .... I fish them 99.9% of the time, casting, jigging, and I don't "miss" very many bites ... nor do I lose many, if any, fish .. once they're stuck.
I fish them "anywhere" ... heavy cover to wide open water.

When casting -
If you try and "feel" the bite ... a lot of times the fish will have time to spit the bait out, resulting in missed fish.
If you try and "see" the bite ... you'll set the hook the instance you see line movement, and you'll hook up more often.

OK .. yeah, I know this thread is 5 years old ... but, for the sake of those just now viewing it, I don't want them to think that weedless jig heads are going to make you lose or miss fish. Nor do they cause fish to not bite a jig. Were these things true, I wouldn't have caught many fish over the last 30+ years ... since I've been using weedless jigs of various mfg's throughout 99% of the time, in those years.
