Thread: Long lining 15 to 35 fow

Ok, well, I guess I was talking about tight lining, not trolling with long lines. This time of the year our fish go deep and hold either on the edge or in the creek itself and that can run from 15 to 30 + fow. What I was trying to ask is how big of a jig head and how much extra weight would you use in this situation. I've seen guys here that still use just the jig and others that use a weight in front of their jig

I would use a 3/ 8 egg sinker if not too windy...if windy use a half oz. egg sinker........run your line through the sinker and make three or four loops through it to hold sinker in place....leave about 18 inches on the tag end to tie on to your jig. I would use a 1/8 oz jig.

In that case, I usually run a 4 jig setup and it depends on the wind. In light wind, I use 4 - 1/16 oz jigs and in windy conditions, I use 4 - 1/8 oz jigs but I usually don't fish deeper than 25 feet. Hope this helps some.

I run two jig set ups.....thats all we can use in MS......thats what I run Spider rigging with a half oz. Weight between them.
