i fish water depths similar to NIMROD. I fish with a BnM sharpshooter. 5 1/2 feet long with a 1/16th ounce jig and a 1/4 ounce rubber core sinker above the jig about 15 inches up the line. If You get hung, You just give a little slack and then shake the rod tip like crazy and 9 times out of 10, the jig pops loose. Don't pull hard when You get hung. That will set the hook into the brush. Only thing You can do then is break off and retie. I use 4 pound test because it is easy to break off a hung jig. jigs are cheap and having a reel with a good drag, keeps the big ones from breaking off. Learn to tie a knot fast. practice when Your not doing anything at home. Then You can tie on a jig in ten seconds and loose little time on the water.
