not much action at all . a bump every 10 sec. or so . I have found that holding it as still as possible works as well if not better some days . Do not be surprised that sometimes 30-60 sec. will trigger a bite . marabou is good . I like it in clear water in smaller sizes on 4 lb . test .Most of my jigs are made by crappie logic (site sponsor )and Bobby Garland . throw in a supply of Slider grubs and roadrunners and you got it . Biggest mistake I made was not using small jigs early . I now carry 1/100-----1/8 oz .
