I asked for some advice on what jigs to pull on the jig tying board so maybe we will get some help on what hand tied jigs works for longlining. Hair, feather or zonker. The thread is "Question" :D easy enough.:)Quote:

One of the best jigs to long line with is bobby garland stroll'r. I believe u need something that gives off vibration in the water.
AUTiger summed it up pretty well as well as GaBowman & StumpHunter. As for the "hair" jigs for trolling, YES they work as well as the curly tails. Check out the selection of Jiffy Jigs on their website. Color assortment just like you will find on curly tails, tripple ripples, and straight tails. You can tip with a minnow or crappie nibble better on a "hair" jig. I use them more when slow trolling and will double rig in a heartbeat. When fishing two persons in the boat, the one in front is usually using heavier jig heads and/or double rigs covering the deeper water and the person in the back of the boat will be running singles or lighter heads and working the upper water level. This way the boat is covering more water with a large assortment of colors until you key in on what they want to do that day. Using different rod lengths in the front will help for sure avoid some tangles while covering a wider area of water too.
Snake River has took over making the Jiffy jigs. Here is a link to his thread about them.

Best way to learn is to get out and pull em. Speed is critical, so in your off time in the summer, tie on some 1/16 jigs, find a couple of flats and slow down til you start bumping bottom(be sure yo use at least 3 rods with similar casts to get consistancy) then speed up til they stop. Write down the speed and head weights. The go to a shallower or deeper flat and repeat. A c average in the 9th grade will give you enough mathamatical sence to find the in betweens.
After that, do the 1/32nd and so on. lotta work to be good at it!!! A friend bought a jig assortment from Slabmaster Baits
and they gave him a 1/16 speed chart.
