Since I don't use minnows I don't know what "average" price per dozen is . Can someone help me out so I can compare, whether it is cheaper to use jigs or minnows? I have been fishing last week and this week and see lots of folks fishing minnows while I long line troll jigs. Granted I spend lots of money on jigs, so my wife says (she is probably right). I know price is gonna vary from what part of NC you are from, so just to help I am from piedmont area. Thanks for any replies in advance.
