I just about always fish minner over jig rigged in tandem ( Caps n Coleman type rig ).There have been times when I have fished jigs only when couldn't get minners but being I'm kinda new to catching white perch / crappie / sac au late, I feel like I need all the advantages I can get. There have been times when the jigs out fished the minners but not many. I believe as I gain confidence and experience I will probably go to jigs only.
