Jigs right now. Haven't bought many minnows in a last few months and when I did jigs were equally successful. I buy more minnows in the winter months though. Sometimes it pays to have a few on hand in case thats what the fish want. Tried to go minnowless back in the winter one day and I almost crappieless too--lesson learned there.

They are biting jigs really well right now and not too picky about the color either.

To answer your question though, I prefer jigs but will use whatever the fish want.

Tight lines!
