I never use jigs with minnows. I just hook them up thru the bottom of the lips with a minnow hook and a split shot about 6 inches up. I used to put the split shot about 12 inches up but I found this gives the minnow too much line to roam around and get caught in the brush. Also, the deeper I'm fishing , the bigger the shot I use.
