I think it's what your best at or what's triggering the bite that day. Post front bites here on Eufaula....big shiners always catch more & bigger crappie than do jigs. E.B. uses both when spiderriggin and the numbers back that up. Huckabee is jig only, and I suspect so is Barry. Speculate on this theory....a moving/swimming bait vs. a stationary bait? I believe on days they wont move to get a bait you have to slow WAY down. But on the peak feeding times your catch rate triples on jigs because there's no hook baiting downtime? It's been a while since I've fished Oolagah and we did good on jigs most of the time. And falling water levels present a tough day for jigs on any lake.
