Jig head weight or bell sinker weight is the key for me in wind. The heavier the better to mitigate wind whip and maximize sensitivity has been my experience.

Some good ideas and have tried it some guess I will have to experiment more. Was recently into a walleye bite were the ticket was to pick the jig up and let it fall on a long cast retrieve and the wind was kicking my butt using the braid compared to what my buddy was getting with the mono. He did have the head of the boat allwing him to face the wind rather than having a cross wind like I had which could make a big difference too. Am thinking about trying to drop shot fish in this scenario next time.
