Decatur Causeway Report 10-19

I tie a jig on with a palomar knot leaving 18 inches dangling below it and then do the same 12-14 inches below the first jig. takes about a minute to do if I have my reading glasses with me.

I usually pre-tie some and wrap on a piece of styro. I use either two 1/32 or a 1/16 and 1/32 on bottom. Sometimes, I will trim the bottom head to 1/64.
