Why is it every time I try fish with minners I can't catch a darn fish one but I put on a Jig and catch all the darn fish but one. for example my dad can sit right next to me put a minner in the water and catch a fish i put a minner right next to where he is about 6 inches to a foot away from his spot and won't catch a thing but I put jig down there and I start catchin them am I doing somthing wrong or what is it any help.
Maybe your just a true to heart jigger and think of the money you'll save by not
needing minners which die.
How are you hooking them? I hook them up through the bottom of the lip and when I fish with someone who does it different, through the back for example, they don't do near as good as me.
Did you spit on them?
What's a minnow. does it have hair or bucktail
All this talk about jig and minnows in making me want to get out and fish. The slabs are calling my name. I think the sun is actually coming out...:cool:
It's the confidence factor.
Your doing nothing wrong James, only use minners when ya have to.
For me, its just the opposite. Minnows, never leave home without them! :)
I have hooked them thru the lip, eye's, back, and the tail and still no good for meQuote:

Its an even better feeling when the jig head and plastic body are homemade. It was such a nice feeling when I caught my first fish on plastic I had poured myselfQuote:
