Bridge Jigging can be fun, I usually use a 9ft jigging rod, with a 3/32 or 1/8 jig, this time of year I start at 9ft then work deeper lifting the tip bout 6 inches every so often, usually this time of year I never feel em, the rod just loads up when I lift the tip.
yea you just feel extra weight or they just slam it...i guess it depend's on how they are feeling.. i just picked up a new fenwick UL tonight can't wait to see it bend...hopefully sunday!!! i'll be out for a good part of the day
