do you run one or two jigs per rod ?
I run one
You can run 2, folks do it both ways
If you can run two it's a numbers game. Sometimes in shallower water you can only get away with one.
WHEN RUNNING TWO DO YOU USE A HEAVIER JIG ON BOTTON ? SAY A 1/32 OVER A 1/16 ? I know depth and speed will dictate total weight YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH JUST WONDERING IF THEY WILL PLLL BETTER IF NOT THE SAME SIZE .
When I pull doubles I put the light head on the end of the line. It will stay above the heavy head and make for less tangles.
I usually only have one jig on, but I have seen a friend (currently a guide) down on Weiss Lake pull two 1/24oz Jiffy Jigs and do just fine.Quote:

Always heavy jig first and lighter jig on the end.Quote:

I use 2 sometimes to get the right depth. If your marking fish 10 ft down 2 1/16 jigs will put you in the money but so well one 1/8 jig is just up to you.
WHERE WILL 2X 1/8 BE ON 6 LB. TEST ?Quote:
