Trolling hand ties

Anyone trolling hand tied jigs?

I seem to do better on Bobby garlands because of the bait movement i suspect.

Comments?

Thanks

I do use hand ties as I tight line. I will generally have two minnows,two plastics and two of my hand ties. Catch rate is about even across all lines. All lines are at the same depth,colors will vary till I see a pattern.

I have used my little Roadrunners for years, well since the late 1970's when I stumbled on to trolling with my troll motor. I do really well with my nah ties trolling, but I use 1/32 Oz all the time in Spring and Fall. Oh and of course these all have marabou tails.

Hand ties are all I use, when I am trolling. Black chartruese and purple chartruese are my favorites, 1/32oz or 1/16oz head with #4 hooks.

I'm gonna try em again tomorrow
At least 1/2 of the rods

Would you that troll with them care to share a picture of the kind of jig you use? I am real intrested.

I'm just learning the jig troll game and prefer hand ties. If it doesn't wiggle I think it should flash if trolled. Pony jigs are my favorite but I am by no means an expert.

For some 1/32 Oz jigs I long line troll with.

Spring and fall for me...

Then summer tight lining and slow trolling would be things like this.

Believe it or not natural colored, ungaudy 1/80 oz w/#8, 10 have been very successful for me short-lined no-weight added. Astonishing results 10 feet behind transom!

In the spring when I fish with my neighbor so many times I look and can see his Pony jig not very far behind the boat and catching fish!

Spring meaning we are fishing 6' to 8' of water then.

I like to troll hair and marabou jigs along with plastic.
I do believe that I catch more fish on the plastic, but I feel the hair jigs produces a better quality fish.
