That’s why sometimes it takes me half a day to find and figure them out. When you run out of options you have to try something new. It has salvaged a lot of bad days and you end up with another tool in the box.

I really appreciate you sharing your experience. You do bring up a great point about being able to get a lot more casts in by not having to wait so long for the jigs to sink. I've used 1/8 oz and even 3/16 when throwing to open water schools I spot on Livescope in the winter. They seem to move so fast and I can get it down into them better before they move. It just never occurred to me to try the 1/8 around brush piles. I certainly will try it. Especially on the deeper ones.
