On the days when the fish are hungry they will attack anything and can be caught easily but when they are finicky try a jig. We just go out for the fun of catching these ooglies on rod and reel. If you close your mind off to different options you will have a lot of fishless trips. I will try everything just to satisfy my own curiousity. The jigs are more streamlined and drop at a quicker rate than a spiraling bait that acts like a parachute unless you strap half a railway track to it. Probably the reason why my arms don't get sore after spending a day at the shelf. But each to their own I guess. cheers, Steve.
