I have been flipping four a few years but never felt comfortable. Based on some things you’ve said I switched up one my favorite rods to use which is a Bass Pro 7-3 medium heavy, put 25 lb fluorocarbon on it, Texas rid with a 3/16 or 1/4 oz weight and 4 ot straight shank hook, with either a Crush City Bronco Bug or Clean Up Craw. And since this change I have fell in love with flipping or pitching. That Clean Up Craw is the 💣.

Thanks Mark for your suggestions. Back in the 70's & 80's jig n pig was one of my favorite baits. Just got a Ranger361V two years ago & started fishing again but haven't thrown one yet. My wife like to fish so been throwing crankbaits & spinnerbaits it's easy for her to learn. Plus moving more which she likes. Thanks for sharing 👍 Good luck this season 👍

Honestly I normally have at least 2 jigs on my deck at all times... it's a combination of finesse jig and heavy cover flipping or football jig and sometimes it's all of those and a swim jig. I love my livescope but growing up in the SW Louisiana/E Texas area I've caught some absolute giants on jigs a few of which were double digits. So regardless of advancements in technology or techniques a jig will always be apart of my starting lineup. Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!

I’ve never been a jig fisherman but i have recently gotten interested in it. I always hear people talking about the heavier line from 15-20+lb and trying to figure that out when most of the reels i have are recommend 12lb .31mm 120yd max line, so how are you running so thick of line when essentially you will have less line spooled?
