Jig Weight Tidbits

Jigs are one of the "good for everything" lures for catching fish, but it's also very important to have the proper jig weight for the fishing line weight that you are using. If your jig is too heavy for the fishing line that you are using you will be snapping your line and loosing a lot of jigs. If your jig is too light for your line, it's swimming action will be erratic and it will be useless at attracting those big ole' bass. This is a little chart to help you tweek your set up.
