setup for jigging?

hello guys, how do you setup your jig poles with line,sinkers,lures,swivels etc. do you direct tie your lures or use some other methods. looking for some advice. thanks Randy [Email][email protected]

It really depends on what your after I will bring five or six rods depending on the day all rigged with something different tell us what your after and im sure plenty of guys would be willinh to share some trademarks

For panfish I like 2 or 3 pound test. I like to tie my jigs directly to the line.Spoons like Slender Spoons or Sweedish Pimples, I have a snap with no swivel. I Have a variety of jigs tied to my rigs and ready to switch. Some of my favorits are Flirty Giry,Moon Glow and almost anything from Custon Jigs and Spins. Hope this helps a bit,Paul

I have three different terminal setups. 1# test Suffix orange is only ever used for super finesse, and those tiny jigs are tied direct with a Palomar or Uni-Knot. My most used rigs have 2# yellow Hi-Vis Stren. One is used with jigs that must hang horizontal or at 45 degrees and those get tied tight with the above mentioned knots. Another rod with 2# Hi-Vis Stren gets a medium size fast snap for lures that hang vertically and or benefit from a loose connection allowing movement, (such as Rembrandts, Purists, Rockers, Cecils, Schmoes etc.). The last rig has 3# green Micro Ice and a cross lok snap for lures that have too big of a gap by the eye for a fast snap, such as Slender Spoons, Kast Masters, and Pimples.

2# gold stren is my favorite panfish line!

Here on the Bay of Green Bay we are generally jigging for larger fish such as Walleyes,Brown Trout and Whitefish.All of my jig sticks are filled with #6 monofilament and depending on what I am jigging with as far as baits I will either tie direct or with a loop knot. By using the loop knot this allows the bait to have maximum movement. In most cases I will tie a barrel swivel around 18 inches above the baits to avoid line twist from happening.

I fish for panfish (bluegill and crappie). I have my rods set up with either trilene micro ice 3# (clear steel and red) or sufix ice magic 3#(clear). I like the suffix better.

For jigs, use the lightest you can get away with. Typically in slack water I’m jigging a 1/100 or 1/80 jig head with a ratso body. The last few days with the river going up, there has been a good current (bad actually) and I have had to use 1/64oz or heavier to stay vertical.

For perch I use the same rods and either a small jigging spoon or a #8-#6 ratso.

hello guy’s sorry for the lack of info in original post. we normally catch walleye and bass on this smaller lake up north. we setup tipups and now i want to do some jigging and use my flasher to add some fun. thanks for all the replies,i appreciate it take care Randy

I do both tie direct and swivel clip onto jigs and spoons.
