    t–I don’t have a favorite length. It’s all about control and where the eye are hang’n.

    I use a short lead 12-24″ in current and snaggy situations. I like longer leads when the eye are under a lot of fishing pressure or like now with the water table very cold and the fish
    are hugging the bottom.

    Bam—-I don’t have a best color !!! I see a lot of guys fall into this. You need to always remain flexable and change to fit the situation. Not to say you need to carry 100 different colored jigs! But keep a good variety of basic river colors,
    such as : Chartruse, hot pink, white, lime green, black, and orange.
    A basic rule of thumb that applies to all our river sport fish
    would be – dark day/dark water use color, brite day/clear water use natural more sedate colors.
