[QUOTE="Majorpede, post: 121175, member: 2222"] So got so bored the other day I decided that the cold weather was not going to stop me from fishing. Just got a new Booyaaaaahhhh Jig (just picked it up had no Idea what I actually needed) and told myself fish it until you catch something with it. Walked around the neighborhood pond dragging it hoping it, and using every technique I had ever heard of, and guess what happen. Fish on. The funny thing is 1. He was shallow, and 2. With 50 pound braid, and 20 pound Mono leader (about a foot long) I felt nothing.(this is the setup I use for Plastic's) I actually saw him chase it down as it landed after hoping over a log of wood, and eat it so I set the hook. Its hard to tell in the video but thats about a 5 foot drop to the water. I know I have to get some line that's more visible above water for lite bites. Should I go Braid or Flro? It just makes me wonder how many other bite's I missed that day. My Rods a Med Hvy is this good for jigs in light cover? I know I am going to do more fishing with jig's so any quick pointers or, links to good pointer would be greatly appreciated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEYn--X33uc [/QUOTE]
