splashhopper Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I tried a "wooly bugger" on an 6lb main line with a 4'-4lb leader and no wait or float on Saturday in a little hole i was fishing. Just jigging it up and down under a tree.. WHAMMMO! Rainbow hit it so hard I almost dropped my rod ! Lost the fish after a minute as I couldn't really tell how deep he was because I couldnt see the swivel where my mainline atttached to the leader. ( That's my excuse and I am sticking to it to! lol) Then i tried putting the little jig under the float to no avail. So i go back to the first set up and WHAMMO! Another one nails it and i just played it right out till he was done! ( fried him up on shore about 30 minutes later too) So my question is: How the heck do i fish those jigs in other spots on the river ? Under a float? Straight line and leader and weight and with some kind of marker on it? Any suggestions ( with pics) would be great. Thankx splashopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
