Tying jigs?

[ninja2010]

dan, where are you located?

as soon as i put a fish on my bobber/jig setup (hopefully soon), i'll be tying all my own jigs. so i'm gonna need a coach. i thought maybe i could come by your shop or something if you don't mind.

well that basically is it you turn your knot on the jig hook so that the knot is facing the point of the hook it makes the jig tail point slightly up when it drifts makeing the profile to a fish look a lot different to me it al most makes it look like a shrimp kicking stright at you becauise if you where looking at it comeing stright throught the water at you the hed is down and the tail is up and the materal polsating in the water looks a lot like a shrmp swimming i think any way it works and will inprove your hok ups good luck Dan
