For fishing jigs and plastics on baitcasting equipment, what lb line test is best for all purposes?
My Jigs Size setup is a 7'MH rod with a Shimano Citica. The jig sizes are anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 oz jigs. If I am using Seaguar ABRAZX fluorocarbon, which lb test is best for all purpose jig and worm fishing.

    Both your line and rod are definitely too heavy. Switch to an ultralight spinning rod between five-and-a-half and six-feet with either four or six pound mono. Instead of using heavy Roadrunners, try marabou or crappie jigs in white and in one-sixteenth-of-an-ounce with a Chamois trailer about an inch long. You might even try using one as light as one-thirty-second. To get better and farther casting distance, you can use a float and work your crappie jigs in a technique called the “Float-’N-Fly”. In my opinion, you’ll honestly have better luck catching some slab crappies this way.What kind of knot are you tying your jigs with? Don’t use snaps or swivels, tie direct. And you might consider using different knots, here’s a couple links to some knots.Palomar knot…http://www.animatedknots.com/palomar/index.php?Categ=fishing&LogoImage=LogoGrog.jpg&Website=www.animatedknots.comImproved Clinch knot…http://www.animatedknots.com/improvedclinch/index.php?Categ=fishing&LogoImage=LogoGrog.jpg&Website=www.animatedknots.com

    Ultimately, it comes down to preference. People have different opinions for different sized rods. If it were me, I would probably go with the 7 footer for jigs, plastics, and cranks. A longer rod tends to have more sensitivity, which will help detect lighter hits when using jigs and plastics. A longer rod also allows you to cover a little more water, which is good when throwing crankbaits.

    I’d use a light or ultralight pole with a decent spinning reel and 4-pound test mono (6 pound if you think you’ll hook into some big, hard fighting browns). Sight fish if you can — cast upstream and past (across the stream) any holding fish you can see. As the current carries the jig toward the fish, reel in (not too fast) while jigging the lure. Reeling in and jigging at the same time will do several things. First, it will keep the jig from sinking to the bottom of the stream. Second, it will keep some tension on the line between you and the jig, so that you can feel a strike. If you feel a strike, obviously, set the hook by firmly lifting your rodtip. Do it quickly but don’t get crazy and pull it away from the fish. Third, reeling and jigging will activate the fluid movement of the Marabou tail and give the jig a swimming motion. In other words, you want that jig to swim right in front of a holding trout. The jig comes down stream toward the trout and passes in front of its field of vision and heads toward you as you reel it in. A larger jig is supposed to look like a struggling minnow or sculpin that has somehow lost control in the current. Smaller feather jigs can imitate aquatic insect larva, drown terrestrials (bees or hoppers), shrimp, or fish fry. As the jig passes by you in the current, it should reach “your” side of the stream. Reel it in the rest of the way and try again. So, for example, if your stream is 20 feet wide, you should cast maybe 30 or 40 feet upstream and to the far side of the stream, jig and reel toward you, and the jig will finish its run on your side of the stream 15 feet downstream from where you are. If you can’t sight fish (if you can’t directly observe the fish), then pass the jig through likely holding lies — places where fish are probably holding in the current and feeding on passing forage. Under overhanging streambanks, in holes, behind rocks, in plungepools, under foamlines, current edges, etc. etc. Work pocket water and holding areas systematically. Work your way upstream. If you catch a fish, put the lure back in that lie again — another fish may be close by and/or may move into that slot. These techniques will work with browns or rainbows without preference, though you might find the browns a little more aggressive. If you have any bass, sunfish, or panfish in the stream, fish them the same way, though spinners might work better than jigs.Color — if you don’t know the waterway, you’ll have to build your own dataset by trial and error and by asking around. If you see others on the stream, ask them what they use. Track your successes and failures with various colors. If I came upon your stream with a spinning outfit and a wide range of Marabou jig colors and sizes, I’d start big (1/2 oz. or maybe even bigger) and bright (white, yellow, pink) and work down toward small (all the way down to 1/32 oz. and dull (olive, brown, grey, black). Big and bright jigs have a better chance of catching big fish. If no fish are willing to eat that more flashy fare, go smaller and darker. Smaller jigs will be harder to cast — be creative. One thing you can try is two very small jigs. Tie on one jig and then tie a section of line to the hook bend to tie on another jig. This gives you less movement on both jigs but it gives you more casting weight and more visibility. Get a pair of waders and always be on the move. Remember, though, fish in a stream will generally stay oriented with their noses pointing upstream. Always stay downstream of the fish you’re targeting, and stay downstream of unfished water.The proper line setup (for me) would be your jig tied to the end of the line (no swivels, no sinkers) with a jig loop, shown here:http://www.bamabassfishing.com/animatedfishingknots.htmlThe reason you want to use a jig loop is that it allows the eye of the jig to swivel and move around. This is important for a good swimming movement of the jig. Just be sure to check and retie this knot as you catch fish — it is not as strong as other, tighter knots. If you suspect you are spooking fish with your line, tie a 2-foot section of fluorocarbon leader to your mono. It’s virtually invisible in water and very strong.It’s too late now, but this technique is a KILLER for brown trout in November and early December, when brown trout are spawning. They become very territorial and aggressive and will slash and bite at anything they interpret as a threat to their spawning redds. Under such conditions it is not uncommon to hook browns in the nose, chin, or gill plate, because they are not necessarily trying to feed on the lure, but slash at it to chase it off or kill it. I have watched brown trout chase small jigs and spinners into water so shallow that their dorsal fins, backs, and the top fork of their caudal fins were out of the water.Good luck — hope you catch a few.

    I also have different rods for those situations….But what fallows are what I would consider the best for what you are looking for…AND I also own these rods.Powell Casting Rod 6’8″ Med Hvy EF 683C (EF=Extra Fast) $140Powell’s 6’8″ Medium-Heavy Casting Rod is an ideal rod for spinnerbaits, small jigs, or senkos. With a line rating from 10 to 17 pound test an a lure weight of 1/4 to 3/4oz this rod provides a broad selection of baits to be fished. The sensitive extra-fast action rod tip allows for accurate casts and quick solid hooksets.http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/descpageRDCPOWELL-PCR.htmlFalcon LowRider XG Cast 6’6″ MH/Fast Act $110This rod is our #1 selling LowRider.

The more sensitive the rod the more prone they are to breaking…especially the tips. Just a friendly warring.I have NEVER had a Falcon or a Powell fail in any form.Both these brands are great rods…you also get a lot of rod for not very much money that will last a long time (my falcons are over 10 yrs old) They are well made as well.Good Luck

    What you use for crappie and panfish sounds good to me. Are you talking about white bass? Or those hybrid stripers? A 1/4 oz sounds good for those too.

    You might try 2 pieces of 1 1/2″ angle iron clamped together (C clamps) on each side of where you want to bend. securing it will require 2 wooden saw horses, by cutting a grove just wide enough to fit the down side of the angle iron into a regular skill saw witt work cutting 2″ deep into the saw horse.

  8. Old grandpa Says:

    For most bream as we call them,the smallest beetle spin that can be found is usually the bait of choice. If I don’t have the beetle spin then I’ll use a 1 1/2″ curly tail and thread it on the lightest jig head I can cast . Sometimes the water depth will dictate that I use a heavier jig. You didn’t ask but down here in Alabama where that 4 lb 12 oz bluegill came from I always count on three colors to catch them, yellow, white,and chartruse.

    For what kind of fish there trey? Thanks for answering the question of what fish. I take it the flounder in the bay aren’t targeted much anymore so using the tide and current in depths of less than 15 feet use 3/8 oz up to 25 feet 5/8 oz and deeper add a half oz for every twenty feet more the thing is that the presentation needs to be upstream heading downstrem if you are drifting with the wind and it is blowing in the wrong direction you could not get to the bottom in order to present the bait the proper direction. You might need to increase the weight in that case or pull off to a wind protected cove and fish the incoming water off the upstream point knowing that many of the preditor fish will hold just behind it in the eddy created by the wash around the corner of it.

    lol its funny and that you use a good similevery nice!

    All you need to do is to go to Kregs website and download the instructions, it is very simple to understand and to use. If you can use a clamp and use a drill, then you can do this no problem. I have the deluxe system and it works great. I use it a lot for hiding my screws in cabinet work when on the job site. You will need to get different size bits for different size screws, but that goes without question. The right tool for the right job. You will also find that using this tool makes a very good and strong joint.cheers

    The best thing to use is a Dremel tool. If you dont have that, draw out your circles then follow the lines using a drill with a small bit at the highest speed. Just take your time and it will work fine.
