To start - I am no expert and really just trying to learn a little more about this whole game.

That said - When I started a few years ago I used to use heavy jigs and a conventional setup, with varied success. Lately I have been using lighter - 1.5-3 oz jigs on a 1205 in different spots and tides and have got a 1209 spinning for the heavy stuff.

My question is - with conventional I used to hit the clutch and let out line to continue the drift where possible and found that to be a good way to keep the jig on a good drift - eels worked like this too.

For those of you that use spinning to jig with do you not do this? For that matter - how many of you let out line either way-spinning or conventional?
