freestyle jigs

[Gunpowder]

im gonna give it a try with the butterfly setup and see how it works that way. i recently watched an outdoor program on guys butterfly jigging for rooster fish and man did that look fun. just not sure if this is something that has stayed down south for a reason or if it just hasn't been tried to much up here.

Ever since modern braided line became available I have used 3-4 oz DH stingers and crippled herring to "vertical" jig for bass in the big rips behind Nantucket and the Vineyard with excellent success. You lob the jig in front of the rip and bounce it over the ridge into the trough while the boat slides along the face of the rip. Works better than wire line jigging (and is much more fun) most of the time.
