Jig fishing is no fad , I was personally introduced to it as a shallow water technique over 30 years ago & it was dynamite then & still is today !
What I missed was that u could use basically same technique in deeper water .
I like many others I'm sure didn't complete the dots until now !
I prefer spin since ur jigs are lighter many times under 3oz's so why cart around heavy outfits which limit feel & can be hvy to hold all day.
Everything about heavier outfits really don't agree with jig n bait technique so lighter faster spin outfits perform these tasks well .
Also u now have spinning reels that stand up well to this fishery , using lighter line gets u deep w/o requiring heavier lures its in my opinion the way to,go,if u choose ur outfit wisely. I
