Re: speed jigs
Hook placement depends on angler preference and the type of jigging you are doing, and the type of jigs youre working. Most people dont piece together the difference between high speed jigging, slow pitch jigging, flicking a diamond jig, etc. All fall differently and at different rates. One one of the most over sought things ive seen is scope. Guys jigging keep jigging once theyre scoped out not realizing the jig is no longer performing as intended and minimizing the chances of getting bit. The goal is to stay as vertical as possible to get bit. Secondly is cadence. Understand the rate of fall and feel the jig so you know when to raise and drop. Flat fall, buffalo, slow pitch style jigs require a slower cadence and line feel. High speed with a moonriser or nomad streaker require fast, well-timed snaps to obtain the darting action youre looking for... like a scared sand eel or squid.
Its complex but easily one of my favorite ways to fish...
