Jigs for Tiles?

[Garone Custom Rods]

Yep YoYo is the same as bottom pounding for cod, haddock, hake and pollock. For the dancing jig I have always done best squidding. Tiles will hit jigs squidded off the bottom but always drop back all the way to the bottom. I usually do 10-20 cranks depending on the angle of the line. I have had a 25# fish eat the jig 50'+ off the bottom when I gave up and was reeling in to start another drift.

As far as colors are concerned I haven't noticed much of a difference. For tiles I prefer shiney or glow jigs. Lav jigs also work well even though they are dull. I always put glow skirts on my tile jigs.

I dont think tiles are as picky as cod when it comes to forrage, they are more opportunistic. I know for cod sometimes slim jigs far outperform fatter ones when they are eating sandeels and fatter larger jigs work better when they are eating herring.
