when jigging deep u wanna use braid, you need to feel the bites and ticks of the bottom, mono/floro wont give you that in deep water. I also drift and jig, and also drift a few rods w fishfinder rigs right on bottom w shiners/herring the lakers hit those too. if you get some good marks you can definitely chum them and they go nuts, save your dead bait and cut them with scissors into 4 or 5 pieces and chum the water up wind and up current and jig the other side, they will rise 20-30 ft to hit a jig when fired up

are you using any mono/fluoro leader with your jigs or tying directly to the jig? also are you using any swivel between jig and line?
