Without any knowledge of where you are fishing it I will give you an around the world standard jig deal. Jigs can be dragged or hopped along the bottom of your lake in the same places that you would use a Carolina Rig (make sure its a hard bottom area). You can target specific structure with them, like stumps rocks, etc. You can punch them through weed mats and lilley pads. You can also swim it. I like to yo-yo them like a lipless crankbait bait thats just me. In my opinion you really cant fish a jig wrong. As for rigging it there are plenty of videos out there to explain that.
