WiregrassRiverRat Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I am currently learning how to pitch/flip jigs and creatures. I know there is a benefit to fishing lighter weight 1/4 ounce or less for a slower fall etc.. but when I drop to these weights I can barely feel the lure and I have a hard time casting it out without getting backlash when trying to let the line out to drop the lure... as opposed to using heavier weights 1/2 oz etc... HELP! SUGGESTIONS. thanks Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted July 23, 2013 Super User Posted July 23, 2013 If you are fishing a standard baitcaster, not designed for light presentations, stick with a 3/8 oz jig and trailer. The trailer will dictate the rate of fall. The Rage Tail raw is slow, the Lobster is MUCH slower. Quote
Brian Needham Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 adjust your cast control. most baitcasters should be able to throw a 1/4oz jig with a rage craw/meaty trailer. a 1/4oz jig+trailer should weight almost 1/2oz. Quote
