Jigging Spoons

[dmac14]

I have never used them before, but i've heard great things. I bought a bunch a few weeks ago and i was just wondering what type of line/rod size and power would you typically use to fish a jigging spoon?

lots of different ways to go here and i've tried most of 'em. in the end, my favorite is a 7' MH fiberglass rod moderate action and 25 lbs. mono. any decent crankbait rod would make a good choice. the heavy mono hangs the spoon up longer for a more natural dying minnow fall. the moderate action keeps fish buttoned on better. the longer the handle the better because jigging gets tiring and, with a long handle, you can tuck one end under an arm or using two hands.
