Learning the jig

[Wesley]

I am wanting to learn to fish the Jig, I am thinking of goin to BPS and buying a plano tacklebox and stuffing it with Various jigs.

Taking all my other tackleboxes out of my boat and goin out every day with nothing but a jig to throw.

Do you think that would help me learn to fish them?

With a $60-$100 price range:

What brand jigs would you buy?

What weight?

Color selection?

What jig would you fish in stained( 1 to 2 foot vis) water?

What depth ranges would you reccomend a certain weight jig at?

How do you work a jig shallow and deep?

Ok Wesley I'm going to give you a little home work; click on the following link and it will open up Lakecaster Magazine online a publication you should be very aware of since it about Toledo Bend & Rayburn. When you open the link you will see a lot of dates from 2001 thru 2006 and if you click on each one you will find almost every tournament fished on both lakes. Many will have baits used, area of the lake fished, depth of water and lures used; this will be plenty information to get you started.
