hey yall how do u work a jig under a cork??any special techniques? cause i know u dont just let it sit..any help is appreciated

I know alot of people use slip floats, but I've personally had better luck using the little spring floats from Wal-Mart (the mid-sized green and white Thill floats made of balsa). Depending on the weather conditions, I change how I work it. If it's kinda breezy, I'll often just let the wind do the work for me in moving it, with just an occassional twitch from me. If it's pretty calm, I'll either just leave it sit with a twitch every few seconds, or reel extremely slow with an occassional twitch.

twitch, move, sit, twitch, move, sit...or slowly reel it in....be ready when it comes to a stop

We have had some success with rattle bobbers and a jig. Throw it out, twitch it a couple of times, real in the slack and repeat.

I'm a fan of these as well. You can also see any movement, including when they pick up your jig.

I actually noticed a difference this spring in the place I was fishing. They would hardly hit under a slip float, but they'd nail it under a spring float. Wasn't an issue of not detecting bites either, cos they'd grab and run, sinking the float.

sring float ,red and white, about the size of a quarter .i like them because they seem to cast farther / your right hunter , they goes under nicely . cast twitch and retrieves slowly . you can close your eyes and still detect the hit ifyou keep your rod tip straight up

cool cool and im guessin those techs are done with jsut regular jigs..i thought ive seen somebody fishing like a roadrunner or some spinner kind of jig under a cork..same way???or even possible??

If you wade fish use the cork meathod to locate them and then inch your way slowly up within a rods length (9') loose the bobber and feel the thump-thump, it'll drive you crazy..

dfisherman ,the whole concept is being able to leave the jig as long as you want in the strike zone while fishing shallow water . you can you roadrunners but more than like like just a regular jig will do .save your roadrunner for casting areas quickly once you find a productive hole .remeber to vary the depths because 1 ft can make a difference if you dont get any bites

We used the Bobber Jigging concept today at Marine Creek (FW). Caught only a few Crappie, but more small to medium sized Bass. Did however catch a really nice 14.5" slab in about 3 foot of water amongst some stick-ups.

Usually we use minnows, but decided that for today we would just stick to jigs. I think we need more practice/experience at 'em. Which is the primary reason we usually end up switching back to minnows.

from my experience this is a cold water technique when they dont require as much to survive . minnas do seem to work better when water is warm and hot .

Haven't done much of it, but have seen some that do well.

people sometimes make too much out if this . i promise its very easy ,when the time is right that is

OK. Time for a dummy to ask a question. How do you use a spring float. I bought some but every time I cast it slides down towards my jig. Anyone go a pic of how to rig it up?
