I keep seeing reference to making sure the jig hangs horizontally. I assume this means the body of the jig is horizontal to the surface. Does this really make a difference to a fish?

You are trying to make the jig look similar to a bait fish. How many bait fish do you see hanging straight up and down? It just gives it a more natural look. ------------------ David

Okay, AA - here's the scoop in a picture.  left is okay, right is wrong (get it?), and center is the preferred method with the knot to the back of the tie eye. Hope this helps ya... ------------------  [This message has been edited by redfin (edited 06-11-2003).]

Until you learn how to crappie fish, don't worry about "how your jig is hanging". Get the basics down first, then worry about those type things, and most importantly..........have fun.

I don't know..I've used a lot of minnows with their butts dragging. Sometimes it works
