They work great.............if you can't feel a bite with a drift rod! j/k Sometimes jigs outfish everything, I just try to only use em' when thats the case. Personally I do much better with eggies or shrimp under the ol dinkaroo. But when its too sticky or slow the floats the way to go. Wow, I sound like RT, writin' songs and ****. I remeber one day on the shush-shush river. The fish wouldn't touch drift gear, but we hooked so many DANDY nates we went through about 40 jigs! By the end of the day we were talkin' like Bill Dance. Come er' ya pretty littl' thang! I mean we were reefin' fish in all day. And the jigs were the ticket!
