BTW, what size hook? I bought #1's so I can use them elsewhere too but they seem a little small for chums.
I used size 1 hooks the other day, and they worked fine. I prefer smaller hooks, actually, as you'll foul hook fewer fish. As for whether you should jig or retrieve, I don't think it makes a difference. I'm guessing you'll snag more fish in the belly by jigging, though, than you would with a slow retrieve.
