MJ is right on. You really need a long rod and nothing fishes a jig better that the Thill turbomaster #3. It needs no weight other than your jig.

You can fish them without a float, but you will lose pleanty of jigs that way. They are rock magnets.

Color cerise, cerise, cerise. For a change try cerise.

Most important aspect is to have absolutely no drag. That's where the long rod is sooo valuable.
