Ive heard of guys using a piece of bait on feathered jigs for better results sometimes. Yesterday we were trying 1/16 ounce jigs under small wood grain turbomaster floats for summers in gin clear water with only one take down all morning, that missed hooking up. Later on I cut the feathers off one and put a sandshrimp tail on it and got a steelie right away. We went 2 for 3 using that. The small pink head with the fresh tail looks great.

I suppose thats old type news though?
