Jigs and How to Use Them | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Jigs and How to Use Them | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "For starters, I am a firm believer in using braided line.  I usually stick to fifty- pound Power-Pro, and if I am fishing in clear water, I will put a twenty-pound P-Line Fluorocarbon leader that is about twenty inches long.  My rod selection is a seven foot two inch Shimano Sellus Worm/Jig.  My reel is a Lew's Speed Spool Bait Caster with a 6.4:1 gear ratio.  A lot of folks prefer a faster ratio such as a 7.1:1 or a 7.4:1."

Timely tips on fly fishing for steelhead - Outdoors blog - Spokesman.com - Oct. 4, 2012: "Step downstream. Not only is this good etiquette but it is good steelheading. Most trout fisheries are best approached hiking upstream, most steelhead deliveries are best made downstream whether you are swinging a fly or nymphing. Take a step down after each cast. Start a little higher in the run than you think you need to and fish a little further down than you think you need to.
