Great Video!
Any difference in how you fish with jigs in lakes versus rivers? I too am intrigued. Never tried this technique, but definitely seems like a good method for those bluebird days.

I'm no pro but would asume most lakes have streams, rivers, or some kind of inflow as well, which in return creates current or flowages with breaks and dropoffs. But that would be just a guess.

Great video. Loved the hookset and nice to see The Man actually work it. I definitely picked up a tip about my drop technique and plan to fish my bondies a little more this season.

Jon,
Great video! I have been meaning to buy one of your baits and now I must! Have fished the fuzzy with some luck in the past and I need to do some more jigging. I want to get out your way this summer, but I think it should work on the lakes in our area as well.
What's the deal with the net? Did you fill it with foam or is there another secret to keep it floating (at least it seemed like it was and you weren't concerned)?
It might be tough to get good underwater video while jigging that deep, but it would be really cool if it worked out!

Awesome vid, I think I'm going to have to try that where I fish.
Bondy

Thanks all. I generally fish it 18-30 ft here, but I've heard of guys using it as deep as 60 on some northern lakes. The lake trout guys use them well over 100.

you don't need current to use these...I started using them a few years ago on lakes in WI and for the amount of hours I have used them I have caught a high # of muskies on them...and even big walleyes...

Awesome video!! What I really appreciated was the detail you described in what to use and how to use it. I have never tried anything like this, but the Mississippi is right out my back door. We dont have shipping channels up here but there are definite deep channels and while watching this video I was already thinking of areas I have found over the years that I want to try this.
Trouble is right now the river is so high that I really hate fishing out there. So much current flowing along with logs and everything else.
One question, you commented about following the breakline, do you ever try to hold in one specific spot and jig? Reason I ask is that I have found some sunken treasures, what I believe are old ice breakers or something that are in like 20 feet of water, that top out at 12 right in the main channel. I have seen tons of baitfish around these things and it is one area I thought about.
