10/21/2019 6:32:05 PMGreat to hear the fishing has been picking up out there. Any particular reason why you like the 1/2oz vs. 3/8oz in those twitchin jigs? Faster sink rate? More versatile for higher flows?
Great tip about casting to those non-jumping fish too...I've been fishing a lot of eggs and when I can't get bit on eggs been tossing some spinners...Not long after swinging a spinner through a run lo and behold the silvers make themselves known jumping and hitting my spinners. Had lots of drive by's and an occasional hookup that way :)

I use 1/2 ounce jigs probably 90% of the time; I just feel like I’m typically fishing deeper spots so yeah the faster sink rate is a plus and I think the extra weight adds extra speed to the downward motion of the jig which may trigger more strikes.

I've noticed that fishing my sliding bobber setups...
I often run a little heavier than I need to in order to get it down fast at the top of a run, fast current, etc...Quite often as soon as the line hits the water, the bobber goes down before I even have a chance to reel all the slack, mend and proper orientate the float!
Thanks and tight lines!
