I think the article along with the video really puts the technique in perspective, thanks for the article Len. I have done well over the years fishing my 1/8oz rabbit hair jigs and buck tail jigs and I never considered going smaller, about the only thing I would do is add a trailer or take a trailer off, that is it. When I found this web site it changed my tying and my fishing, I got better at both. I began tying jigs for crappie as well as trout but my cold water bass fishing got better, I was catching more and not just the cold water period, I was applying the hair jig in warm water sometimes using a fixed float and I was catching while others weren't, true, they weren't giants but I had action and I got some decent size fish too. I will say that the method of "sissy jigging" is something that if I'm out in the cold and I don't get a bite in an hour, well I'm going home because the technique is that good that even in the worst conditions it has produced bites so I know if they won't hit that, then they won't hit much anything else either.
