Now days, the average NHLer is over six feet tall and weighs 205. That is pretty much the norm in all sports, with the exception of golf and a few others. In recent years, I have seen a lot of people using smaller jigs. I can recall having tackle boxes with nothing else in them. Over the years, the rods, reels and line we use have assisted in our being able to feel smaller lures.
All jigs have their time and place, and can be used in a number of situations.
This is true, when you take into consideration how many different ways you can fish with them. I love jigs for the pure enjoyment of feeling the fish bite. It is exciting to me when a fish hits a jig. I think this is pretty unique over every other method of fishing. This past spring I was able to head back to my hometown of Bismarck, North Dakota.
