Something to remember. Every once in a while I hook a single minnow upside down. Upside down, the minnow is prone to extra antics. Another jig from Northland that has an important place in my tackle box is the Whistler . It has a streamlined head and a small propeller for added sound and flash.
Whistlers are great for casting the shallows, around creeks, rivers and shorelines.
When I pitch it out, I often work it almost like a crankbait. When it gets to bottom, I lift it and stop, lift and stop perhaps a little faster than with a standard jig. With a Whistler I like to turn to plastics as well. Since the Whistlers have a curvature to their hooks, they'll hold plastics in place without tearing off.
