Forum Discussion - DONWALLAC1 writes: "Hey, have you tried deep jigging with a Little George? I like to find a steep dropoff into deep water and locate some baitfish, dropping the George onto the bottom, bouncing and jigging it.." http://forums.about.com/ab-fishing/messages?lgnF=y&msg=737.7
Tip of the Week - I posted this to the forum, too. Use the time bad weather keeps you in the house to learn to use a baitcaster. Loosen the free spool and tie on a heavy weight. Hold the rod tip high and release the weight. Try to stop it an inch from the floor without blacklashing. You can train your thumb to be smart!
