I used to hate to fish with jigs. I think the easy way to get a feel for it is to use a swimming jig with a Paca Craw trailer. I usually let it sink to the bottom then just keep it moving and hopping along. If you feel something that you think might be a strike, just take up the slack and see if a fish is there and set the hook. It is amazing how long a bass will hold onto a jig. Fish it around cover and I promise you will catch fish.
