![]() ![]() I like to remove the stock hooks on most of my jigs and replace them with assist hooks. For mackinaw, my top three color patters have always been silver, white and chartreuse. I like jigs in the 1- to 4-ounce range, depending on water depth and wind conditions. As far as leader length goes, run 3-4 feet in darker lakes and up to 15 feet in clean waters. In clear waters, I go with 12- to 20-pound PLine CFX Fluorocarbon. In off-color water, go with the heaviest line you can. Of course, you need a leader between the braided line and the lure. I run 20-pound PLine TCB braid on my reels – braid is a must when fishing deep because of its sensitivity and lack of stretch. It’s a little slower on the retrieve, but the Abu Garcia Ambasseduer 5500 LC is the way to go. There are times, however, when a line counter reel will get you down to the right depth when the fish are suspended. ![]() Pair these rods up with a low-profile bait caster like the Shimano Curado 200 DHSV which has a 7:1 retrieve rate, which makes cranking up from 100+ feet all the faster.
