I also rigged up another rod today with Ronnie's winter
recommendation....jig-n-pig. Never ever fished that combo before, but my
son also endorsed the idea.

Glad he thinks that will work, too. I am sure he knows a lot more
about fishing that I do.

You have seen my post that in the past two weeks I have won and got
big fish in one tournament and got big fish in another with the jig
and pig. A jig and pig is known for catching big bass.

If you are fishing a lot of shallow wood cover like cypress tree roots
and knees I would use a fairly light jig - 1/8 to 1/4. A heavier jig
will drive you crazy in heavy wood. Also try to find a jig with the
eye set at an flat angle to the head - if it is at a right angle the
head will hang on every limb.

Did your son have any color suggestions? I basically use brown and
brown in clear water and black and blue in stained water.
