Haven't been out yet. Newbie here. Just got jigs in mail. does useing a snap swivel make a big difference in jigging or should I not use one. Figure it would make for quick and easy changes at night. Thank for the help, and hope to see you guys down at GI reel <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I, personally, like to minimize hardware as much as possible. The jigs you purchased are very delicate in their presentation.
Here is my rig:
8# mono running line to the spool.
tie to 4# or 6# mono
tie 4" double overhand knot loop
15" space
tie 4" double overhand knot loop
15" space
tie 4" double overhand knot loop
Very simple.
I loop to loop a 1/2 oz or 1 oz bank sinker on the bottom.
I loop to loop a pink jig on the next loop up
I loop to loop a green jig on the top loop.
when I see a pattern of color, I switch to that color - either in my own catching or others around me.
Sometimes I will only tie two (2) loops and in that case will put a weighted jig on the bottom and another above it.
All the jigs I use I either make or I get from Lucky's Bait in Warren, RI or Sam's Bait in Middletown. Good people and they have a great selection and stock.
