bonju! (good morning)
kiyf inti? (how are you?)
hi, i presume you are from malta!
the best way to avoid weeds and snags is to use a float! set the depth so that the jig is suspended under the float approximately a metre from the bottom...then you will never get snagged. you can cast and retrieve a jig with a float if you want. often it is just best to leave it in one spot and wait for the float to be pulled under.
another option is to use what is called a paternoster rig. a lead weight is place a metre or so below the jig. the sinker may touch the bottom but if you keep a tight line the jig should stay a metre above the bottom. however, make sure that the sinker is not too well connected because if you get snagged, you will lose the sinker and the jig!
cheers, glen
