Underspin
When/Where: When you want a compact baitfish look that tracks true—roaming fish on weedline outsides, rock transitions, bridge corners, or basin edges.
How: Thread the Minnah perfectly straight so the skirt flares evenly. Use a slow, steady retrieve; add short pauses to let the bait settle and the skirt “breathe.”
Why: The skirt adds presence without adding length, and a solid body holds up well when you’re covering water and getting repeated “pecks.”
Tuning: If it rolls, re-thread centered and reduce speed—most roll comes from a slightly crooked rig.
Drop Shot
When/Where: Tough bites, cold fronts, or when you’re marking fish that won’t fully commit—shallow breaks to deep open water.
How: Nose-hook (or light-thread) to keep the skirt free. Shake slack, not the weight—aim for “hover and shimmer,” not big hops.
Why: You get skirt pulse with very small inputs, while the solid body stays planted on the hook through repeated bites and resets.
Tuning: If fish are short-striking, shorten your leader and reduce shake amplitude—let the skirt do the work.
Hover Jig
When/Where: Suspended or pressured fish when you want controlled “lift + drift” along steep breaks, over sparse cover, or above bait.
How: Rig straight; pop the rod tip to lift, then follow it down on semi-slack so it drifts naturally.
Why: The skirt pulses on both the fall and the pause—enough “life” without needing aggressive snaps.
Tuning: If it drops too fast, lighten the head or shorten your pops to keep it hovering instead of plunging.
Ned Rig
When/Where: Rocky flats, sparse weeds, calm conditions, and “pecking” bites—also sneaky-good around edges where panfish and bass mix.
How: Thread on a small Ned-style head; keep the skirt at the collar so it flares on the pause. Drag slowly with micro shakes.
Why: It reads like a tiny baitfish hovering near bottom—skirt adds life while you keep the retrieve subtle.
Tuning: If you’re hanging up, lighten the head and fish more “tick-tick-pause,” less steady pull.
Standard (Ball) Jig Head
When/Where: Your everyday panfish/walleye presentation—under a float, along weeds, around wood/docks, or over basin schools.
How: Thread it straight; let the skirt sit just behind the head so it flares on the pause. Swim slowly or lift-drop with controlled falls.
Why: Small jig, bigger “presence.” The skirt adds profile and the solid body stays reliable when you’re getting lots of taps.
Tuning: If fish follow, extend pauses and keep your rod tip low to hold depth.
Tip: if you’re getting lots of “taps,” pause longer and keep tension light—this profile is at its best when fish need an extra half-second to commit.
