Do I understand jigging correctly ?

Anywhere from 80'- 140' and it must be calm on the water! Send jig down to bottom, bounce off bottom a couple times, reel up a couple feet and jig, repeat until you come up through stacked lakers seen on fish finder screen. Lakers are normally stacked from bottom to 40' off bottom. A standard spinning reel with a 20 lb super braid as your main line with 10' of 15 lb fluorocarbon as a leader. You want to minimize stretch as much as possible. I use a Mitchell 300 reel on a 7' Fenwick medium power graphite spinning rod. Great fun bringing them in on this light tackle...
