jigging with a flyrod?

[pookiebar]

You can successfully cast a regular jig head with a fly rod. You will need a very stiff actioned rod in a 6 wt or higher to do so with much success. Also using a sink tipped line will help, Orvis makes a good one that you can attach to your regular line with a speed loop system. Your leader sould not be longer then about 5 - 6 feet, and needs to be 8 lb test or stronger because the speed of the fly/jig can tend to break your knots.

Last but not least, you need a good stiff spine yourself because you will eventually whack yourself in the back of the head with one of these jigs, and a 1/4 ounce jig to the back of the head hurts like hell!
