Techniques - Fishing a Fin-s or similar soft plastic on a leadhead

Several of our newest members have mentioned that they appreciate coming here, but feel somewhat intimidated by our members who have years of experience, and know how to modify their fishing for different situations.

That's a good point. If you are inexperienced, you can be nearby an angler who is using the same setup as you, and outfishing you 5 to 1. I decided to set up a series of threads to help our newest members learn "How" and "Why". The "where" will be your responsibility.

If we can teach you how and why, then we have accomplished our goal of helping people to become better anglers. Anyone is welcome to join in, and give their feedback on what works for them in different conditions.

My favorite jig for weaks. For back bays, I use a 1/2 to 3/4 oz jig, thread it on there just like freshwater rubber worm, hook pointing out. Pink is the schnizzle, I don't bother with any other color. Slow retrieve, might have to cast 150 times for a big tiderunner.
