Fishing 102, Episode 8: Jigging for Panfish

Jigs are some of the simplest yet effective lures for catching many of the species anglers pursue in North America, north to south, east to west. While natural baits are often effective for catching panfish, jigs dressed with a small, soft-plastic bait, and you can score big numbers. Thomas Allen of In-Fisherman goes out equipped with the St. Croix Panfish Rod and the Shimano Sedona 1000 FI reel to show you how fun fishing for this family of fish can be.
