Fantastic guys, great advice all around. 

Once again, MT, there's stuff you talk that has no interest for me but when you get to fishing, I gladly lend you my ears.  Thanks much.  Your descriptions are really helpful (in fact I'm going to cut and paste your posts here for future reference), I'm getting a pretty good visualization of what this jigging process looks like and can't wait to try it out next summer.

Those Buckeye spinners that you recommended, MT, look very attractive.  Am I assuming correctly that they essentially work the same as the Jig Spinner, except, of course, that the jig in the former is integrated.  If the Buckeye's have better quality swivels then I'd be inclined to just go with them in a variety of weights.

And by the way folks (religion and politics be damned  ::)) this is why I love this site!
