I just can't ask my son or SIL since it would be too embarassing, and all the fishing books i've seen, assume i know. I know it has to do with leader. Answer, and the fishing gods will give you luck.

The jig rigs we use out in the ocean consist of a 6ft leader attached to your line that has 4-5 baitless lures/hooks usually wrapped with thread or yarn to simulate shrimp and are used to catch live bait. Smaller hooks are used for the smaller fish like sardines & anchovies and the larger can be used for smelt and even rock cod. The act of "jigging" involves letting some line out with the jigs and then moving your fishing pole up and down gradually to make the lures move. Once a fish "hits" you can either leave the rig down so you can catch others and fill up your line or reel it in and start the process over again. It's a lot of fun!

I believe a jig rig is a set-up designed for using with a bait/lure that you cast, pull up off the bottom, then allow to fall to the bottom again, over and over as you reel it in. Some fish are easiest to catch this way. I assume the point is to have tackle that will not easily tangle in whatever else is down there, except for the catfish....

Is it like a carolina rig? With a leader, about 3 inches of line and then your jig? The eyes go on top...LOL!

I'm not sure what you mean either. If you elaborate a little, I'm sure you'll get some help.
