Alton Jones Line Setup for Flipping Jigs

[TheBombBros]

I like 65# braid for heavy cover. but swin jigs or grass jigs I use 15lb mono, simply because I do not heed to rip bass out of sticks before they lock me up with those types of jigs. Tying leaders is too time consuming in a tourney. but Everyone does theyre own thing, thats why only some people become famous.

It's not even worth it. Most of the time when you are fishing jigs you are getting reaction strikes. The fish doesn't even get a good look at the bait let alone the line. it just adds another place for your line to break. I always use 40+ lb braid when flipping jigs.

@Rayrraff agree ...great comment :)

@Rayrraff and I, on the other hand, always fish 10lb. fluorocarbon, even when I'm pitching and flipping a jig. The reason for this is that the lakes I normally fish are clear and highly pressured by anglers, however, the main cover available to largemouth and spotted bass on my home lake is man-made. Docks, walls, riprap, and a few lawdowns, that's it, no standing timber at all and absolutely zero grass. You've gotta pick the right line according to the situation at-hand.
