Hook sideways with the red dot on one side... pop like a sand eel

You can rig under a cork but use a 1/8oz jig head or smaller

Bingo........I was reading all the post, and wondering if anyone talked about the weight of the jig head. I mostly use a 1/8 oz, but put on a 1/4 oz when I need/want to make longer cast. How you work the bait is usually more important than what color you use.

IMO.....the lighter the better. If you are using a 3/8 oz, you are probably not catching as many fish as you would using a lighter jig head.
