What depth were you fishing to your bead and how far up your line was your weight? I also use a jig and tie a bead under my jig ~12 inches. It doubles your chance of catching fish. Sometimes it is the jig but most times it is the bead.

2/23/2012 4:49:00 PMKCDEIFE: We were fishing around 8 to 10.5 ft deep. I agree with you, the depth to your spit shot is much more important than the depth to your bead. Also, I was playing around with the distance between my bead and split shot and wish I could give you more info. had I caught more fish. However, I try to keep this distance at least 6 inches and go up to 18 inches. I have used beads as a dropper below a jig and I agree it significantly increases your chances of catching fish, however, it also causes a lot of tangles and twist if you have to cast further out so out of frustration I have resorted back to just one bead or one jig. I have also tried a two bead setup (at different depths) with good success as well, but it also tangles a lot. Do you have any suggestions for minimizing tangles with a two hook setup?
