Keeping a minnow on the jig By-Putter

I tournament fish for walleyes a lot and many times, the jig is the preferred method of catching them. After many times without a bite or being snagged and "checking the bait" by reeling up the jig and finding the minnow was gone, I found a way to keep them on there unless a bite or snag pulled it off.

Take any "twister tail" or such plastic bait and bite off a ring of the round part of the tail. After putting the minnow on the jig's hook, put that little dab of the twister tail's body on the hook. It'll keep the minnow on there while jigging for ya.

Works well with freeze-dried or, where legal, live minnows.
