tying Pompano jigs

[hugehail]

For those of you who take jigs and teasers and tie your own pompano jigs, how big of a loop do you make? In other words, when you flatten out the loop, how long is it?
In other words, how much room do you like to have for the teaser to move around? Also, do you like to tie the jig and teaser facing the same direction or opposite?
or perhaps none of this makes any difference at all? Ive used jigs that were tied together with no freedom to move and caught pompano.

Not that I'm an expert, but when "flattened out" I personally would use about 1/2" - 3/4"... enuf to let it flutter freely.

Hi,

You may think I'm crazy but from years of experimenting I now normally tie a loop that is between 5" to 6" long. I cant tell you how many pomps I have caught with that size loop. One thing is for sure most of the fish will be on the teaser.

Hope that help, please let me know how you make out.

Thanks for the tip. I will try it. Have you experimented with a dropper loop with additional teaser about 15 inches above the primary looped pair?
