Clear Water Jigging | seaguar fluorocarbon

People ask me what I do different when fishing jigs in clear water.  Well, I fish lakes that can have a visibility up to 12', so that is really clear water.  The main thing I do differently is I always use fluorocarbon.  In murkier water, I tend to use braid, especially in weedy cover.

Seaguar fluorocarbon has been some of the best I've tried so far.  I usually fish jigs on 15lb test, but will lighten up to 12lb if the water is super clear or I'm not fishing in any cover (like throwing football jigs on gravel points).

I couldn't tell you for sure if using braid would reduce my bites, or if fish really are line shy, but fishing fluorocarbon in gin clear water gives me more confidence.  And confidence is the greatest tool you have in fishing.
