This is hopefully self-explanatory (chase them down and catch your dinner). You can catch crickets by using your hands to snatch them up.Things You Need: Hands, a wool blanket or flannel shirt, or a water bottle and some over-ripe fruit Try shaking branches above a shirt, sleeping bag or other piece of fabric, and see if any edibles fall onto it. Also check in tall grasses, shrubs and trees. Look for crickets in damp, dark places first: under rocks, logs, and other large objects. When and Where: Grasshoppers are easiest to catch in the early mornings when they move more slowly. Grasshoppers are easy to catch and protein-rich. If you do decide to go wild, remember: They can carry nematodes, so remember to cook them before you eat them. Cricket powder is very high in protein, has similar baking properties to regular flour, and has a slightly nutty flavor. If you want to try it without picking legs out of your teeth, you can try a store-bought food product called cricket powder, or cricket flour. Most types of grasshoppers and crickets are edible. I even catch fish with them just winding in near the surface.Grasshoppers and crickets are extraordinarily protein-rich, and you can collect them pretty much anywhere. Basically, if the jig is moving in a strike zone you can hook up. You can still hook up to uniques without any dots at all so do not worry if you cannot get the dots to register as you jig. Also, the number of dots is just an indication.

I personally use speed 2 and 3 most of the time because I mostly jig in deep water with long casts.

Keep in mind that retrieve speeds vary depending on how far you want to lift the jig off the bottom, type of reel, depth of water, how far you have casted and weight of jig head. make all weights within eachothers "range" and you will have a balanced setup. the worm, grub etc tells u what size hook it will take and weight is based on rod/reel weights they will take. The sizes i just use similar to hook size of float or lure that had worked for that area. those work for me when using jig heads w/worms, grubs etc. if u let go of RMB and do same it gives you stop and go.

this will give lift and drop that u can get up to 3 dots(depending on how "quick" u work the retieve). i hold RMB down(keeping rod up) and do a slow speed(1 or 2 whichever seems to work at the time) short retrieve. Originally posted by Vykingz:as to the retrieve.
