Salted shiners for jigging, leeches for live bait rigging. Best combo.

Do you use a salted shiner on a bare jig or a jig with plastic or hair?

leeches- leeches - leeches. Too much good experience with them compared to something like 'GULP' that imitates a minnow very well or even the real thing in a minnow-- but nothing does a leech movement --- try hooking one -- and then look at it in the water=== under a bobber. my two cents Leeches for Eyes- Minnows for everything else.

We always use leeches. Minnows are hard to keep alive. Unless you aren't doing much portaging leeches are much easier to transport.

Minnows are a lot of work or downright impossible when the water gets warm, but when water temps are 60 degrees or lower minnows become a lot more resilliant. If you're going in July or August forget minnows. 90% of them will die on the first day no matter how many times you change the water.
