Jig head question/discussion

[eman]

I fish some deep pits for trout in the winter. 16'+ .
when it's so cold you hurt to fish, the trout stack up like cord wood in some spots.
But the lure has to be small and one slow speed above stop to get bit
I use 1/8 - 1/16 oz heads w/ 2 -2.5 " plastics w/ braid. most bites still feel like you are dragging the lure across a stick. I find that the lighter the jig head the slower i have to fish it to maintain contact w/ the lure.
