another question on jigs

[weezymagic]

searched around a bit and couldnt find the answers...
so im goin on a float trip soon and i hear that jigs are decent lures to use for the smallmouths in the river. so heres my questions being very unfimiliar with using jigs...

1. trailers? i hear both yes and no. i always use a trailer on my spinners for a bit of extra action but id like to be prepared instead of wrong off the bat.

2. what is a good jig setup? (mostly clear water with slow current) im thinkin 3/16oz or 1/8oz jig (color being white or chartruse) with a matching small curly tail trailer on fluoro 20#. ill prolly buy 3 jigs with trailers this week if i get some tips on what to buy.

3. Retrieve...i heard that in lakes/ponds, toss it out, let it sink, maybe get a hit, stop and go / jerk retrieve, maybe get a hit, repeat. what is my best options for a slow moving river? id assume toss it up stream parallel to breaks, cover, drop offs, etc.

thanks for all the help in advance
