Jigging Spoons

[aikenyounggun]

So I moved up to Clemson last year (for college, 2 and half hours away from my house) and was introduced to new lakes. I fished Hartwell a couple times before going up there and it fished a lot like Clarks Hill (two lakes down the Savannah chain and one of my home lakes) so that should work out this year.

BUT... two of the other lakes I fished with our club (college fishing team) were Lake Keowee and Lake Jocassee, both lakes in the mountains (deep and clear). These presented new challenges and after fishing Keowee a couple times I think I can figure some stuff out that plays into my strengths (I should have a boat up there this year, not just a co-angler). But Jocassee is even deeper and clearer and one of the mainstays, especially during the winter, is throwing a jigging spoon. Somethin I have never done. So last year I ran out and bought one or two (not much selection last minute) and watched some videos.

Just this past Friday an Academy opened in Aiken 4 minutes from my house and I remember I need to get more spoons and they have a ton more choices. So what I am asking for is what you look for in a jigging spoon (colors, weight, brand, etc). [Academy has a bunch of them]

Also any tips on fishing them would be greatly appreciated.

And to put more info, these would be used anywhere from 40 to 100 feet. Especially in 70-100 range (I think). Least near the dam where water is pumped, that's the depth. And when they pump water, the fish turn on, so people stack there and throw the things.

Thanks guys.
