Jig Quotations
I just like to catch fish, I don't care if it weighs half a pound or 10 pounds. But I can't do a lot of casting. I can work a jig or a worm. But not for long, especially if the big ones are biting. Those big bass will make it hurt after a while.
Terry Bradshaw

Bruce Greenwood

She danced a jig, she sung a song that took my heart away.
