I think that most people jig too much especially in the winter, when you put your rod down and the hook is at rest, this is when the fish take it. Even when jigging I usually have a wave buster float on, I jig and let it sit for about 3-4 minutes before I jig again, seems to work better in the winter. If I do have to leave the rod for a minute or two I always open the bail, havn't lost a rod yet.
