But if they won't bite jigs, I use Berkley Gulp cut bait (squid flavor), Uncle Josh pork rinds, or Fish Bites artificial blood worms, shrimp, and clam. I hardly ever use real bait anymore for bottom fish.

I tried all of those sure fire methods the other day to no avail.

Got any Diamond jigs in that arsenal?...
