Lots of folks don't use a split shot at all....and if the wind is dead calm I will not use one. A lot of people tip the TM with a variety of things....from wax worms to crickets. I have never found the need to do that but according to all articles I have ever read about bluegill fishing they like to mouth the bait a little before taking it all the way in....I have never seen this but I can see why someone would tip a jig if that is true. I know from fishing on the Caney when crappie hit a jig their mouth is all the way open and the tap you feel is when it is on the roof of their mouth....they just gulp it in. Hope this answers your question.
