I fished it both ways. Hanging up is part of fishing a shad dart micro jig head...or any jig head for that matter. That day at Pickwick I lost well over a dozen jig heads...but the fish were deep in the rocks so thats where I had to fish. The more you fish it the less you will hang up. It took my son a while to figure out how far to let it fall before he got hung up but he soon developed the knack for fishing it. If I am fishing a new spot and I have no clue how deep it is I might sacrifice a couple of jig heads to find out. Once I know where the bottom is I count down to the bottom, then the rest of the day I know how long to let it fall before I start my retrieve just off the bottom.

Regards
