The weight of the lure that you are using also needs to be the correct weight for the depth, current, and drifting speed of the water that you are fishing. The more current you are fishing in requires a heavier lure to reach the bottom without letting out your whole spool of line. The same goes with deeper water; you need a heavier lure to get to the bottom. You can also use the River Flathead jig to cut through the water better, thus using a lighter jig in current or while drifting.
