Hey bud, I have good luck with hair jigs tipped with twister tails like a fuzzy grub but mostly tip my jigs with gulp bait leeches. They have good action and size generally varies with how rough it is. If your just starting, get a variety of green and some purple. THose are my go-tos. Good luck

To answer your questions is a plain jig as good as haired or twister tailed. NO! Not even close. Pickup twister tails (2 3/4") for your plain jigs and experiment for yourself. Or/Oar let the believer in a plain jig use it. While you use one with a twister tail tipped with a minnow. I use Chart, Green, Purple, Orange, White as a general rule. I believe you will also have better success with a minnow vs. nightcrawler. Your trying to aggetate the fish into biting. Nightcrawlers are more of a feeding bait.
Try both ways and see what happens. Research is only great if you believe the results.
Good Luck and Good Fishing
