I have never done good at Willard with jigs either, every once in a while I'll get lucky and catch one but I have always done better trolling. I have done the same thing on numerous occasions, thinking that a wiper can't brake my line but they are a powerful fish. Even the smaller ones can easily brake your line if given a chance, I have started checking my line after every fish but that is still no guarantee. I always keep my drag loose until I get a chance to judge how large the fish is. The lure I lost on Friday to a wiper was just one more example of misjudging a wiper. Oh well, what do you do.
