WHAT IS JIGGING?
Jigging is a highly effective fishing technique that uses a weighted lure called a jig to mimic the erratic movement of injured baitfish. The jig is typically dropped vertically into the water column and retrieved using an up-and-down motion to attract fish. This method is widely used in both freshwater and saltwater environments and is particularly effective for targeting predatory fish.
GEAR FOR JIGGING
ROD
* Medium to heavy-action rods are preferred, depending on the target species.
* Shorter rods (5-6 feet) for vertical jigging, longer rods for casting jigs.
REEL
* Spinning or baitcasting reels with a strong drag system.
* High gear ratio reels for fast retrieval when needed.
LINE
* Braided Line: Preferred for its strength and sensitivity, allowing anglers to feel even subtle bites.
* Fluorocarbon Leader: Often added for abrasion resistance and invisibility underwater.
JIGS
* Select jigs based on the target species, water depth, and fishing conditions.
* Weights range from light (1/8 oz) for shallow water to heavy
(500+ grams) for deep-sea jigging.
TYPES OF JIGS
VERTICAL JIGS
* Long, slim, and heavy, designed for vertical motion in deep water.
* Popular in saltwater fishing.
SOFT PLASTIC JIGS
* Feature a lead or tungsten jig head with a soft plastic
body shaped like a worm, grub, or fish.
* Common in freshwater fishing.
FLUTTER JIGS
* Designed to flutter and wobble as they sink, mimicking an
injured fish.
* Effective in deep-sea jigging.
BUCKTAIL JIGS
* Made with a lead head and hair-like material to add lifelike
movement.
* Versatile for both fresh and saltwater use.
BLADE JIGS
* Include a vibrating blade that creates extra movement
and noise, attracting fish in murky water.
