Jig, perhaps, is one of the oldest types of fishing, it is used mainly in hunting for predatory fish, and fishing itself is more like a game of chance. A lot has been said about the jig method, there are even scientific works. Nevertheless, for everyone, this skill is individual and certain nuances must be determined on their own experience.
Instructions
Step 1
Use "stepwise" tactics when jigging: uneven, spasmodic wiring along the bottom, or in the water column. In the first case, use a heavy jig, in the second - a light one. The most common is the bottom method, as it allows you to catch predatory fish in the parking areas.
Step 2
Cast the jig about 100 meters. It is impossible to miss the moment when the load is in the right place: the reel will stop, the rod tip will straighten.
Step 3
After making 3-5 turns of the coil, the load will move. If the bottom method is used, the bait should swim a certain distance along the bottom, then descend again. What the rod will signal.
This cycle must be repeated at a certain frequency set by the angler.
Step 4
Gaining experience in this fishing, you can use various pauses, stops, movements and many other interesting nuances.
Step 5
But it must be remembered that a good result is possible only with the correct selection of the bait, the load of which must correspond to the properties of water: current, various obstacles that make it difficult for the bait to "float" in the water column or along the bottom. It is very important to choose the correct thickness of the line.
Step 6
Remember to start jig fishing from a long distance. Best of all, if this is a predator feeding place - shallow water, where a large number of fry live. It is necessary to take into account the fact that the predator keeps in this place only during the period of activity.
Step 7
When casting for the first time, examine the bottom or places in the water column along which you will guide the bait. In addition, during the exploration, do not stop playing with the jig in the hope of a bite, which may occur at any time during the posting.
Step 8
Catch not every bite. Large fish, often grabbing the bait, remain motionless, while small fish frantically breaks, catching "prey".
