Fishing Jigs

Jigs are one of the most versatile lures and angler can use. Essentially, a jig is a fish hook that has lead molded around the upper shank of the hook allowing you to fish at whatever depth you desire. The hook is either dressed with buck tail, feathers, a soft plastic lure or natural bait. Jigs can be cast and retrieved at various depths depending on the weight of the jig. They can also be deployed over the side of the boat and bounced along the bottom while drifting with the tide. Other styles of jigs can be dropped vertically and then retrieved quickly to simulate fleeing baitfish.
