  • the depth of the body of water;
  • current velocity in the river;
  • weight of the used jig bait;
  • aggressiveness of the wiring.

Catching a jig method requires the fish and spinning sensitivity, as well as benthic wiring, through which you can pick up, feel the moment of contact with the bottom of the bait or at the time of the cool.

FISHING FOR A CLASSIC METHOD OF JIGGING

In order to catch the method of jigging you need:

  • Throw the bait.
  • Let it sink to the bottom, when it touches it the line will sag.
  • The rod should be held at an angle of 45 degrees above the water level.
  • It is necessary to repeat several times 3-4 turns of the reel, after which the bait should sink to the bottom again.
  • Due to the fact that the rod is at a 45-degree angle, it is easy to hook. At the moment of the bite, you need to change the angle to 90 degrees. You should not raise it higher, as the rod may not be able to withstand the load.
  • If there is no bite on the bait, you can use the method of undermining the bait. It is necessary to raise and lower the rod, changing the position of the bait in the water.
  • It is necessary to pay attention to the nibble at the moment of changing the tension of the line, tilt of the end of the rod, vibration.

Thanks to properly selected rigging, as well as professional skills that will come over time due to constant training, as well as the development of speed response to the bite. The method of jig fishing may become the most effective and favorite for the fisherman.
