Fishing Jig

Fishing jigs are more flexible baits than many people realize. The reason for this flexibility is the variety of sizes, shapes, and designs available today.

Fishing jigs can be spoons which are jigged vertically when game fish are suspending in deep water. Spoons can also be cast and trolled as well as slow fished along the bottom.

Other jigs are made with deer hair skirts and plastic skirts. The skirts are attached to lead or tungsten jig heads in a wide variety of sizes and weights.

Jigs are effective in catching all types of game fish in both fresh and salt water.

Jig heads are sold independently of attached skirts so the angler can attach the bait of choice such as plastic skirts, grubs, or artificial bait fish shapes.

Some jig heads come with built in coiled wires at the base of the jig head which allows a plastic bait to be screwed onto the jig head.
