How to Fish a Metal Jig

1. Vertical Jigging (Boat / Deep Water)

  • Drop the jig straight down.

  • Lift the rod sharply, then let it fall.

  • Vary your rhythm to entice different species.

2. Casting & Retrieving (Shore or Boat)

  • Cast out and allow it to sink to the desired depth.

  • Retrieve steadily, adding twitches, jerks, or pauses.

  • Creates an erratic motion that mimics fleeing baitfish.

3. Slow-Pitch Jigging

  • Lift the rod slowly and let the jig flutter on the drop.

  • Ideal for enticing bottom-dwelling or less aggressive fish.
