What is "jigging"?
Jigging is a fishing technique that involves moving a weighted lure, called a jig, up and down in the water to attract fish. The fisherman uses a rod to lift the jig and then lets it fall back, mimicking the movement of prey such as small fish or insects. The up-and-down motion encourages fish to bite, especially those that are near the bottom of the water or in deeper areas. Jigging is commonly used in both freshwater and saltwater fishing for species like bass, walleye, or cod. It requires timing and precision to effectively control the jig's movement.
Example
Beginners should practice jigging techniques to improve their catch rate.
Anglers often use bright-colored jigs when jigging in murky waters.
