Jigs

A jig is a versatile, weighted lure with a hook molded into its head, designed for a variety of fishing techniques and conditions. Jigs typically feature a skirt or soft plastic trailer that adds movement and visual appeal. They can be fished with a variety of techniques, including bouncing along the bottom or through the water column, and can be retrieved with a steady motion or jigged vertically.

The weight of the jig head determines the depth at which the jig is effective, with heavier jigs reaching deeper waters. The shape and size of the jig head also affect how easily the jig moves through the water and the type of action it produces.

This style of lure is great for targeting species such as bass, walleye, perch, lake trout, and northern pike in different environments. Jigs are effective at various depths, from shallow waters to deeper areas, making them a favorite among anglers for their adaptability and effectiveness.
