The metal jig, a versatile lure

Jig fishing is often thought of as an exclusively marine fishing technique. However, these dense lures are reaction lures that are highly effective on many freshwater fish. Its ancestor, the tin fish, is a perfect example.

It imitates a struggling or dying fry to perfection, making it easy prey for carnivores that come across it.

In freshwater, metal jigs have a size adapted to the size of the prey but also to the depth of the lure. This lure is very dense and sinks very quickly. To be most effective in shallow water, the weight and size of the lure need to be adapted.

For which species is the jig used?

The number of species susceptible to the lure's charms is huge! All species of predator likely to feed on fry can be fished with a metal jig: pike, bass, pollack, pike-perch, perch, mackerel, tuna, etc

Metal jigs are effective both at sea and in freshwater. At sea, jigging is very popular for finding active fish to fish on a hunt. In freshwater, this technique is also used on schools of moving perch. Initially, you can jig the fish close to the boat. When the bites become scarcer, it is advisable to prospect around you in order to relocate the shoal, which has surely moved away.
