Jigging Up on Your Fishing
December 13, 2007 |
If you want to catch and land a gargantuan trophy fish of a largemouth bass, you might want to employ the jig fishing method, which is a very productive means of catching this type of species.
What exactly is jig fishing? This is a kind of fishing that uses jig lure – this consists of lead sinker with an attached hook covered by soft materials such as silicone that usually attract or lure fish. Jigs are molded in the form of a particular food that your choice of fish eats such as grub, insects and small fish. If spinner baits do horizontal motion on the waters, jigs create vertical, jerking movements.
When choosing the jig fishing method, one important thing to remember is the bass feeding habit, which varies on the kind of season you intend to fish. For example, if you are going to jig fish during the winter season, the fish are somewhat inactive, making them more difficult to catch.
Likewise, expect that the live baits that the bass feed on will also be found in the deep waters. Taking this into consideration, it is imperative that your jig closely resemble the food that the bass eat. If the food of the bass are small (perhaps because of the winter season), make sure that the jig matches the food’s size, shape and color.
Always see to it that the jig blends well with the live food. If they are found near the water surface, the jig must be positioned around this area. If they are much deeper down the waters, then you have to make your jig heavier for it to be located with the live food.
