Shimano Reels: Jigging With Shimano Reels
What is jigging?
The word jigging refers to the practice of fishing with a jig. In jigging, the fishing lure moves with a jerky motion vertically through the water, instead of horizontally, as with conventional lures. The lure, or jig, is made of a lead sinker. This is why a jig is also known as a “leadhead.” The jig has a hook molded to one end to trap the fish. This arrangement is covered with a brightly colored, soft body to attract the fish. Jigs are widely used in both saltwater and freshwater fishing.
Parts of a jig: head
The head of a jig comes in many different colors and shapes. The heads may be round, fish shaped, or conical. The weight of the head varies from 1/80th of an ounce to nearly a pound depending on the kind of fish that is being lured. Jig heads may also come with a weed guard to protect the jig when fishing in murky waters.
Parts of a jig: body
The body of jig is shaped to resemble grubs, frogs, fishes, paddle tails, lizards, or insects. The body is normally made out of rubber or silicone. The colors of these jigs can range from bright yellow to transparent brown, with silver and red flakes. They may also be decorated with dyed whitetail deer tail hair, Chenille, feathers, hairs, and other natural materials.
