Jigging is a fishing technique that involves using a lure, often called a jig, which is a weighted hook dressed with materials like feathers or soft plastics. Anglers move the jig up and down in the water to mimic the movement of prey, attracting fish. This method is popular for catching species such as bass, walleye, and pike. The technique can be performed in various environments, including freshwater and saltwater. Jigging can be done from a boat or the shore, and it is effective at different depths. Anglers often adjust their jigging style based on the fish species and water conditions.
