FAQ - Fishing Jigs

1. What weight jig should I use?

Match weight to depth and current. Deeper water needs heavier jigs so you stay vertical. Start with 4 to 8 oz in 100 to 200 ft and go heavier as current increases.

2. Are diamond jigs good for tuna?

Yes. A diamond jig is a classic tuna bait and works well on sand eels and small bait.

3. When should I use bucktail jigs?

Bucktails are great for bottom fish and inshore use. A Spro bucktail is a dependable choice.

4. What is the best jig for casting into a school?

Stick jigs like the Clarkspoon stick jigs cast far and work well on surface feeds.

5. Do I need assist hooks on jigs?

Assist hooks are common for vertical jigging and reduce fouling. Many jigs come rigged or can be upgraded easily.

6. How fast should I jig?

Start with a fast lift and drop. If the fish are slow, use a longer pause. Change speed until you get a response.

How to Choose Saltwater Jigs

Match weight to depth. The best jig is the lightest one that still keeps you vertical. For 100 to 200 ft, 4 to 8 oz is a good start. For deeper water or heavy current, step up in weight.

Pick the right style. Diamond jigs like the Ahi Assault are excellent for tuna and deep water fish. Bucktails like the Spro bucktail are great for bottom species. Stick jigs like Clarkspoon stick jigs cast far and work on surface feeds.

Use assist hooks when possible. They reduce fouling and hook fish in the corner of the mouth. Many jigs can be upgraded easily.

Work the jig. Fast lifts trigger reaction bites, slow lifts trigger lazy fish. Change speed until you get bit.
