Types of Jigs We Offer
Choosing the right jig comes down to water depth, fish species, and how you plan to retrieve. Here are some of the most common types of jigs available at West Marine:
- Bucktail Jigs: Constructed with hair or synthetic fibers, ideal for inshore saltwater fishing and species like stripers, snook, or fluke.
- Soft Plastic Jigs: Feature a lead head and soft body tail, great for bass, trout, and redfish.
- Feather Jigs: Use natural or synthetic feathers for a lifelike profile, effective in both fresh and saltwater.
- Metal Jigs: Heavy, aerodynamic, and ideal for vertical jigging in deep water for species like tuna, amberjack, or snapper.
Techniques for Success
The effectiveness of a jig depends not only on its style, but how it’s worked in the water. Vertical jigging, fluttering, casting and retrieving, or swimming the jig are all proven tactics—each suited to specific jig types and fish behavior. Experiment with retrieval speeds and pauses until you dial in what the fish are responding to.
