Jigs can be used as standalone lures or accompanied by a soft lure such as shad, finess, or creature, which will serve as a “trailer” to increase the volume of the assembly and offer more vibrations. The characteristic of a jig is that it often has a weedless hook allowing it to slip into the most congested places and thus flush out the predators lying in ambush. It can be used for casting and retrieving, or animated at the bottom with small pulls, it is a lure that allows you to fish for black bass, perch, and pike in many conditions. The
fishing jig starts working as soon as it enters the water and is always equipped with a skirt made up of numerous filaments that come into action during the animations and do not leave the predators indifferent. A
rubber jig can also be equipped with a pallet underneath to intensify the vibrations and visual signals, a detail that can make a difference. You will also find in this section chatterbaits which are nothing more than jigs equipped with a paddle at the front emitting strong vibrations. The
chatterbait can also be used with or without a "trailer". It is a hybrid between a jig and a metallic lure that excels in Powerfishing as it allows to prospect different water layers by casting and retrieving. To do this, simply adjust the recovery speed. The chatterbait can also be used in a sawtooth pattern on the bottom with, for example, a
crawfish type lure to put more emphasis on the zones and persuade the less active fish. You will find in this section jigs and chatterbaits from the biggest brands such as
z man,
megabass or
booyah.
