Jigging, over the past few years, have become synonymous with fast fishing. Jigging is a style of fishing that involves the use of a lure moved erratically through the water. Generally speaking, there are quite a few types of jigs that can range in size and shape to imitate different forms of bait and baitfish. Most anglers tend to fish with jigs on light tackle like spinning rods.

Almost all anglers practice jigging to some extent because it is considered a depthless fishing technique. Anglers can fish with jigs at any depth, as long as they adjust the weight of the jig for the depth of the water. However after a certain depth range, usually 100 or so feet, the common term is deep jigging because it requires a ton of strength. Also as everything gets deeper, the angler expects the target fish to get bigger, so it's good to incorporate a larger hook.

Jigging is a form of fishing that requires patience and practice, and works better for some anglers than others. This form of fishing is entirely controlled by the angler, as every rod tip motion creates a unique style of jigging under the surface. This is one of the main reasons jigging is so popular among anglers.

Generally speaking jigging is a fast action form of fishing. Most anglers report bites on the initial drop of the jig. It's important to carefully study your line as you drop the jig down. The initial hit may not be so easy to detect.

The only real gripes most anglers have with jigging are snags. Because of this style of fishing, drop the jig and go, jigs tend to get caught in debris under the water. It's a common occurrence to lose quite a few jigs during the course of a fishing trip. However, this should not be too discouraging considering the effectiveness of the technique.
