Jigging Techniques

Jigging has become one of the most productive techniques for targeting big fish around deep water structures. When you drop a vertical jig down to reef edges, oil platforms, or offshore wrecks, you're fishing right where grouper, snapper, amberjack, and cobia actively hunt. The beauty of this approach is its simplicity and direct connection to the strike zone.

Whether you're working a fast retrieve with speed jigging or using the subtle flutter of slow pitch jigging, these methods trigger aggressive strikes from fish that might ignore other presentations. The technique puts your lure exactly where predators feed, making it incredibly effective for both novice and experienced anglers.

Our Fishing Video Courses cover the complete spectrum of jigging applications:

  • Vertical jigging fundamentals for deep water fishing success
  • Tackle selection and rigging for different jigging styles
  • Reef fishing and wreck techniques with jigs
  • Species-specific strategies for grouper, snapper, and pelagics

These instructional videos break down the mechanics of working jigs at various depths, choosing the right jig weight and style for conditions, and reading strikes in vertical presentations. You'll learn proven approaches that work whether you're fishing 80 feet or 400 feet deep.
