2022, Basics of Vertical Jigging
Vertical jigging effectiveness on deep wrecks, reefs, and oil platforms depends on understanding how high-speed versus slow-pitch presentations trigger different fish responses. Captain Chad Raney's straightforward approach covers rod, reel, rig, and jig fundamentals for speed jigging that targets both pelagic species and structure-oriented fish like amberjack, grouper, snapper, and wahoo holding around vertical formations.

2022, Jigs for Yellowfin Tuna Fishing
Yellowfin tuna suspending at depth matching deep water baitfish require speed jigs and knife jigs rather than surface presentations. Seth Hartwick's worldwide experience reveals success demands understanding jigging techniques that work entire water columns, proper boat and angler positioning, and matching rod specifications to jig sizes with gear ratios and drag systems handling sustained runs from depth.

2021, Slow Pitch Jigging Basics with Ryan Hanks
Slow pitch jigging keeps presentations ascending and descending within specific depth bands where grouper and snapper feed rather than ripping jigs through the water column. The technique mimics wounded baitfish fluttering instead of fleeing prey, using specialized rods and reels where anglers crank fish up from depth rather than leveraging them with rod power in counterintuitive approaches.

2020, Muskie Jigging Lures with Cory Allen
Muskie jigging lures rarely perform as packaging suggests, demanding understanding of actual in-water characteristics that trigger neutral or inactive fish. Success with vertical presentations requires reading how line tie points affect descent and swimming action, then matching lure properties to fish mood rather than assuming aggressive presentations always produce when musky hold but won't commit to standard approaches.

2019, Jigging Soft Plastics on Reef Edges
Jig head weight and hook placement determine whether soft plastics swim naturally or spin awkwardly on reef edges where big predators patrol sandy transitions. Improper rigging creates unnatural action that causes fish to track without striking, wasting time in productive zones where correctly rigged plastics trigger aggressive responses from trevally, coral trout, and grouper.
