Deep Jigging - The Ultimate Beginner's Guide
Offshore success starts well before the first drop. Learn how to assess weather, current, tides, moon phases and bite windows, then decide whether conditions are safe and practical for deep jigging. This lesson also covers trip planning, fuel, communications and the importance of having a Plan B when the ocean does not cooperate.
Choosing the right jig isn’t simply about matching weight to water depth. In Lesson 4, we look at how current, wind, drift, braid diameter and jig shape all influence your selection — and why staying vertical is so important. Learn why I always start heavy, how I match jig shape to the conditions, and where colour really fits into the equation.
