Mate most of my jigging is easy easy some times like today I will jig non stop for over four hours or more so I couldn't handle going crazy like some of the clips you see on you tube. Every now and again as you know the daiwa have the rattle I will give it some sharp jerks I dont know if the rattle does anything but I think it does . My jigging technique is with the tip down at my toes nearly touching the water and gentle but jerky jigs back. I need to get a small rod for my kayak to do the same technique I am used to . I think I got into that habbit from mainly squidding from the bridge leaning over rod dangling over and casting out and twitching back .It is funny as I used to only use little jigs like I caught seven of today catch on but since we have been having the windy weather I have gone to 3.5 and stayed with it as i like to cast out far and jig back and really cover the deeper water compared to like today casting out the little jigs and slowly slowly letting the jig sink I like it for close in jigging even better if the water is clear and I can see the jig sink. But I think I like the bigger jigs and knowing that when i do jig back that it still stays down compared to the smaller jigs so light when I jig back they rise to quick . But in saying that the good old small jig did the damage today [color="#0000FF"].Jazzman [/color]what is your prefered jigging technique do you jig from the side or do you ever jig with the tip down at your feet . ? I still like jigging from the side aswell .
Cheers Ben
