One of the latest fishing trends as identified by PRWEB, “Vertical Jigging: The Newest Fishing Trends” had revealed that the oldest form of fishing lures, the jig is making a huge comeback. Some Japaneses fishing lure manufacturers are coming up with new jig designs for vertical jigging called: the knife, the inchiku and the tai-kabura.
The Knife jig is long and skinny resembling a knife blade and is designed with the center of gravity in the tail or centered part of the jig. The jig that has the weight centered will allow it to flutter and the tail weighted jig design will sink without any type of action. This type of jig will glide through the water on the drop rather than sinking straight down. Knife jigs are intended to attract and catch any species of predatory fish.
Inchiku jig is a two part jig that consist of the weight and a lure that resembles a small octopus with hooks. It is designed to fish the floor of a body of water for the bottom dwellers such as flounders, halibuts and snappers.
Tai-Kabura jig is also designed to fish the bottom layer of a body of water and looks like an octopus or squid. These lures come in smaller sizes than the inchiku jig.
Both the Inchiku fishing jig and the Tai-Kabura fishing jig are intended to be fished less aggressively than the knife jigs. These jigs are vertical jigs and an angler simply drops the jigs straight down and retrieve. Utilizing jig technique called ‘mechanical jigging’ which is dropping and raising the rod tip quickly as the line is retrieved, will cause the knife jig to swim very erratically enticing predatory fish of all types. The inchiku and tai-kabura jigs are intended to be fished very slowly, hopping it along the lake floor after a cast.
These vertical jigs will entice a fast and violent strike from predatory fish.
