EachJigs like the Dead Eye are a great bait to have in your arsenal due to the fact they they are extremely diverse. The profile and colors of these jigs allow them to be fished for a wide variety of predatory fish. The smaller sizes such as the 2oz (4" length) jig can be used with great success on inland lakes for species like Lake Trout and Lahontan Cutthroat Trout when vertical jigging is the hot bite. The 4oz and 6oz jigs are popular sizes for inshore and coastal species such as Calico Bass and Rockfish, and the 8oz sizes have proven successful on halibut up and down the Pacific Northwest.Vertical Jigging on the Bottom:These lures excel in jigging fish which are either suspended in the water column or are holding tight to the bottom. Dropping the lure straight down and jigging around the active fish can trigger aggressive reaction strikes from feeding fish. Free-spool your bait all the way down to the fish. If using a graph/fishfinder, oftentimes the schools of fish are visible. If fishing around rocky reefs or bottoms, typically fishing near the bottom is a good start. When jigging, begin by lifting the rod tip up; this will cause the jig to jump quickly off the bottom. Immediately after, drop the rod tip down so that the jig can fall on slack line. This will cause the jig to flutter and dance its way back down to the bottom. Oftentimes fish will bite as the jig is falling back down to the bottom. Repeating this process around structure is usually a highly-effective way to target fish.**Note - If snagging is causing issues, there are many different options for rigging these jigs. The treble hook included gives you the best chances of connecting with any fish interested in the bait. Keep in mind that a treble hook is far easier to snag on the bottom. Another rigging option when fishing in extremely dense structure is to remove the included treble hook and attach two assist hooks to the top attachment ring (where you would typically tie your line to on top of the jig). This rigging style is commonly used by fisherman fishing jacks and grouper in shipwrecks or artificial reefs with a lot of snags.Jigging for Suspended Fish and Swimming the Dead Eye:The same process can be used for targeting fish that are suspended in the water column. Using a graph/fishfinder is going to be the quickest way to locate and target your target fish. Allowing the jig to drop to the desired depth and repeating the jigging presentation can put large numbers of fish in the boat very quickly. The Dead Eye Jigs can also be used with a cast-and-retrieve method. These lures also offer an enticing side-to-side swimming action which can be used to an angler's advantage. Casting towards schools of feeding fish near the surface can be largely effective and is another reason these jigs deserve a place in any anglers tackle box.
