MORE ABOUT VERTICAL JIGGING Vertical jigging is a technique where you drop a metal jig to depth and work it back up with rod pumps and reel turns. The jig imitates an injured baitfish moving through the water column. If you fish offshore or target pelagics near reef structure, this is a technique worth learning.
