Frequently Asked Questions – Metal Jigs
What is a metal jig in fishing?
Metal jigs are weighted fishing lures designed to mimic baitfish movements, used primarily in vertical jigging for both saltwater and freshwater fishing.
Which fish species are metal jigs best for?
Metal jigs are highly effective for targeting tuna, amberjack, snapper, grouper, and other deep-water or fast-swimming species.
What are the main types of metal jigs?
Common types include S-shape jigs, sand eel jigs, flat-sided jigs, center-balanced jigs, and slow-pitch jigs—each offering unique actions and sinking speeds.
How do I choose the right jig weight and size?
Choose based on target species, water depth, and current strength. Heavier jigs (150g–300g) are for deep-sea jigging, while lighter ones are ideal for shallow or slow-pitch use.
What coatings or finishes are available for metal?
Our jigs can be powder-coated, UV-painted, anodized, or foil-wrapped for enhanced visibility and corrosion resistance.
