How to use

Cast toward structure, then let the jig sink to your target depth. Use a mix of slow pulls and short pauses to trigger bites. Vary retrieve speed and pause length to match water temperature and current. Keep a steady line tension to feel subtle taps and responds to each strike.

• Cast near cover to mimic fleeing prey
• Let the jig reach the desired depth before starting the retrieve
• Employ a slow to moderate cadence with brief pauses
• Adjust retrieve length and cadence for different water clarity and fish behavior

This jig shines in freshwater settings such as lakes, ponds, and slow rivers where visibility matters. The color and compact profile can help you locate the lure quickly in low light, while the weighted head supports controlled drops and crisp action along the bottom.
