Casting jig heads for fishing in saltwater

What is a jig:

The jig typically consists of a heavy lead head mounted on a hook where you can put a body of rubber, feathers or other materials on.
The bodies can have many different shapes and colors.

Fishing with jig is really relatively simple:
With small jerks you get the jig to jump over the bottom. It makes it look like a smaller fish or shrimp there in small jerks, fleeing for its life.

The hook on the jig faces upwards and almost never settles on the bottom.

One method that wins is Vertical jigging. You sit in a boat, kayak or other and drive / sail slowly. Then you let the jig fall to the bottom and then fish as you would during fishing for cod or other fish from a boat.

From land - throw out and give small jerks.so the jig jumps over the bottom.


I used molds from bleigussformen-shop. The molds is made of almuminum, so you can use metals as:
- tin
- lead
- zinc
and so on because they melt under 600 degrees celcius.
