Jig (fishing)
A jig is a type of fishing lure designed to resemble small fish, rarely larger than 10 centimeters.
The typical buildup of a jig consists of a heavy head with a ring to attach the line to, connected to the head is a hook with a barb.
The body of the jig has two common designs:
- A rubber/silicone plastic body with one larger part and one thinner extrusion at the end that will give the impression of a tail fin when the jig is 'swimming' through the water.
- A Soft body made out of feathers and/or some other soft material.
