Finding fish with today's technology is no more than looking into a screen; fishfinder. With the fishfinder we are able to locate fish and know where the hotspots are.
One of the advantages of jigging is being able to go right to where the fish are and work the lure at a selected hotspot. Once the boat is over the hotspot and knowing the depth they are holding, a jig is dropped to maybe 10 or 20ft below the hotspot. Working the jig at a known depth instead of jigging blindly is much more productive.
Many times fish will attack jigs, not only because they attack an injured or escaping fish but also because they get agitated by the action of a jig, therefore working a jig is also an important aspect to successful jigging.
Some jiggers prefer overhead (conventional reels or multiplier) while some swear by the spinner. It is all up to individual preference.
For overheads a narrow spool reel is preferred as line laying will not be so much of a problem, with one problem less one can concentrate in working the jigs.
Some of the popular overhead reels used are:
* Shimano Ocea Jigger NR
* Daiwa Saltiga Z
* Accurate Boss Magnum
* Studio Ocean Mark Blue Heaven

Some of the popular spinning reels:
*Shimano Stella SW or FA
*Shimano Twinpower
*Daiwa Saltiga
*Penn Spinfisher

A good drag system is also imperative to successfully pull in a fish, as most target fish are either bottom dwellers or pelagic. When hooked on a bottom fish we want to stop the fish from running into reefs or rocks which may result in a cut off and when hooked to a pelagic, we need the pressure to stop them.
