The Jerk and Pause Technique
One jig fishing technique used is after you cast out make sure that the jig goes all the way to the bottom of the lake, river or pond you are fishing, then after the jig hits bottom pause for a few seconds then slightly jerk upward with your fishing rod. Then, let the jig fall back down to the bottom. When using the jerk and pause technique focus on small areas and repetitive casts. In addition, bass a lot of times bite out of instinct, not because they’re hungry.

Know your Fishing Bait
When jig fishing it is very important to be aware of what your fishing bait is actually doing. An example would be how long does it take for the bait to get to the bottom of the lake river or pond that you are fishing. You should make a mental note of the time factor involved in this because if it’s longer or shorter the normal you could have a fish taking your bait before it gets to the bottom.
