Jigging is a technique that yields excellent results at sea. Originating from Japan, it has gained increasing popularity worldwide, particularly around Mauritius.
This technique involves vertical fishing from the boat, using metal lures retrieved at high speed with specific movements designed to attract large fish.
Jigging requires short, powerful rods, solid and lightweight reels, very flexible braided line, and a fluorocarbon leader. The jig weight is selected according to fishing depth and current conditions.
It's a fun and highly athletic fishing technique that demands significant physical effort but promises impressive catches.
