Watch the line during the drop. Once the jig reaches your intended depth, reel several turns to bring it through the strike zone, then stop and allow it to fall again. This retrieve-and-drop approach is a proven way to fish larger hair and preacher-style jigs for suspended bass around points, humps, and channel edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor striped bass in moving water, focus on controlling depth instead of simply dragging the jig along bottom. Cast across or slightly up-current, let the jig sink, and retrieve at a pace that keeps it moving through the area where fish are holding. Increase weight when the current or depth makes a lighter jig difficult to control, but avoid using more weight than the presentation requires. The same basic depth-control approach applies when working the jig vertically beneath a kayak or boat over marked fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eBring a Different Baitfish Presentation to Your Next Trip\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the Whack Em Bucktail Jig in your tackle rotation for the times when you need to reach fish holding deeper or work a natural-looking profile through a bait\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Just Lures Fishing","offers":[{"title":"White Shimmer \/ 3\/8 oz.","offer_id":48603727003866,"sku":"BT121WS","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Shimmer \/ 1\/2 oz","offer_id":48603727036634,"sku":"BT122WS","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Shimmer \/ 1 oz.","offer_id":48603727069402,"sku":"BT123WS","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Shimmer \/ 1.5 oz.","offer_id":48603727102170,"sku":"BT1244WS","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Green Chartreuse \/ 3\/8 oz.","offer_id":48603727134938,"sku":"BT211GC","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Chartreuse \/ 1\/2 oz","offer_id":48603727167706,"sku":"BT212GC","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Chartreuse \/ 1 oz.","offer_id":48603727200474,"sku":"BT213GC","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Chartreuse \/ 1.5 oz.","offer_id":48603727233242,"sku":"BT214GC","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Red \/ 3\/8 oz.","offer_id":48603727266010,"sku":"BT311WR","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Red \/ 1\/2 oz","offer_id":48603727298778,"sku":"BT312WR","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Red \/ 1 oz.","offer_id":48603727331546,"sku":"BT313WR","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Red \/ 1.5 oz.","offer_id":48603727364314,"sku":"BT314WR","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Blue \/ 3\/8 oz.","offer_id":48603727397082,"sku":"BT411BB","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Blue \/ 1\/2 oz","offer_id":48603727429850,"sku":"BT412BB","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Blue \/ 1 oz.","offer_id":48603727462618,"sku":"BT413BB","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Blue \/ 1.5 oz.","offer_id":48603727495386,"sku":"BT414BB","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Pink \/ 3\/8 oz.","offer_id":48603727528154,"sku":"BT511WP","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Pink \/ 1\/2 oz","offer_id":48603727560922,"sku":"BT512WP","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Pink \/ 1 oz.","offer_id":48603727593690,"sku":"BT513WP","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Pink \/ 1.5 oz.","offer_id":48603727626458,"sku":"BT514WP","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chartreuse White \/ 3\/8 oz.","offer_id":48603727659226,"sku":"BT611CW","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chartreuse White \/ 1\/2 oz","offer_id":48603727691994,"sku":"BT612CW","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chartreuse White \/ 1 oz.","offer_id":48603727724762,"sku":"BT613CW","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chartreuse White \/ 1.5 oz.","offer_id":48603727757530,"sku":"BT614CW","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0446\/9732\/1627\/files\/WhiteChartreuse_inPixio.jpg?v=1789448911","url":"https:\/\/pescadorfishing.com\/products\/whack-em-bucktail-jig","provider":"Pescador Fishing Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
