Why Metal Jigs Catch Fish

Metal jigs, made of Lead or more commonly a Zinc alloy are a popular lure the world over for boat or shore anglers alike, and for the yet to be initiated you may wonder why these lures work so well.

The reasonably simple explanation is that they resemble bait fish in most eco systems.

In estuaries smaller jigs (10-60g) will immitate anchovies, white bait or sardines and bigger jigs potentially being mistaken by pelagic fish fish for Horse or Slimey Mackerel.

Next time you are fishing and obeserve silver flashes in the water, tie on a jig and see if you can't tempt a hungry fish that will surely be following close by.
