After dropping your jig into the strike zone, the first turn of the handle loads the soft tip of the rod, since slow-¬pitching requires rods with this action. “The tip snaps the jig up and then the jig free-falls in the strike zone. After a couple of short seconds, that fall ends, so you have to develop a cadence, making quarter-turns or half-turns of the reel methodically to load the rod. Usually, I make five or six cranks, and then I free-spool the jig back down.”
Because of the specific types of jigs used, the presentation mimics a disabled baitfish fluttering instead of fleeing.
