Fall Jigging

[JerseyCoast]

Not sure if its been talked about here, but figured it fits the season.

When jigging for bass or cod in the Fall, we have found that using a teaser above the actual jig will catch about 50% of the fish and at times.....will result in double headers.

My go to color for the teaser is usually "GLOW" and it works on everything from bass, to cod, to tuna. Depending ont he species you are fishing for, often the hook size will be 4/0 or 5/0 for the teaser.

Placement of the teaser is pretty important we have found. I keep it between 12-18" from the jig. While testing different theorys, we have found that anything further than 18" just does not seem to work as well. No matter what color you are using for the jigs, the glow teasers seem to work best, especially in deeper water!

Using a simple teaser rig is all you have to do. Use a swivel to connect the rig to your main line, a snap swivel for the jig, ( some guys prefer no swivel to jig), and a simple dropper loop for the teaser itself.
