I like to set up three rigs at the same time, placing them in different spots around the boat. This lets me test multiple areas to see which one produces best. I drop the lure to the bottom, lift it slightly, then lock the reel and wait. I’ve found jigging works best during slack tide, which allows the lure to drop straight down instead of drifting, reducing the chances of snagging on rocks or other structure beneath you. When the current is lighter, I’ll switch to a smaller bucktail or even a lighter Carolina rig. Sometimes I’ll add a trailer hook, which works well not only for Redfish but also for Flounder, imagine that! Your best days will often be clear, calm weather with good water clarity. Jigging for Redfish isn’t new, it’s a time-honored, affordable, and highly effective tactic. And when all three reels start howling at once, you’ll be glad you tried it. Welcome to the old school, folks, it’s loads of fun.
