Definition
A method of fishing using lures on a vertical line moved up and down (jigged) by hand or mechanically, often in conjunction with the use of lamps to attract the targeted species.
Description
The technique requires keeping the jigging lines moving constantly in the water. This is usually done by jerking the lines, quickly pulling in the slack, jerking once again and so on, until the jigs are back to the surface. The line is then thrown out and allowed to sink to the desired depth, and the same jerking motion is repeated over again.
