How do you butterfly jig?
there are to techniques in butterfly jigging the “Regular Jigging Action,” and the “Long Jigging Action.”
The regular action requires a precise motion and can be used with both conventional and spinning tackle. After the jig has been dropped to the target zone point the rod tip down and raise the rod with a circular motion. Lift on the upswing of the reel handle and lower the rod on the downstroke of the rotation. Your arm is held close to your body and the rod is loosely positioned right in your armpit. The total distance in which the rod moves is between 10 to 20 inches depending on how aggressive you want to be. I tried both fast and slow retrieves, and found that with this jigging action the faster retrieve seemed to work better. The more aggressive and willing to chase the species are, the faster you will want to retrieve. The Butterfly seems to work not because fish are necessarily in the mood to feed, but because they are on a reaction bite.
The long action technique will also work with both conventional and spinning tackle. The main difference here is that the rod is brought all the way to the 11:00 position. Once up there wind down bringing up the slack line until it is totally tight, which will lower your rod into the starting position. Simply repeat this process and vary your retrieve speed depending on how aggressive the fish are. In our tests we got into some serious schools of blue rockfish that were more than 40 feet off the bottom. In this situation the long action allowed me to work the jig in and out of the hovering school, and not only did the fish chase it but there were times when a fish was on the hook and another blue would still chase the jig as I was reeling the hooked fish all the way up to visible range near the surface! Because the Butterfly Jig uses free swinging hooks the straight pull of the main line keeps the hook inline with the fish, versus a normal jig where the weight of jig can act as a level to pry the hooks away from the fish. Using two hooks simply increases the chances of double hooking a single fish.
