  1. Light Jigheads in Deep Water – Offshore Tactics That Work

  2. The Natural Presentation Advantage light jigheadsallow your bait to fall and move more naturally. When you're fishing deeper reefs, wrecks, or ledges, many predatory fish become selective, especially after seeing heavy tackle day in and day out. Light jigheads give your soft plastic or bait a slower, fluttering drop that mimics a wounded or escaping baitfish.

  3. Best Baits to Pair with Light Jigheads • Scents make a big difference in deep water where fish rely more on smell. Use scented plastics like: • Berkley Gulp! • Fishbites soft baits • Pro-Cure gel added to your lure • The extra scent trail increases your chances of a bite, even if your presentation isn’t perfect.

  4. Letting the Jig Fall Naturally • Here’s the real secret: don’t rush the fall. • Drop the jig and watch your line closely. • If it stops sinking suddenly, you’ve likely been bitten. • Once it hits bottom or the desired depth, jig it slowly and let it flutter again.

  5. Increased Bites with Finesse Tactics • The offshore environment has changed. Clearer water, more pressure, and smarter fish have made finesse more critical than ever. Light jigheads fit perfectly into that shift. • They excel when fish are: • Suspended off the bottom • Finicky due to bright sun or high boat traffic • In colder water and less aggressive
