Which casting jig weight should I use from shore?
A metal is chosen for the wind and the depth in front of you, not for the fish. Match the weight to what your rod casts comfortably, then adjust shape for how fast you want it to sink and swim.
What to look for
- Weight
- 30–60 g for most shore jigging; 15–30 g for lighter spinning rods.
- Shape
- Rear-weighted for distance into wind, centre-balanced for a fluttering fall.
- Hooks
- Assist hook at the top for jigging, treble at the rear for fast retrieves.
- Colour
- Silver and blue in clear water; pink or glow at dawn and dusk.
