Knife Jigs

A “jig” is a general term for a fishing lure designed to be fished vertically with a “jigging” action. A “knife jig” is a specific type of jig with a flat, blade-like profile that is usually heavier towards the tail. This design allows it to quickly drop through the water column, often used for fast, aggressive jigging techniques. Essentially, a knife jig is a specialized design within the broader category of jigs.

Knife jigs are often used for fast jigging techniques where you want the lure to drop quickly and aggressively. While other jig types can be used for slower, more subtle presentations.
