The difficult part is choosing a jig heavy enough to reach and stay in that zone without making the tackle unnecessarily tiring to fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eFor years we have used 100 g jigs around Sydney reefs and wrecks, particularly in roughly 40 to 60 metres of water. They have also been used by Downrigger Shop customers around Australia on kingfish, amberjack, Samson fish, Spanish mackerel and other reef and pelagic species. That does not mean 100 g is the right weight every day. Strong current, fast drift or deeper water can demand a heavier jig, while shallower or calmer water may allow you to go lighter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Fish a 100 g Jig?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA 100 g metal jig sits in a very useful middle ground for boat-based offshore jigging. It has enough weight to sink quickly through a moderate water column, but it is still comfortable to work on appropriately matched tackle. That matters because jigging rewards time in the strike zone. A jig that exhausts you after a handful of drops is not helping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eOur starting point is simple: use the lightest jig that will reliably reach the fish and let you maintain useful contact with it. Watch your line angle. If the jig is sweeping well away from the boat before it reaches the target depth, step up in weight. If it is dropping cleanly and you can work it through the marks on the sounder, 100 g may be all you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eThe Current Downrigger Shop 100 g Jig\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eWe changed from our older slimline 100 g jig to the current body shape in 2022.

We have moved much of that older catch photography into our \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/pages\/how-to-get-started-with-jigging\"\u003ejigging guide\u003c\/a\u003e, where it is more useful for showing how versatile the 100 g weight class can be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eFive Colours in Every Pack\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eEach pack contains two Blue, two Orange, two Silver, two Black and two Pink jigs. Colour is not the first variable we change when the jig is missing the strike zone, but once weight and presentation are right it is worth rotating colours if fish are marking but not committing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eSilver is an obvious baitfish-style starting point. The contrasting brighter and darker finishes give you options as light levels, water clarity and fish behaviour change through a session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eHow to Fish These Knife Jigs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eFor classic vertical jigging, position the boat so your drift takes you across the fish or structure rather than rapidly away from it. Drop the jig to the marked depth, engage the reel and work it upward with coordinated lifts of the rod and turns of the handle. Vary the speed and length of the stroke until you find what the fish respond to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eDo not automatically send the jig all the way to the bottom. If the sounder shows kingfish suspended above a reef, use line markings or your depth awareness to put the jig through that band. Working the water where the fish actually are is both more efficient and less likely to snag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eNew to the technique?

But it has to be remembered that many anglers like that are new to offshore fishing. Meaning they aren’t up to running 25 miles offshore to Allmark, or wherever. What works best in this situation is targeting the close in reefs and wrecks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s plenty of those off Sydney. They fire up around Christmas time and produce fish right through to late autumn or even early winter. Wrecks like the Annie Miller, the Coolooli and spots like Long Reef and the Artificial make it easy to get into fish just a couple of kilometres off the coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut usually these fish are on the small side, around the legal limit of 65cm. That doesn’t worry me in the slightest because if you match tackle to the fish size you are in for a torrid and unforgettable battle. A 70cm kingfish jigged on 6 kilo line is a real handful and if you can get them boat side you’ll be deservedly pleased with yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Andy hooked up offshore on a micro jig with the Downrigger Shop combo\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1940\/1341\/files\/andy_hooked_on_micro_jigging_large.jpg?v=1540426550\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the key is to match the hatch.

I run a single or double spreader bar off the downrigger to represent a school of frightened garfish trying to get through the danger zone. Set the popper two metres behind the spreader bar to represent a baitfish trying to keep up with the school.

It can also be cast at surface-feeding pelagics when the tackle and conditions allow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no fixed maximum depth for a 40g jig. Current, wind, boat drift, braid diameter and the jig’s shape all affect how quickly it sinks and whether it remains in the strike zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse the lightest jig that still gives you useful control. If the line is sweeping well away from the boat before the jig reaches the fish, move to a heavier jig.

If fish are suspended, avoid automatically dropping all the way to the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe jigs can also be cast at feeding fish and retrieved like a compact metal lure. Change the speed, amount of lift and length of the pause until you find the presentation the fish respond to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe chemical light is an additional visual cue, not a substitute for putting the lure in front of the fish.
