JIGGA METHOD FOR F1S

[TF_JohnH]

There was a discussion on here back in Spring about how good this method was and one of the Monthly mags editors came on promising a feature. Did it happen and if so where is it?

[TF_Leaky Lloyd]

I know ian Heywood was on about doing a feature for polefishing magazine at lindholme lakes,,
dunno if he’s done it yet though !

[TF_tjg]

doing feature this week, so hopefully will be in next months mag,regards ian Heywood.

[TF_JohnH]

Which mag is this?

[TF_JohnH]

Sorry LL presumably its pole fishing mag?

[TF_duzabit]

Already been done by Mark Wragg, he did a feature for pole fishing
in the October 2010 issue.. “get jiggy with it”….

[TF_moto46]

I purchased one of these rigs ready made from ebay briefly tried it at Barford and the float just kept sinking I havent a clue what I am meant to do with it !!!!!!!??? :confused:

[TF_CriagH66]

Jig it????

[TF_Mike Herrington]

Hi Moto,

You are supposed to keep lifting and dropping the rig whilst the float stays in the water.

[TF_moto46]

So just to confirm the float stays below the surface of the water and you then jig the bait up and down? :confused:

[TF_Mike Herrington]

Hi Moto, no the float will not stay beneath the water as your pole is supporting the weight of the shot (and not the float), thereby the float will sit on the surface. When you lower (jig) the shot down, the float then takes the weight of the shot and therefore sinks.

If you hold the weight of the shot, the float will bob up to the surface.

[TF_moto46]

Aha I see thanks for confirming that I shall give it another try !

[TF_Martin G]

Went to this years Fisho final at Cudmore, overall the day was a bit of an anti-climax as Jamie Hughes ran away with the event which was apparent he would do after the first few hours.

But more interesting than the overall result was the fact that I sat behind Lee Barratt who fished this Jigga method to great effect which proves this method is not just for F1’s which previously I assumed it was…

[TF_Mike Herrington]

Hi Martin, no it is not just for F1’s. I used it on a club match at Woodlands Lakes Thirsk and had 18 carp for 90lb odd. Not an F1 in sight. LOL. 😉

[TF_wonderwoz]

If you don’t mind me asking could you tell me how you set up your rig for this? Thanks in advance

[TF_Mike Herrington]

Put a Drennan Float stop on your line, then put on your Jigga Float, then another float stop below the float, then bulk shot, then your hooklength (4″). The gap between the two float stops determines how far you are lifting and dropping your rig be it, 6-12″ or 6″ – 2ft or whatever.

[TF_JohnH]

This method is in effect a bolt rig as the float is overshotted and therefore you need to hold a tight line. Rules at places like Whiteacres ban this so beware.
I think it would be ok if the float was not over shotted.
Technically shotting the line above the float, as many anglers do on conventional rigs to keep things straight breaks the same rules but not aware of any disqualifications yet.

[TF_wonderwoz]

Cheers lads.

[TF_rowdy]

john just come back from whiteacres rover won on jigga 142 lb questioned legitimacy of method but the lad took the rig into clint who said it was ok,or so he told me

[TF_JohnH]

It is ok if its not over shotted.
W/A introduced a none over shotted rule a few years back, mainly to combat a bolt rig type of approach to silvers on caster. Giles, who used this technique had to modify his rigs to comply.
I keep harping on about shot used above the float to hold the rig straight which is often employed at W/A is surely breaking this rule?
One of the problems with rules is they end up biting you when you never expect them to.

hi, this method is not overshotted, only when you add a grippa stop above float it is? personally do not set my rigs up in this way anyhow.!!!! lee barrat had a day with me before fisho final and are target weight to win was 90lb( which would have won for the last 4 years?) lee had 89lb for 2nd in not a good area ,lee fished my jigga foat + jigga pot, AWSOME!!! WELL DONE TO JAMIE HUGHES FOR FISHING A BRILLIANT MATCH 🙂 :confused: :confused: :confused: ) regards ian Heywood

[TF_tjg]

EXCLUSIVE, this weeks angling times features the jigga float,RIG OF THE YEAR.? its worth a read 🙂

[TF_Martin G]

Saw this featured in the Angling Times the other week and then again a great read in yesterday’s Match Fishing Magazine- reading the article and looking at the pictures looks like it is doing the business

[TF_wightangler]

Thanks tjg
Really like the shaker pot with foam lid – reckon that’s right handy for a lot of ‘normal’ stuff as well as the jigga,
Great article in M/F,
cheers. 🙂

[TF_JohnH]

Thanks I will pick a copy up.

[TF_tjg]

this method is allowed at whiteacres, ( spoke personally to staff before posting ) DO NOT OVERSHOT.
