Please explain the proper technique of the Jigging practice and why this is used.
Thanks.
Are you referring to jigging in the context of standing stem helicopter logging, as seen on heli-loggers on TLC?
Well, what you do is get a piece of lead with some bucktail attached to it and hide a fish hook in there. Then you drop that rascal down to the bottom on a stout line attached to a good pole and bounce it on the bottom. Sometimes a fish will come along and see it. He/she will think it is a shrimp, or some other form of fish food, and bite it. When he/she does that, you will feel a knock, or a jerk, or a thump on the line. That's when you yank back smartly and set the hook. If you play that fish properly, you will end up with him/her in the boat. :)
This is used when natural bait is at a premium and you need something to fish with :P
Me too Tom I thought we were going Crappie fishing ;D

You can also use this method when you want to fish and really just don't want to catch
Jigging is a dance that loggers did back in the day.
Usually phrased as dancing a jig, with a room full it's known as jigging.
Jigging, leaving a strip of wood that the helicopter can break and lift the tree off the stump.

Isn't there a Monty Python skit on this????
Thanks to all who replied to my question about jigging. I am sorry that I was not more specific about fish or trees. Thanks Kevin for the photograph of the cut. Fred
