An active fisherman, Jan Michael Berkowitz enjoys blue water fishing. This style of fishing targets large fish such as marlin and tuna and Jan Berkowitz has won several blue water tournaments. When fishing for tuna, individuals primarily use two different styles of jigs.
Jigging is an important technique for bringing tuna deep in the water to the surface so that they are more attracted to bait. The easiest jig to use is the flat-fall jig, which is designed to flutter and attract tuna as it falls through the water. To use this jig, anglers just drop it to the depth of the tuna and then reel it back up several times; there should be no tension on the line, so it is important not to jerk the rod up and down.
Anglers may also use a flat-side jig, which is meant to be moved quickly through the water column. This jig involves a bit more skill to use properly, but it can be effective at a wider range of depths. With either jig, it is important to use a rod made for this purpose, as well as a thin line that allows the jigs to fall quickly.
