Salt Bug Jig
Peace Token Fishing Tackle
1301 Route 9 South, Cape May Court House
609-463-6851; www.peacetoken.com
The Salt Bug Jig targets giant sea bass with no bait required while avoiding dogfish! It creates a unique “striding” action on the slow retrieve, making it irresistible for aggressive fish. Drop the jig to the bottom, then slowly retrieve up through the water column about 50 feet. If you don’t get any bites, drop back to the bottom and repeat. When you feel bites, do not set the hook! Just keep reeling and allow the fish to hook themselves.
