Not all stripers eat on the surface. The big ones -- the ones that make you rethink your reel's drag system -- often hold deep in rips, letting the current deliver food like a conveyor belt. The Jiggy is designed to reach them. The weighted head sinks it into the strike zone while the soft body materials flutter and pulse in the current, looking exactly like a baitfish that has given up on the whole 'survival' concept. Fish it vertically and prepare for a pull that comes from the deep.
