How to catch starlings with a jig

For beginners in starling fishing with a jig, I suggest starting with the classic stop'n'go jigging. It is done as follows:

• We lower the bait to the bottom
• We make several turns with the reel
• There is a pause until the bait falls to the bottom
• We make several turns of the coil again.

We adjust the height of the bait by the number of revolutions of the reel and the winding speed. This is the classic way of jigging that all beginners start with.

For passive starlings, the bottom stretching technique is often used. We lower the bait to the bottom and, slowly winding the reel, drag the bait along the bottom. Thus raising a cloud of turbidity and attracting an apathetic starling.
