ライトゲーム（ジグ単）

Basic Structure of the Rig

• Rod and Reel: A light‑action rod around 6 feet is easy to handle, and a small 2000‑class spinning reel is standard.
• Main Line: For high sensitivity, ester line (around 0.3号) is popular because it has very little stretch and transmits bites well. PE line (around 0.3号) is also used for its strength.
• Leader: When using ester or PE line, attach about 50cm of fluorocarbon leader (around 1号) to the end.
• Jighead and Soft Lure: Attach a soft plastic worm to a jighead, which combines a hook and weight. Jigheads from 0.8g to 3g are used depending on conditions. Slender worms around 2 inches (about 5cm) are common.

Fishing Procedure

1. Casting and Countdown: After casting, count the seconds in your head to let the lure sink to the desired depth.
2. Action (Luring):
   Lift & Fall: Lift the rod tip with small hops, then let the lure fall to create a feeding opportunity.
   Shake & Retrieve: Slowly reel while lightly shaking the rod tip—another effective method.
3. Adjusting the Range (Depth): If there are no bites, change the countdown and explore different depths—surface, mid‑depth, and bottom.
4. Bite and Hook‑set: When you feel a faint tap like “kon” or “tsun,” lightly lift the rod to set the hook. No strong hook‑set is needed.
5. Landing: Since the fish have soft mouths, reel them in gently and lift them carefully.
