I have been asking at fishtec lately about this jigging technique. They said jgging isn't necessarily the drop straight down tug up and down motion you would do for lakers, but for strawberry it is using a tube jig. They do a slow retrieve or drifting motion with the jib and a slight twitch but he said not a big tug like they do if they are dropping straight down. It isn't even necessarily on the bottom. just drifting where the fish are at. To me this sounds similar to a slow retrieve with a woolly bugger. The tube jigs look similar to a wooly bugger and the best color is reported to be the pearl white. I am considering throwing this jig on my fly rod this friday also will try a white bugger to see if the interest is similar. Let you know how it turns out.
