  1. Attach to Leader: Tie the Perdigon Jig directly to your leader using a suitable knot (e.g., a clinch knot or a Palomar knot).
  2. Add Weight (if needed): Depending on the water conditions, add split shot or tungsten putty above the jig to help it sink faster.

Care

  • Rinse After Use: Rinse the jigs with fresh water after each use to remove any salt or debris.
