A round cross-section jig that looks just like a weight.

Jigs with a round cross-section have fewer downstream currents behind them, making them most resistant to speed.
In other words, even when pulled quickly, they do not spin and generate less downstream flow behind them.
Of course, they do wobble, but compared to traditional flat-shaped jigs, this wobbling is extremely minimal.
This is a decisive difference from other jigs.

Additionally, the silhouette is uniform and smaller compared to jigs of the same weight.
It has a volume close to that of tungsten.
Tungsten jigs are generally considered to appeal mainly through their high specific gravity and water drainage, emphasizing size.
However, the flow created by the jig itself is also small, which is different from typical jigs.
Therefore, there is no reason why a round shape would be unsuitable.
It is necessary to consider what aspects of small fish are perceived as natural in a lure.

What do you think about jigging?
Some people approach it with a religious image, while others consider it scientifically.
The act of fishing itself is often focused on results, which leads many to sell products that resemble spiritual or superstitious schemes based on others' theories.

Jigging involves the boat captain dropping metal pieces into spots identified by fish sonar, then performing a jigging motion—jerking at appropriate timings and reeling up, then dropping again.
This simple action is perceived as having advantages or disadvantages, which is somewhat absurd.
This discussion is about a product that challenges that notion.

In deep seas, do fish see jigs as fake or not see them at all?
The real truth is that fish tend to bite whenever there is some movement.
There may be subtle differences in how they respond to different movements, which could vary depending on the lure being pulled.
It is highly likely that visual cues, the flow and waves generated by the lure, and the speed and timing of the movement influence whether fish attack lead or other metals.
However, in deeper waters or areas with strong water flow, this tendency is more easily observed, while under visible light conditions, it becomes somewhat more difficult.

In simple fishing operations, the main variables are:
- The strength of the jerk
- The speed of the retrieve
- The frequent changing of the jig

Are the flow and waves generated by the jig related to fish attraction?
If so, then the shape of the jig would likely influence its action during the same jerking motion.
Of course, the quality and magnitude of the waves and flow also change accordingly.
The most influential factor in this conclusion is the slow jigging technique.
While fish are generally attracted by the lure's movement, in slow jigging, the primary method is to entice fish through the lure's momentum rather than active manipulation.

Fish observe the lure carefully and sometimes even mouth it.
Sometimes they bump into it with their bodies, but what exactly determines the action of the lure remains unclear.
So, what are our criteria for choosing a jig?
What influences whether a fish bites during slow, high-pitch, or fall movements?
Why do small jigs sometimes get hits as if they were size-appropriate?
Many mysterious phenomena occur in this context.

The effectiveness of different types of jigs has yet to produce consistent results due to the uncertain nature of fishing.
Among the various types introduced to the market, one is a long-type designed for high-pitch use.
This type has long been prone to darting and tends to fall diagonally.
It rotates finely and offers low resistance when pulled.

A short, thick, flat-type jig used for slow retrieves feels gentle even with slow jerks, but depending on how it is moved, the long type can have a larger movement itself.
The depth largely influences this, as water viscosity and resistance do not significantly affect line tension.
What happens at greater depths?
Naturally, it stops sliding.
Even though the movement is so subtle that it can be achieved with slow pulling, once a large resistance from the line occurs, there are no other factors to move the jig except pulling.
Because it moves too much, inertia does not build up, and it stalls.

I observed slow jigging at 400 meters, lifting the jig overhead and dropping it, but it did not move as the angler desired.
However, the discussion here is about the results:
Even if the theory is incomplete, the fact remains that fishing occurs successfully.
If so, wouldn't it be easier to create a jig suited to these results?
That is what I thought.
Of course, this is not everything, as fish behavior itself can change.

But what I am about to introduce can be utilized as a part of jigging techniques.
