Fishing jigger, also known as vertical jigging, is a popular fishing technique used in various coastal regions of Pakistan. This method involves using a specialized jigging lure that moves vertically in the water column to attract fish.
In Pakistan\“s coastal communities, particularly in Sindh and Balochistan provinces, fishing jiggers are commonly used by local fishermen to catch species like sardines, mackerel, and pomfret. The technique requires skill and patience as fishermen must create an enticing up-and-down motion with the jig to mimic injured prey.
Traditional Pakistani fishing jiggers are often handmade using local materials. Fishermen in Gwadar and Karachi have developed unique jigging patterns that have been passed down through generations. The rhythmic movement of the jigger in the water is considered an art form among these fishing communities.
During certain seasons, fishing jigging becomes a communal activity where multiple boats work together. This traditional method not only provides livelihood but also preserves cultural fishing practices that have existed along Pakistan\“s coastline for centuries. |
