Marcus Weiner and the crew head to Togiak River Lodge in Togiak, Alaska, for episode 11 of The Jig Life, targeting early-season coho with one of the most effective techniques of the last decade: twitching jigs.
The concept is simple but deadly. Work the jig up and down through the water column to mimic a swimming baitfish and the fish can’t resist. Marcus breaks down the sizes and shapes worth carrying and explains why the technique translates across multiple species.
Fresh coho are wired from the salt, and the erratic, lifelike movement of a twitched jig taps directly into those instincts, triggering aggressive, reaction-based strikes. This episode breaks down everything you need to fish twitching jigs with confidence on Alaska’s early coho runs.
