Lingcod rigs can be a very effective way to catch more fish. The rigs generally have 2 hooks with a rubber squid on each.  You can add some cut or live bait to sweeten up your lingcod rig. These are generally easier to fish than a jig and will also produce some larger rockfish as well as some nice lingcod! You can purchase some here on our shop lures page

With the new jigging rod technology and new ling cod lures made specifically for lingcod fishing it is much more sporting and enjoyable to fish for rockfish. The new light weight rods and light spectra line makes for a fun day of fishing for rockfish and ling cod. The new Japanese style short stiff rods for this style fishing work great! Find a nice rockpile or pinnacle and set up to  drift over it. Let your jig sink to the bottom and lift up and down . With ling cod you will feel a violent strike and often times they will hit your lure as it is falling as we’ll as you are lifting. it is a lot more fun fishing with lingcod lures instead of live bait.

Ling cod jigs, are they better than bait?

Some people swear by the jig and fish nothing but the jig! If bait is readily available ling cod will devour the right bait. I like to use big greenback mackeral, sand dabs, sardines, and live squid when available. It’s great if you have live bait available but in the winter months when lingcod fishing is best a lot of bait barges are closed and making your own bait can take a lot of time. This is when you break out your best ling  cod jigs and ling cod lures. There are many types of jigs out there that have worked for decades like diamond jigs but ling cod lures have come along way in recent years with really life like lures and jigs that will draw a strike from even the shyest lingcod. Check out some off the newer style octopus jigs in our shop lures page.image
