Twitching jigs can be frustrating. I've tried it with no success. Most of the folks I've seen doing it from the bank are snagging, particularly for coho. Any slight bump results in a eye-crossing hookset.

But that is NOT what Bob is talking about. As I see it, twitching jigs might be successful but it's not as fail-proof as the various articles seem to indicate. Twitching jigs from a DB might be more effective than doing from the bank.
