Our fist encounter of a person twitching a jig was late in the season B-run fish on the Skoke, they were not even using feathers, plastic, or any thing on the hook. Just a painted lead head and hook, yea they were snagging a few fish but most of them were hooked in the throat. So it's more of a presentation thing, the vertical up and down action really gets those coho's going and they bite.
