Frequently Asked Questions
MacDeep Jigs for Halibut & Lingcod Fishing Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What are MacDeep jigs used for?
MacDeep jigs are designed for deep-water fishing, especially for halibut and lingcod. Their heavy weight allows them to reach bottom quickly while mimicking injured baitfish on the drop.
Q. Are MacDeep jigs good for halibut fishing?
Yes, MacDeep jigs are highly effective for halibut due to their fast sink rate and strong vibration, making them ideal for deep, tidal waters on the BC coast.
Q. Can you use MacDeep jigs for salmon?
Yes, lighter MacDeep jigs are commonly used for salmon fishing. Their fluttering action on the drop triggers strikes from Chinook and other salmon species.
Q. What sizes do MacDeep jigs come in?
MacDeep jigs are available in a range of sizes and weights, allowing anglers to match depth, current, and target species.
Q. What colours work best for MacDeep jigs?
Popular colours include glow, chrome, and baitfish patterns. Bright or glow finishes are especially effective in deep or low-light conditions.
Q. Why are MacDeep jigs popular on the West Coast?
MacDeep jigs are trusted by BC anglers because they perform well in strong currents and deep water, making them ideal for fishing around Vancouver Island and Haida Gwaii.
Q. How do you fish a MacDeep jig?
Drop the jig to the bottom, then lift and let it fall. Most strikes happen on the drop, so maintaining contact with the jig is key.
Q. Where are MacDeep jigs made?
MacDeep jigs are handcrafted in Canada and designed specifically for West Coast fishing conditions.

Steve, is a asset to this company!! He was so very patient and took the time to explain the different reels and poles.

Have used this product for more than 25 years. Obviously works great for me. Would recommend to anyone.
The flasher should be good; I am waiting for the winter run of chinook before I put it to good use
The flasher should be good; I am waiting for the winter run of chinook before I put it to good use. I've had some good luck with Oki big shooter flashers in the past.
