Quick take
Center-balanced butterfly jig that falls with a horizontal wobble, designed for vertical jigging in offshore waters.
Best for
- Deep-water vertical jigging from boats or anchored positions
- Targeting fish suspended at specific depths over structure
- Free-spooling techniques at known drop-off locations
Skip if
- You prefer to cast and retrieve lures
- You fish in shallow water or around weeds
Strengths
- Center balance keeps the jig horizontal during the fall, staying in the strike zone longer
- Wobbling action on the drop triggers bites from reluctant fish
- Stinger hooks with assist line increase hookup rates on deep fish
Trade-offs
- Butterfly jigging requires vertical presentations over precise structure
- The horizontal fall is slower than other jigs, limiting depth coverage
- The technique demands experience reading depths and bottom composition

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
