The late great fisherman and friend of Shimano, Jose Wejebe offered this saltwater fishing tip: "When fishing for bottom fish, such as grouper and snapper, using a technique known as vertical jigging or deep jigging, the addition of a scented plastic tail to the bucktail jig makes all the difference in the world.  Adding scent and bulk to the lure increases the bottom fish catch while vertical jigging."
