Vertical Jigging Retrieval

Try out a new fishing technique in the game Vertical Jigging where lures like pilkers, spoons, jigs, and more are dropped straight down into the depths and retrieved with sharp, jerking motions to mimic injured prey.

Vertical jigging is a precise and effective way to fish, offering anglers the chance to engage fish directly below the boat in deep or open waters. To help you master the technique, the game tracks your retrievals in real-time, so youll know exactly when youre doing it right.
