Both children and their parents often have a love for angling, as well as other activities we humans engage in on waterways. In times past we had to make lures by hand, and the jig was born from this need as our understanding of what was required to ensnare fish improved. Our modern version of this jig is called the spinning grub, and it has improved on the design in many ways.
Bright colors that would not fade easily in water were vital to this craft. The under-lake world is a dark one, and the brighter the threads utilized, the more likely it would be for a creature to visualize the lure, and be lured in. An accomplished artisan would be able to create a tail for their jig which would make it wobble slightly, left-to-right or up-and-down as the fisherman drew his line in slowly and steadily.
This wobbling motion is intended to imitate the movement of an injured fish or insect. Fish and other aquatic creatures can feel and hear the disruption this wobble creates in their environment, and they are able to pinpoint the basic location of this injured creature. Aquatic animals are easily caught by hooks because, while they can see the brilliant strings and feel the gentle wobble of the jig, they generally do not visualize the hook until it is too late.
Retailers who provide a modern version of this string jig have perfected the design of this style lure, including a much longer and more rounded tail. This particular design creates even greater visibility in the water and a much larger wobble. A larger wobble means greater water displacement, meaning the creatures of the dark will be given the impression that a much larger animal or insect has been injured.
The bigger the fish caught, the fewer baby fish are caught and released during the course of a day. This means that the humans can get started eating much earlier in the afternoon. The wobble of newer lures attracts larger fish, as smaller ones will avoid the indication that a larger fish is nearby because even an injured fish undergoing the death throes will be an opportunistic eater.
Under the waters of lakes and rivers on our planet lies an alien world. There is enough violence and horror in this place to keep any scary movie junky satisfied for life, which would not be long for most of us were we to be members of their environment. Everything in the world of fish, insects, and reptiles is both a predator, and potentially the prey of one of their neighbors, sometimes even their own kind.
Us human beings regard lakes and rivers as tourist attractions that encourage teens to skip school and fathers to lay in a boat all day. We are large enough to not be eaten in most lakes of the world, unless a freakish catfish is lurking somewhere nearby. While the piranha of South America are known to kill humans, we can kill many more of their numbers by tricking them into spearing themselves on our hooks.
The largest of lake predators can be fooled by the ingenuity of humans, however. Their world is a dark and perilous one, and one of those perils comes in the form of faux prey who idly float or swim by. Because fish cannot clearly see what they eat, human beings are able to trap them on hooks to be lifted from their realm and delivered to a dinner plate on the sandy beach nearby.
