When is the buying season for jigs?
Short answer
Night offshore jigging peaks in autumn and winter in most northern-hemisphere markets, when surface activity and tidal movement line up.
In detail
Working back from a shelf date using published lead times means confirming an existing-mould order about 7 to 9 weeks ahead, and a new colourway or tooling programme about 10 to 14 weeks ahead.
