Where did name "jig" come from?
Still waiting for plumber to make an appearance ( hot water leak), and was just worndering about this name or association or whatever it may be! I should have been fishing today instead of waiting on a turd herder . HA

jiggle
Am betting it is the word jiggle shortened. You jiggle when you dance don't you? So to jig, is to make the lure dance.
