Can some of y'all please explain to me the concept of counting the jig down. I understand most of it a certain weight jig tied to certain line falls at a certain rate. But how does the jig stay at a constant depth during retrieval? I have always been interested in this method and would like to add it to my arsenal but I just don't fully understand it. And that causes lack of confidence in it.
