Jigs are also effective when used at slower speeds. Larger, heavier baits may also be used. Jigging spoons are more effective in deeper water. If jigging hooks fail to work, try a smaller spoon/plug.
A cut bait works best when bluefish are not in a frenzy, and the oils will attract them. This type of bait is also available in a variety sizes and shapes. Steaks can be cut with precision, while fillets need to be shaped and angled to attract visual strikes. Cut baits can be a great bait and also present a more effective presentation.
