If it's a fish, you'll catch it; if not, you'll likely pull it loose. The best time to jig is when fish are schooled up in a small pocket or contact area. It requires concentration and a very SLOW presentation. When fishing in strong wind, river current, or deep water, go to a heavier jig and fish vertically.
