Darter, the name of a group of small fish of the perch family. Darters swim about in short dashes, propelled by fins on the breast. These fish have no commercial value but are a popular attraction in aquariums. They have brilliant markings, especially in metallic green and bright red. Darters do not have gas bladders. Some burrow in the sand, leaving only their eyes showing. The female of one species, the Johnny darter, lays eggs under stones, and the male guards them. More

Rule #1: If it looks like a darter jig, the package says it's a darter jig...but it doesn't dart? Sorry, it's not really a darter jig. If you want a true darter head you must wade through the wanna-be's until you find one that is "center-balanced". That is, if you hung it on the line, it would hang as perfectly level as the scales of justice. To get more of a darting action, you may also need to shear off the collar behind the head and dispose of the trimmings properly. More
