Even though using a jig may not be new, in my personal opinion it is not what it is cracked up to be.
It works, I have seen guys catch on jigs, but no better than rig fishermen.. However, this was typically later in the season when the water is cold, and the fish are deeper and slower.. I would imagine in shallower water with active fish, it is a very effective method. bob
