I also agree that in most cases the fish will hit the jig on the fall, but sometimes they don't.
There is no right or wrong. Try different presentations until you find one that works
No such thing as perfectly still on the end of a jig pole.
Try holding a jig out in the air perfectly still on the end of a line & jig pole sometime. You will be suprized how much that jig wiggles.
