I’ve worked in a tackleshop for years now. And you have said a perfect description of slow pitch jigging with regards to basic information to high end tackle knowledge!! Bravo sir!!!
I know a lot of jiggers poo poo on them but if you're on a budget and you want to try slow pitch jigging the chinese made Goofish rods are really not all that bad. I have a Goofish Black pe 2 - 4 and a Temple Reef elevate e1 and while I do tend to favor the Temple Reef, I can't say that I catch more fish with it. I have a Daiwa Saltist 15h on the goofish and a 20h on the Temple Reef. They are the Daiwa equivalent to the Shimano torium and it's just a preference thing for me. I've always been a Daiwa guy.
The philipino style is once youre on a fish you point the rod down and use the reel to just winch them in hard. If this is your style youll need a good reel as well
Excellent lower price point reel Torium 16 HGA RH - about 230.00 higher up at about 530.00 - shimano ocea jigger. 46 " per crank! - both reels & the torium 16 has 24 lb drag to jigger's 22 lbs. Both awesome reels. Rods - for now Ive got the metal witch (250.00)MTSC634SF a P3 rated rod for 150-200 gram jigs. The evergreen rod I want is just under 600.00 perhaps for Christmas...1 last endorsement - to see some really fine handmade jigs from Japan check Seafloor Control's website for every design for fishing 10 meter depth down to 300 meter depth. Ordered my 1st 2 secret rector jigs (red/gold zebra glow & silver/pink zebra glow) warning these are pricey lures but amazing workmanship. Great explanation will watch your others videos. Thank you.
Hello! Thank you for your informative video. I have purchased a jigging rod and thought I could pair it with my 1998 Abu garcia ambassadeur until you mention the 36 in retrieve as a minimum. I have been out on three offshore trips on my kayak and have gotten zero strikes nor nibbles. Do you think line retrieve could have something to do with it? I thought that rod tip action on the jig is what mattered the most.
Slow pitch rods are also excellent for bottom fishing with bait. I bought one for sheepshead and tautog fishing and I was a bit skeptical that the tiny rod would work for those fish but it surprised me
Thanks, Denny. I figure if you just want to watch pretty video of someone catching fish, there are thousands of youtube channels you can watch. Real information is much harder to find.
Good explanation... enough experience...if u can't answer my question.. with one u choose..normal blank rod or spiral contraction rod for slow jig...???! Thank pop
Mardi, Given a choice, the spiral arrangement of guides is better. Not a LOT better, but better. I'd not pay a lot more for it, but it is a nice extra. It actually should be cheaper. If the designer is taking full advantage of the spiral arrangement of guides, he can use fewer guides, which saves both material and labor. Bill
Brent, There are a lot of jigs special made for slow pitch jigging. The high speed vertical jigs aren't your best choice. Jibs made for high speed jigging typically have little inherent action on the drop. The butterfly jigs have worked very well for me in a variety of situations, and are sort of a middle ground between the full on slow pitch jigs and the high speed versions.
The Rod is a Shimano Game Type J, model B605. Made for a maximum jig weight of 300 grams. A great tool The more I use it the more I like it. I have used it for grouper in the Bahamas, and cod in Nova Scotia. The reel is a Shimano Torium 16HGA. (Not 14HGA, although the difference is only one of size.) If you look to our web site we have some tackle recommendations and specific rods and reels that make a goos system in my mind.
Norberto, I have this outfit rigged with line labeled as 20lb (which actually breaks at about 28lb). It would work as well with 30lb line, although the slightly larger diameter of the higher test line would affect your ability to get as deep.
The best explanation on the internet ! Good job 👍
Great way to explain slow pitch jigging! I'm looking to get into slow pitch. Will probably be buying a set up next month 👌🏾

Change the shimano torium handle up ...there is many aftermarket parts for torium ....you might be surprise the differences .
You are the only sailor talking about sailboat fishing. More videos please.
Excellent, straight to the point and easy to follow. 👌
Great video. I learned more here in ten minutes than I have watching an hour of others. Thanks for the info!

What the best rod cant use sir for the best jigging
What’s the name of that rod ?
Bryon, This is the rod discussed: Major Craft GXJ-B66/5SJ Giant Killing Slow Pitch Jigging Conventional Rod
@@thefishingsailor thank u
You should make more videos
Great video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Greetings from Mexico
What rod are you use sir
I've never tried slow pitch jigging. What lures do you use? I have a couple high speed vertical jigs and a set of butterfly jigs.

Butterfly jigs are good for slow pitch
And you reel

thank you for your video. what is the rod and reel model you are showing in your video.
The Rod is a Shimano Game Type J, model B605. Made for a maximum jig weight of 300 grams. A great tool The more I use it the more I like it.

@@thefishingsailor Thank you fir your reply. I already have the Torium 16, I will look for the rod. is that a 20 or 30# line setup? Have a great day.
Norberto, I have this outfit rigged with line labeled as 20lb (which actually breaks at about 28lb). It would work as well with 30lb line, although the slightly larger diameter of the higher test line would affect your ability to get as deep.
The Fishing Sailor thank you Bill, i really appreciate your help. keep safe and tight lines.
@@thefishingsailor I cannot find this rod anywhere online, are you sure that's the B605?
