This was one of the best tutorials for rigging assist hooks, The presenter was talking and although there was music in the background it was low enough so you could hear him talking. Other youtubers take notice. PLEASE!!! The videos with just loud obnoxious music and no talking, I instantly shut them off.
Turned up eyes , my fav hooks are SJ 43, , like many hooks need a kevlar clove hith padding between eye n top of knot to prevent cut thru 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟 5 star vid
Love the new storefront! Totally recommend anyone in South Florida stopping by, it's right in Pompano on Federal. Everyone there is super helpful and can give some great advice on all things jigging.
I don't have a boat. Or a fishing rod and reel. I haven't been fishing in 20 years. But I know how to make SPJ assist hooks! Been binging this channel for about a week now. Great fun!
For those who use shrink tubing, try using hot water from the microwave oven, it cures the shrink tube evenly. Just put a cup of water in the microwave for two minutes and place the assist hook with shrink tube in place under the hot water for 30 seconds. You can't go wrong, it works great.
Awesome video! So what kind of hooks are you using? How do you determine the size of hooks to use for the weight/size of the jig? Can you do a video for single hooks? Thanks!
We use 4/0 up to 7/0. The Johnnyjigs single assist is a great option as well as the Gamakatsu 510. There is alot of factors on hook size that I could do a whole seminar on. Based on targeted species, depth, jig profiles, and size. I will try to dig into that in depth throughout the year. Thank w.a...
Great video! I fish Louisiana for red snapper and we have to use circle hooks. I have just started using flat fall jigs rather than cut bait and am having good results but we are required to use circle hooks. I'm fine to replace factory hooks with circle hooks but would like your comments on how these work on a flat fall jig and what brand / size you recommend ... our snapper are 6-20 lbs. Thanks
Hey Ocean deep. Our channel is primarily devoted to slow pitch jigging. Let me know if there is any specific questions I can answer. I would be glad to help.
just received my Elevate rod and my micro jig kit-adventure pak and it does not contain any solid rings. How do I order, and what size? Also, do you have a video on how to rig them and how to fish them? Looking forward to gettiing started with slow pitch in my ripe old age of 76.
Would there be any advantage to attaching the double assist you show here to the lower solid ring of the ball-bearing swivel? Otherwise, It seems like a lot of HW between the jig split ring, solid ring assist hooks, and solid ring swivel, right?
@@JohnnyJigsTV Awesome, just to clarify, both ways you are fighting the "fish" with a split ring attached to the jig. This way in the video it's jig, split ring, assist solid ring AND BB swivel solid ring. The way I'm asking is jig, split ring, then BB swivel solid ring and that's it, because I'm attaching my PE Kevlar assist cord directly to the bottom solid ring of the BB swivel. So you are saying this way is better? To fight the fish? Sorry just making sure. Thanks.
Nice fishing apparel (shirts), could u pls sponsor our group with that uniform? Thanks in advance sirs... Fish ON!!! (Cabangan Reel Hookers , Philippines)
Hi I have Zenaq ikari 3 I fish with 150gr jigs and I use vanfook jiggen 3/0 sometimes they break …can you suggest me a hook also light but not to broke
Hi Benny, It depends on what trip you are planning on. If you are on a deep drop trip I would suggest having a reel packed with 15 or 20# test for the deeper water and a reel with 30# test for the shallow spots [400' and less] as for fluoro I would suggest 10 to 12' of 40 or 50# top shot. BTW thank you for checking out our channel and all the comments.....Johnny
The idea is when a fish strikes the pressure will cause the hooks to spread like a grappling hook and give you two places of penetration in different locations. Granted it doesn't always work out that way but that is the theory.
Excuse me, but I’ve watched this damn thing xxx times & it is not clear to me at all. That first over the top move is not demonstrated worth a damn. Get your fingers out of the way.
I'm sorry 😞 Martin...This video was done a long time ago we have since purchased better cameras and have worked on our production. If you call the shop on Monday I will be happy to walk you through this....Johnny

Nice video 👏👏 can I know how to you tie your snap please. Thanks a lot
You could do more info videos on slow pitch jigging. I'm just starting out slow pitch.
JJ Gots tons of videos on SPJ. Check out his page.
Hey Ocean deep. Our channel is primarily devoted to slow pitch jigging. Let me know if there is any specific questions I can answer. I would be glad to help.
@@JohnnyJigsTV wanted to know what's a good introductory rod that won't brake the bank to get started with? For slow pitch jigging.
Daiwa Harrier or Temple Reef Elevate
thank you, you don`t use shrink tube ?
Not anymore. It will add an extra layer of protection.
I purchased a jig, hooks and split ring. Do I also need barrel swivels on both ends?
just received my Elevate rod and my micro jig kit-adventure pak and it does not contain any solid rings. How do I order, and what size? Also, do you have a video on how to rig them and how to fish them? Looking forward to gettiing started with slow pitch in my ripe old age of 76.
Hey James, You only need solid rings if you plan on tying your own assist hooks. Did you receive the split rings??Do call the shop so we can help you.
Do you ever use wire for the cord? I had my hooks bit off the last time I fished in Florida with that setup
We do sometimes. I use a wire leader called Devil Line by Hitena and wire assist hooks by Van Fook. They are available on our site JohnnyJigs.com
I can't seem to find the Ocean KC UV Blue. Even on the Hitena site, they don't show KC available other than orange?
It has been discontinue...Try the blue hc chord. It's really good
Would there be any advantage to attaching the double assist you show here to the lower solid ring of the ball-bearing swivel? Otherwise, It seems like a lot of HW between the jig split ring, solid ring assist hooks, and solid ring swivel, right?
That is a great question. Yes, anytime you can avoid fighting the fish through the split ring you have a better chance of not losing a fish.
@@JohnnyJigsTV Awesome, just to clarify, both ways you are fighting the "fish" with a split ring attached to the jig. This way in the video it's jig, split ring, assist solid ring AND BB swivel solid ring.

What keeps the assist hooks from wrapping around the leader?
Show flash setup, please
Nice fishing apparel (shirts), could u pls sponsor our group with that uniform? Thanks in advance sirs... Fish ON!!! (Cabangan Reel Hookers , Philippines)
do you have turorial with hooks that don't have an eye, and slice cord?
Looks great Jonny thanks. Do your run two sets of these on most slow jigs, or just one set if it’s a shorter jig?
Hi Adam, I prefer hooks on top and bottom when possible. If the jig is short I will only put them on the top.
@@JohnnyJigsTV that’s what I thought, but wanted to check with a pro ;)
Tenkyou 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
I just can’t see what you do with the solid ring. Tried so many times. I know it’s me but any chance you could do one where it’s easier to see?
Rodger that. I will try to get a good shot of the jig next video.
Just started tying my own assist hooks but am having trouble finding material in my area. Do you have a website I can purchase from?
Yes johnnyjigs.com Also you can call the shop if you have any questions for me
What size 🪝 hook in example?
Hey Michael, it is a 5/0 hook.
Hi I have Zenaq ikari 3 I fish with 150gr jigs and I use vanfook jiggen 3/0 sometimes they break …can you suggest me a hook also light but not to broke
The properos hand ground hq 5/0
Hi, want to go yankee boat. I don’t know setup braid for my reel, SALTIGA LD 35JH
Hi Benny, It depends on what trip you are planning on. If you are on a deep drop trip I would suggest having a reel packed with 15 or 20# test for the deeper water and a reel with 30# test for the shallow spots [400' and less] as for fluoro I would suggest 10 to 12' of 40 or 50# top shot. BTW thank you for checking out our channel and all the comments.....Johnny
@@JohnnyJigsTV : you’re welcome . See nextime
what pound brai if you only had one slow pitch reel
20 pound all day
A curiosity... why should hooks face each other in slow jigging fishing?
The idea is when a fish strikes the pressure will cause the hooks to spread like a grappling hook and give you two places of penetration in different locations. Granted it doesn't always work out that way but that is the theory.
@@JohnnyJigsTV I understood! Thank you very much for the explanation my friend😉🎣❤
Se alguém quiser aprender mais sobre Jigg da uma passada na loja na federal hwy eles são muitos atenciosos realmente recomendo
It looks like the Uni knot
👍🏼👍🏼
scissors ,not sharp, they just slide , but serrated on one blade or kevlar to trap kevlar and stop sliding
Excuse me, but I’ve watched this damn thing xxx times & it is not clear to me at all. That first over the top move is not demonstrated worth a damn. Get your fingers out of the way.
