Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit ruclips.net/user/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.
Wow, not only so knowledgeable but so well with a clear and interesting way of speaking. It's a joy to hear you speak. Thank you, I always get a lot from watching you.
From Guam USA, Hawaii here. We are so fortunate to live so close to Asia that slow pitch jigging is almost the norm here. Happy to see it’s catching on in the mainland. It’s not about loading up a cooler of the same fish, it’s about what am I gonna catch today with this brilliant piece of metal and extremely thin braid.

Ivw watched this probably 20 times now to make sure I've learned as much as I can. And I've got my saltiga and a nomad pe3 rod. With 15lb j braid. In 1 to 2 months ill be able to use it
Thanks for the presentation. Just purchased a Gooffish jigging rod, A Gomexus jigging reel, #8PE line and some assist hooks for the Jiggs I have had for a year!!
Great learning experience for this saltwater rookie. Took your advice and first time out caught 3 different species on same 200g jig. Got hit just about every time it hit the bottom. Addictive. You shortened my learning curve a ton. Thank you for these excellent seminars Mike.

He does educational fishing content to help others learn and improved their fishing (slow pitch jigging) skills etc. One other thing... HIGH QUALITY slow pitch jigging rods and reels combo can be had for less than 200 bucks from Asia, but not from the states. However, information are suppressed so American don't know about it. Just an FYI... Hope this information helps!
Excellent tutorial, like all of your videos! I do a lot of slow-pitch jigging lately & lost many fish & expensive lures to our toothy predators, such as king mackerel, barracuda, etc., because of the braided hook ties. The fix, I switched out all of my braided hook connections to wire connections, and also added a six to eight inch wire leader to my lure/fluorocarbon connection. It worked, as you can see for yourself by clicking on my Marlin, blue icon to the left ...
Thanks Mike ... your seminars are very informative ... I don't know of any that even come close to what you teach ... I'll look forward to trying them this weekend in Key West - keep up the great work you do
Start with $550 combo, after 1 trip I caught so many different species, I end up spending $900 for 2 rod (daiwa jigging and shimano ocea jigger limited) and $1800 for 2 Stella 6k pg and 8k pg. it’s really fun, no longer using dead bait.
So tru, yesterday is my first day doing slow jigging. Never done jigging at all in my life, I alway use dead bate to bottom fishing, but after yesterday no more dead bate, all slow jigging from now on.
You just convinced me about the old way of fishing to the new way..... I loved this seminar , have watched it several times and have taken notes. I just ordered a new rod from Florida Sportsman,jigs, and a new diawa reel. Thanks for you knowledge . I can wait to come to Florida for the winter, I WILL follow you from here on.. ....Thank you!!
Dear Captain, thank you for this seminar with so much good information but with some points that I disagree with. For example, I do not agree that any fishing rod costing less than $ 500 is bad. There are many rods on the market for lower values that make a great alternative to top brands and models. Another point where I completely disagree with you is when you say that in SPJ the jig is not animated with the rod but only with the reel. I think you should review your options because in any type of SPJ action (Slow Pitch, High Pitch or Long Fall) you can use the lifting movement as the reel to load the rod, and in the last two you must do so. Best Regards
rod builder here, this video is a great instructional! I will say though "spines on rods are a myth they are all made from material rolled on to a mandrel, there is a natural point that the rod "snaps" to which is what people call the spine but you will not break the rod by bending left or right, you will if you high stick it or grab the tip and bend a short section. fortunately id does not happen often even when your running a charter outfit where high sticks happen all the time.
Just finished watching your presentation Captain Mike. As always, you do an excellent job describing in detail the many fine points of gear and techniques of slow pitch fishing. I’m excited to learn and try some new techniques and gear. I love bottom fishing, so I am l looking forward to trying them out. Thank you!

01:42:37 you can also thread the topside line with a 5 pound weight and let it slide down the line to dislodge the jig from the wreck....or lose both the jig and the weight :/
Interesting and very educational video one question how far do you bring the jig up from the bottom when cranking the reel before you release the jig back down

So good tutorial. I’m wondering if in USA with the Slow Pitch Jigging they arrived also Inchiku and Tai Kabura. In Italy are the way of fishing from the boat since years. I found Inchiku e kab very easy, they work on the bottom and i saw those techniques worked with the rods in the road stand with a fisherman fishing with multiple rods.

It’s at 45 now. Probably 20 from people who’ve never done this before and 25 from people who’ve never fished in this area lol. All slow pitch masters of course
@Discov110 you don't need a 1500 dollar rig, but it is fun to use one, you can use a spinning set up for under 500 that will work, but if you can spend 1500 I don't think you'll regret it, just don't tell the wife 😮. Braid let's you put more line on a spinning real, you just got to have enough line to reach 400'-800' down. The spinning reals seem to have better drags, the conventional reels are more like a winch....FishOn.....jimi

Great video. Learned alot. Kind of confused though around 1:15 though. You are saying you are imparting action on the rod itself only by turning the reel handle and not actively jigging the rod itself? I know this isnt vertical speed jigging but you still need to move the rod AND crank the reel handle in combination, albiet much slower and subtle than speed jigging. Even all the Benny Ortiz videos show jigging the rod with and without retrieving line. Can you elaborate?
U can buy and order these rods from overseas. Japan and Maylasia makes badass unbelievable rods. Waay better than any mass produced brands to date that makes slow pitch
Ocea Jigger rods or you can use shimano trevala butterfly rods in the 80# line class with medium fast. I’ve got one and it works nicely For spj and only $180.
Do they make acid wrapped rods for left and right hand retrieve reels? If it is to prevents the rod from twisting when fighting on a right hand retrieve would that make it really twist under a left hand retrieve reel?
You can and many do. I like the power of a conventional rod though and have gone to spiral wrapped guides to get the benefit of both worlds. I’m fairly new to slow pitch jigging but I’m hooked solid…
Yes but much more effective with conventional, plus much more leverage and line capacity. Please join my new streaming channel with 300+ instructional videos at www.FSFTV.com. Sign up today and receive a free trolling lure. - Capt Mike
Enjoyed your videos and looked at the link for Rods, but you commented the one you showed in the seminar was custom, so how would I go about getting that specific rod? The link shows a number of rods, I'm not sure which one you were holding, or what was done to customize it. Thanks!

Quick question. Can I use a lighter jig than the SPJR is rated for? My TRG2 is rated for 150-400g. I probably won't be fishing in more than 200ft so 100-150g should be good. Less than 100ft.?
He's not using braid to the jig but I have decided the best knot is the one you tie perfectly each time. I like uni knots too but if someone is super confident in an improved clinch knot then that works too. The difference in strength is so minute it comes down to what you have confidence in tying. At least that's what I think.
Uni knot is great but very hard to cinch correctly with line over 40lbs. matter fact at 60lbs it's almost impossible to cinch and finish correctly. if you watch many of the videos online they all mentioned the same problem. also, if there is huge difference in diameter between both line it becomes an issue. especially with braid to mono/fluro.
You just gotta use a 3-4 power rod. 40# braid 80# leader and 25 lbs of drag. And don’t fish super close to wreck and you can pull ajs off wrecks slow pitching. I call it the wreck rod. Bigger line don’t work past about 300’ though no matter how heavy the jig and it better have an aluminum reel seat....
You dont have any trouble winching fish up with your high gear ratio? Ive noticed in my research most reels are 5 or 6 to 1. In my personal experience high gear ratios are more tiring.
@@DanhNguyenster64 Best to have lowest gear ratio reel with highest line pickup... he mentions high gear and what he should be mentioning is line pickup. 30 inches per turn at a minimum... Preferably closer to 40.
This line is excellent for all jigging needs. The colors change every 10 meters so if you're in Murica, you might need to calculate the depth in feet but with slow pitch, you're going to the bottom each time so not really needed. Good for knowing how far off the bottom you are and can also be used when vertical jigging in situations where you need to know how deep you are without the bottom being in reach. www.1stopfishing.com/shop/shimano-ocea-ex8-pe-line/ It's what I use on all my slow pitch and vertical jigging rods and have for the last 4 years or so. Very smooth, very strong, great knots. Until something better comes along, I don't have a need to change. Get some PE spray to condition / protect it, rinse properly and store out of UV and it will last quite a while. I've got 3+ years on a few of my rods and haven't had a need to re-spool yet.
Let’s not play the “if you didn’t pay x for your outfit it’s not x” game. There are plenty of rigs that are inexpensive that get people into our sport. Tight lines and big fish everyone.

when you have a lot of toothy fish do you use wire assists? i cant find a material i really like that's tooth proof but still has the movement you need
Yes, you can use steel assist hooks when the toothy critters are biting off jigs. I keep one single silver / glow striped jig in my tackle box with steel assist hooks and a small steel leader near the head for when the wahoo are thick and are biting off lures / baits. If I lose a jig to a hoo, I instantly swap to the pre-rigged (up-armored) jig and use it until the toothy fish move on. I also use this rig when fishing for ribbonfish / cutlass fish at night with success. Here is a link to the style I use. www.pecheur.com/en/gb/buy-assist-hook-decoy-dj-89-pack-of-2-50408.html I don't see any ill effects from the action of the hooks. If I'm vertical jigging, I just run hooks at the top of the jig. If I'm slow pitching, I run hooks at both ends and don't see a real difference compared to regular assists as far as action. I'm sure it's limited a bit but it still produces plenty of fish and stops me from losing 20 dollar jigs while missing really nice fish. There are other types but this style works well for me.
@@FloridaSportFishing Glad to help! SPJ and the even more deadly (in my experience) Kabura jigging are fast becoming addictions for me too! Link to the PFW-01 here: www.saltywatertackle.com/home/135-786-owner-zaito-power-flex-glow-pfw-01.html#/352-line_class-90_lbs
@@gowrestle160 black hole cape code. He didn't really dive into it but he said it very quickly right before talking about how parabolic the rod is and the acid wrap.
Nice vid but i call bs on saying its not a quality setup unless its 1200 to 1500 dollars shimano makes great setup rod and reel under 600 bucks ocea jigger 300 bucks and grappler slow pitch rod 275 bucks. Its a great setup
Stuff has definitely been getting cheaper. That reel is 340$ and only good for flat bottom though with 15-16 lbs of drag I think. Gotta crank it all the way down for sure
@@MrT13 not necessarily true tho. That reel has many different uses outside the one mentioned. The point is you can find great gear at lower price points.
@@MrT13 sure, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use these for say pier fishing. Sure the rods may be hyper specific but the reels have been around for a while.

Captain Mike recommends them in their last slow pitch jigging tv show I bought some. Look up Malta tackle, then the Seafloor Control jigs. They are a bit pricey especially no hooks, I haven’t fished them yet but they look great. You can look up the you tube videos to see action.
@@briankogan6871 SFC are spendy but they work really well. The other really good brand IMO is Deep Liner. Xesta has some good lures but SFC and DL are my favorites.
SFC are fantastic jigs, but sometimes its not economically feasible to replace 4-6 jigs per trip at a average of $16-$30 a piece. Luckily, as Slow Pitch starts to become more mainstream, the replicas will be more and more readily available. Try Tackleworld.com (used to be jigging world). They have many jigs extremely similar to the OG JDM jigs without the huge price tag. I've had very good success on the Qubee, and falling angel jigs. Diawa SK jigs are pretty great as well. Williamson has a few jigs as well that have good action as well.
for beginners like myself the daiwa sk jig has worked fantastic for california rockfish and lingcod. I was literally outfishing everyone using live bait.
Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit ruclips.net/user/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure.

So good tutorial. I’m wondering if in USA with the Slow Pitch Jigging they arrived also Inchiku and Tai Kabura. In Italy are the way of fishing from the boat since years. I found Inchiku e kab very easy, they work on the bottom and i saw those techniques worked with the rods in the road stand with a fisherman fishing with multiple rods.

wondering how those rectors would do in 60-150 ft of water for blue fin an yellow fin
Awesome! Great talk
21 dislikes, 10 from groupers and 11 from red snappers!
It’s at 45 now. Probably 20 from people who’ve never done this before and 25 from people who’ve never fished in this area lol. All slow pitch masters of course
All from people who won’t spend $1500 on his lil rod and reel
@Discov110 you don't need a 1500 dollar rig, but it is fun to use one, you can use a spinning set up for under 500 that will work, but if you can spend 1500 I don't think you'll regret it, just don't tell the wife 😮. Braid let's you put more line on a spinning real, you just got to have enough line to reach 400'-800' down. The spinning reals seem to have better drags, the conventional reels are more like a winch....FishOn.....jimi
Trust me, ive landed 20lb GT using slowpitch rod with spinning reel, casting popper. The others on the boat looked disguisting. I DONT CARE 😂

Can you please suggest couple of slow pith jigging rods ?
Capt Mike I'm going on Yankee capt halfway ledge trip 200ft to 400ft. What weight slow pitch jigs should I use?
The guys learned how to fish 🐟 jigging a 11 inch ice hole.
6 and 7 inch holes.
Question after you crank the reel and the rod loads do you go into free spool or allow the jig to drop in gear? Thank you for this seminar.
Great video. Learned alot. Kind of confused though around 1:15 though. You are saying you are imparting action on the rod itself only by turning the reel handle and not actively jigging the rod itself? I know this isnt vertical speed jigging but you still need to move the rod AND crank the reel handle in combination, albiet much slower and subtle than speed jigging. Even all the Benny Ortiz videos show jigging the rod with and without retrieving line. Can you elaborate?
I've seen "Da Mayor" in action and he hurts your eyes but catches fish.
You mentioned that you caught a 900lb blue fin, what set up we’re you using? Rod, reel and line
Old school broom stick, Penn Senator 16/0, 100 dacron. 824 pounds.Please follow me @FloridaSportFishingTV
Are these rods out, or are they still prototypes?
U can buy and order these rods from overseas. Japan and Maylasia makes badass unbelievable rods. Waay better than any mass produced brands to date that makes slow pitch
Ocea Jigger rods or you can use shimano trevala butterfly rods in the 80# line class with medium fast. I’ve got one and it works nicely
For spj and only $180.
Do they make acid wrapped rods for left and right hand retrieve reels? If it is to prevents the rod from twisting when fighting on a right hand retrieve would that make it really twist under a left hand retrieve reel?
I enjoy fishing and those who talk about just that
Can you effectively slow pitch with a spinning reel? Thank you
You can and many do. I like the power of a conventional rod though and have gone to spiral wrapped guides to get the benefit of both worlds. I’m fairly new to slow pitch jigging but I’m hooked solid…
Yes but much more effective with conventional, plus much more leverage and line capacity. Please join my new streaming channel with 300+ instructional videos at www.FSFTV.com. Sign up today and receive a free trolling lure. - Capt Mike
We’ve went from zing pow to wack pop. Hmmm🤔🤔
Enjoyed your videos and looked at the link for Rods, but you commented the one you showed in the seminar was custom, so how would I go about getting that specific rod? The link shows a number of rods, I'm not sure which one you were holding, or what was done to customize it. Thanks!

UK, Canada harshest lockdowns. What else do they have in common?
Evidenced-based!
Does DECOMPRESSION while bringing these fish to the surface ?
Can you slow pitch jigging with the spinning reel?
You can but its best prwcticed with a conventional reel
can I jig shallow water near a reef? around 50 feet deep… Which rod and jigg weight should I use?
You can, but I have found slow pitch jigging to be far more effective in deeper water. Where are you fishing, what area? Also, please join my streaming channel at www.FSFTV.com.

How do i know if the jig is a slow pitch jig ?
the manufacturer will state that is a slow pitch, nomad design, shimano and many other make them
slow pitch jigs have to different sides. that way the jig flutters. fast jigs have the exact same sides..identical.
Is he referring to momoi diamond braid?
Crazy question can you slow pitch for fresh water fish that feed on bait fish like bass walleye pike musky etc
Ya use a flutter spoon
Quick question. Can I use a lighter jig than the SPJR is rated for? My TRG2 is rated for 150-400g. I probably won't be fishing in more than 200ft so 100-150g should be good. Less than 100ft.?
You use which ever size jig that can get you down to the bottom vertically as much as possible. Lighter jigs. Shallower water.
I think the uni knot is better especially for braid.
He's not using braid to the jig but I have decided the best knot is the one you tie perfectly each time. I like uni knots too but if someone is super confident in an improved clinch knot then that works too. The difference in strength is so minute it comes down to what you have confidence in tying. At least that's what I think.
Uni knot is great but very hard to cinch correctly with line over 40lbs. matter fact at 60lbs it's almost impossible to cinch and finish correctly. if you watch many of the videos online they all mentioned the same problem. also, if there is huge difference in diameter between both line it becomes an issue. especially with braid to mono/fluro.
Where can I buy the x9 line at?
You never mention the weight rating of the rods for an all around rod would you recommend 10-30 or 20-40?
Most slow pitch rods are rated in grams (i.e. 160-230g) and made specifically for slow pitch jigging.
I still haven’t been able to find the diamond braid he is using. Anyone got a lead?
Kids really going to just stand there lol
Has anyone ever done this over a wreck or heavy structure ? I can’t see it working especially for big AJs.
a 25-50lb slow pitch rod can handle fish up around the 100 lb mark
You just gotta use a 3-4 power rod. 40# braid 80# leader and 25 lbs of drag. And don’t fish super close to wreck and you can pull ajs off wrecks slow pitching. I call it the wreck rod. Bigger line don’t work past about 300’ though no matter how heavy the jig and it better have an aluminum reel seat....
👍💪
I used jigs from Ali express worth $7-$12 each and I catch plenty of fish. I think $50+ jigs are a ripoff 😂
You dont have any trouble winching fish up with your high gear ratio? Ive noticed in my research most reels are 5 or 6 to 1. In my personal experience high gear ratios are more tiring.
I went with a tranx 401 low speed with a jigging world power handle matched to a phenix titan slow pitch jigging rod.
@@DanhNguyenster64 Best to have lowest gear ratio reel with highest line pickup... he mentions high gear and what he should be mentioning is line pickup. 30 inches per turn at a minimum... Preferably closer to 40.
Where can I find the PE line?
Where can I purchase the line. Can not find anywhere. Also can’t find rods on Chaos site thanks.
This line is excellent for all jigging needs. The colors change every 10 meters so if you're in Murica, you might need to calculate the depth in feet but with slow pitch, you're going to the bottom each time so not really needed. Good for knowing how far off the bottom you are and can also be used when vertical jigging in situations where you need to know how deep you are without the bottom being in reach. www.1stopfishing.com/shop/shimano-ocea-ex8-pe-line/ It's what I use on all my slow pitch and vertical jigging rods and have for the last 4 years or so. Very smooth, very strong, great knots. Until something better comes along, I don't have a need to change. Get some PE spray to condition / protect it, rinse properly and store out of UV and it will last quite a while. I've got 3+ years on a few of my rods and haven't had a need to re-spool yet.
Call me directly for rod info, 954.942.7261
Don’t buy chaos rods. They have no idea what slow pitch is. Just another brand trying to get on the bandwagon. Get a genuine Japanese slow pitch rod
peterk814 Evergreen Poseidon rods are very popular in Japan and I have several that are good. Lots of great Japanese models here as well.
peterk814 explain why they don’t know how to build a slow pitch rods.
Who was the guy on the boat 10 feet away from you that you saw jigging and smoked you Mike?
Let’s not play the “if you didn’t pay x for your outfit it’s not x” game. There are plenty of rigs that are inexpensive that get people into our sport. Tight lines and big fish everyone.
Mantab, sayang gear slow pitch gk ada yg murah..
I size leader line do you use, 50lbs?
You want to be tied direct to braid. Poly lines stretch too much for proper action. You want zero stretch.
The vast majority, im fishing 40 lb Diamond Presentation Fluoro - Please join my new streaming channel with 300+ instructional videos at www.FSFTV.com. Sign up today and receive a free trolling lure. - Capt Mike
when you have a lot of toothy fish do you use wire assists? i cant find a material i really like that's tooth proof but still has the movement you need
Yes, you can use steel assist hooks when the toothy critters are biting off jigs. I keep one single silver / glow striped jig in my tackle box with steel assist hooks and a small steel leader near the head for when the wahoo are thick and are biting off lures / baits. If I lose a jig to a hoo, I instantly swap to the pre-rigged (up-armored) jig and use it until the toothy fish move on. I also use this rig when fishing for ribbonfish / cutlass fish at night with success. Here is a link to the style I use. www.pecheur.com/en/gb/buy-assist-hook-decoy-dj-89-pack-of-2-50408.html I don't see any ill effects from the action of the hooks. If I'm vertical jigging, I just run hooks at the top of the jig. If I'm slow pitching, I run hooks at both ends and don't see a real difference compared to regular assists as far as action. I'm sure it's limited a bit but it still produces plenty of fish and stops me from losing 20 dollar jigs while missing really nice fish. There are other types but this style works well for me.
@@gaijinfishing thank you for the reply, ill check them out
@@jaadmaan8156 Owner also make a PFW-01 Zaito assist cord with a wire core in it that works well.
Thank you for the knowledge. - Capt Mike
@@FloridaSportFishing Glad to help! SPJ and the even more deadly (in my experience) Kabura jigging are fast becoming addictions for me too! Link to the PFW-01 here: www.saltywatertackle.com/home/135-786-owner-zaito-power-flex-glow-pfw-01.html#/352-line_class-90_lbs
Cause we all can afford to bring 8 $1000+ set-ups (not to mention an assortment of $50 jigs)
what bran Slow Pitch jig rod and reel combo sir
He said the reel is a daiwa saltiga 30 wide and he didn't say what the rod was
@@gowrestle160 black hole cape code. He didn't really dive into it but he said it very quickly right before talking about how parabolic the rod is and the acid wrap.
Link the line who sells it
Nice vid but i call bs on saying its not a quality setup unless its 1200 to 1500 dollars shimano makes great setup rod and reel under 600 bucks ocea jigger 300 bucks and grappler slow pitch rod 275 bucks. Its a great setup
Stuff has definitely been getting cheaper. That reel is 340$ and only good for flat bottom though with 15-16 lbs of drag I think. Gotta crank it all the way down for sure
@@MrT13 not necessarily true tho. That reel has many different uses outside the one mentioned. The point is you can find great gear at lower price points.
@@samh4232 ok. Well I don’t own any ocea reels so I agree? More of a accurate/black hole kinda guy myself…
@@MrT13 sure, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use these for say pier fishing. Sure the rods may be hyper specific but the reels have been around for a while.
@@samh4232 yea lot of guys use them for kite rods.
Literally everyone else uses the rod to impart action. Here he says use the reel only. Gets confusing
Agreed in full.... why die with all the money in the bank.
whats brand name of the rods ?

He reminds me of Captain Dave from Wicked tuna.
link some of the jigs you use pls
Captain Mike recommends them in their last slow pitch jigging tv show I bought some. Look up Malta tackle, then the Seafloor Control jigs. They are a bit pricey especially no hooks, I haven’t fished them yet but they look great. You can look up the you tube videos to see action.
@@briankogan6871 SFC are spendy but they work really well. The other really good brand IMO is Deep Liner. Xesta has some good lures but SFC and DL are my favorites.
SFC are fantastic jigs, but sometimes its not economically feasible to replace 4-6 jigs per trip at a average of $16-$30 a piece. Luckily, as Slow Pitch starts to become more mainstream, the replicas will be more and more readily available. Try Tackleworld.com (used to be jigging world). They have many jigs extremely similar to the OG JDM jigs without the huge price tag. I've had very good success on the Qubee, and falling angel jigs. Diawa SK jigs are pretty great as well. Williamson has a few jigs as well that have good action as well.
for beginners like myself the daiwa sk jig has worked fantastic for california rockfish and lingcod. I was literally outfishing everyone using live bait.
