How To Effectively Start Shore Jigging In South Africa

[@vsonic86]

Wow finally found what I’m looking for. I have jig para micro standard 10 gram, the hook is super weak. Can’t find hook to replace. What hook size should I replace it with so it can strong enough to take big fish? What is your favorite jig of all these if you were to pick one?

Try the BBK Shore Patrol S... It is a double assist though... BBK is the industry standard when it comes to Shore Jigging, just like Decoy...

Thanks Zoof! 👍well presented. What is the cash outlay required for someone starting off slow pitch jigging? The cost of all the terminal tackle mentioned as well 3 to 4 lures to start with. Thanks bud! 💪

That's a very good question! The Kingfisher Bonnie and Slider jigs 10g and 15g sell for around R20-R25 The Tsurinoya Arrow 7g sells for around R75 The Blu2798 slow pitch jigs 15g are around R70 The Zombie Lures Z-Slow 20g comes rigged with BKK doubles and single assist hooks on each lure for R100 a pop (value for money) The terminal are as follows: Janker Tuff Steel Pear Rings are R45 for 12 pieces The Kamatsu split rings are R35 for 10 pieces The BKK Joint Combat assist hooks are R120 for a pair The BKK Shore Patrol assist hooks are R120 for a pair An affordable option for assist hooks would be the Trident Single and Double assist hooks that go for around R50 for a pair each
