Top stuff mate I have just purchased a jig rod pe .8/1.5 overhead now got to sort out a reel can’t wait to give it a try thanks again for the tips much appreciate cheers Yogi Australia

[@NZkayakfishing]

Cheers Brett hoping you stick to some of these techniques as they are very effective. Recently I watched a few clips based in your side of the ditch with micro jigs and the techniques shown were more speed jigging with them than actually slow pitch jigging which is what micro jigs are better suited to. Good luck with the fishing and tight lines cheers.

[@brettstewart6036]

Thanks mate you too 🤙🤙

[@capt.nelsonsilva635]

[@reelepicadventures8527]

Micro jigging is 1 of my favorite types of fishing! Ive been doing the same technique

[@NZkayakfishing]

Great to hear Callum are you using all of them or just one?

[@reelepicadventures8527]

all three of them. I have luck with 1/4 turns of the handle, fast action seems to get them fired up. If they don't like that on the day I mix it up and use all of them till I find what they are liking.

[@jamie_d___]

[@jeronemo9119]

that's great!!!

[@NZkayakfishing]

Thanks

[@nikossourlos7040]

Great video.Good explanation of techniques.I use microjigs and bigger jigs from shore and i have a question.Is it more effective off shore and vertical than doin it from the shore?For sure we snag more times from the shore but as we learning the technique,the places we fishing and the movement of the jigs we can avoid it enough.Excellent video (C&R)

[@NZkayakfishing]

Thanks and great to hear of your adventures with the jigs also. Yes we do cast them and there are some anglers using them from shore but definitely something to try more. With the kayak it is very quiet and so its possible to drop down to them with good success and they don't know you are there. I have cast as well from the yak and it does work but I do love hunting with them and a fish finder cheers

[@grossadam]

Great vid!!! You wouldn’t happen to know the brand/model of lip grippers you’re using in the vid do ya?

[@NZkayakfishing]

Thanks Pesca

[@dogstar4910]

Great video,wondering what brand the lip gripper was that you used.

[@NZkayakfishing]

Thanks, the lip grips are Pesca cheers

[@craigwheaton2506]

Nice Rob

[@glenichevangelista651]

I bought a medium rod 2.1m,3000 series reel qbd braid 20lbs.Is it ok for micro jigging?

[@rheubenburke129]

Awesome video, What's your kayak and setup?

[@NZkayakfishing]

Thanks. I use the Old Town Predator PDL Kayak and as far as setup if its kayak then we fit with Rob Fort Series accessories, Railblaza. The fishing setups OH set Maxel Hybrid 20 with Jigstar slow Jerk 20z rod and Spin Jigstar Tai Kabura rod and Abu Garcia Roxani 2500 reel. Look out for another upcoming video on this style of fishing which has more rod actions for sucess cheers

[@gengnyendaljember3044]

Very good sir

[@NZkayakfishing]

thanks

[@albaharh]

Hey Rob mate, what sort of combo you're using, and braid size, lures size etc ? always wanted to try Jigging but can't get my head on equipments as so pricy. cheers mate.

[@NZkayakfishing]

Ali I'm using a higher end set and worth the spend its a Maxel Hybrid 20ch, Jigstar slow jerk 6'3" 2oz rod, 20lb multi coloured braid, 20 to 30lb flouro leader, jigs sizes 28g Zest sling and 60g Zest slow jay are my favourite. It is possible to use a lesser value combo and even a softbait spin set can work depending on the rod rating but a shorter rod is better. I will cover setup and gear in another video soon

[@albaharh]

Thanks for the follow up and the info mate, will be waiting for the next eps. cheers.

[@Eliaslionloky]

Hi, what rod and reel do you use?

[@vanyugo154]

Hope you can read this or I'll just comment on your most recent post. Just wanted to ask about the rod and reel your using as well as the line. Thanks if gonna invest on a jigging equipment I would rather follow an an experienced angler. Thanks and you gained a new sub.

[@NZkayakfishing]

I think someone already asked this question before on this video but for the slow pitch style you cant go wrong with the Jigstar Tai Kabura rod matched with Maxel Hybrid 20 reel in overhead, spin Jigstar Tai Kabura rod and Penn Clash III 3000 or same size Penn Battle III reel, line weight braid 20lb cheers

[@danielkim3589]

Rob. Is micro jigging action different from slow jigging? Just confused while browsing various KZbin channels.

[@NZkayakfishing]

Hi Daniel. Firstly slow jigging is often the term used for inchiku lure use which are different. Perhaps you are meaning slow pitch jigging which is a technique used with both micro and slow pitch jigs?

[@j-pixnz8458]

I have a very similar setup the maxel rage and jigstar but the red acid wrap version, mine is the 603-4 what weight is yours? if you dont mind me asking rob

[@NZkayakfishing]

Great set up and also have that same rod in my arsenal. The one used in this clip is a 603-2 or 2oz slow jerk cheers

[@FreeStylez23]

Im from the Philippines and want to try micro jigs on our provide but I dont know where to buy and what setup need for this..I'm newbie and looking for some assistance.Thank you in advance in helping me... Hope to see more video. Thank you again

[@NZkayakfishing]

I use the Jigstar Tai Kabura and Slow Jerk rods and Maxel overhead reels. As far as spin anything with smooth drag and around 3000 size is excellent. Braided lines are best in PE 1-5 - 2. Fluorocarbon leader 20 lb to 30 lb and use 2 to 3 meters. Slow pitch style jigs are a good option also from 28 to 150 gram depending on the depth of water. These links will help with setups but you may want to search for online tackle store that can send to your area.

[@kwikflikzyakadventures3795]

Newbie Question: What size are the assit hooks and whats the weight of the micro jig. thanks for sharing and a great vid,Liked and Subbed

[@NZkayakfishing]

Thanks, trhe jig is a Zest Slow Jay 60 gram fitted with some Jigstar Ninchuku twin assist hooks #20 size you can also use #18 they are great for snapper

[@kwikflikzyakadventures3795]

thanks Rob

[@vsonic86]

Dude thank you for explain. Do you need to know how to swim if you want to buy a kayak

[@NZkayakfishing]

Thanks, doing any watersport it's always better for safety if you can swim, but wearing a correct fitting specific life jacket will be ideal, or perhaps team up with another kayak angler cheers

[@phillipegen8471]

Is that papa aroha or Colville area?

[@ZoofSkillzFishing]

I have a couple micro knife jigs. I wonder how well they would work with the species in South Africa!!

[@NZkayakfishing]

Jigs seem to work on many species all over the world in the right situation, give them a go you may be pleasantly surprised

[@ZoofSkillzFishing]

@@NZkayakfishing Will do! 👍

[@NZkayakfishing]

@@ZoofSkillzFishing tight lines

Can i have your rod sir.?

[@NZkayakfishing]

Lol sure call in to my store with your wallet mate and will sort you out cheers :-)

[@Fluid36]

Micro jigging is just what normal jigging was in the 90s with the grim reaper and buzz bomb lures etc. It''s been renamed and re-branded for marketing purposes. it worked then and it works now, nothing new really.

[@NZkayakfishing]

Sure did the grim reaper was fantastic and its great that this style of fishing has come back I reckon. Although slow pitch jigging is the exception and the new style jigs are way more advanced than the good old grim reaper cheers

[@Fluid36]

@@NZkayakfishing Yep sure do agree, things have advanced but principles are the same. Still effective and fun.

[@NZkayakfishing]

@@Fluid36 Absolutely and the thing you got to love about using lures is it stops bait use leaving any natural bait in the ocean where it should be. Plus like you have said lures are fun!
