GREAT Info, thanks Heaps.

[@triathletechink69]

First time I slow pitched, I used my Trevala Rod with my Avet 5.3 vertical jig set up. Just dropped for the hell of it in 1000 ft of water offshore and got slammed by a blackfin tuna. Crushed wahoo and dorado last season. And I only use JYG jigs. Spoke to Jorge on KZbin, dude is super cool people.

Great video guys, after the first one I saw you do from Reel Deal, I went there and met Mike and bought about 25 pounds of jigs to take back to Costa Rica with me. Keep up the great content!

[@fishbluewater]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@koogle612]

The casting upcurrent tip - I tell everyone around me on the party boat this & so many dont seem to hear it. By the end of the trip when Ive limited & they all are at half a bag they usually start paying closer attention.

[@naturalmystics-kd9vt]

Thank you for all these information I will be coming to your shop to buy fishing gears from you

[@waddell7354]

This is interesting. I've been doing this style of fishing since the late 90s. But we called it flutter jigs. The 2 that I used were the Crippled Herring and the Anchovey Dart. Another lure we used was the diamond jig. Those have been around since the 80s (at least as far as I know, may have been even earlier than that) We certainly didn't have access to the fast reels and rods that are available today, so it's definitely been refined into its own killer style.

[@fishbluewater]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@egs44]

Great video! Would love to see a more "advanced" spj seminar in the future.

[@fishbluewater]

Thanks!

[@ahmadghanem2414]

Fantastic seminar, I learned a lot even though I fish on the west coast in LOS ANGELES AND SAN DIEGO, BUT HOPEFULLY, YOU GUYS CAN DEVELOP certain jigging rods for those big blue fin tuna.good luck

[@fishbluewater]

You would be shocked what those little rods are capable of

[@jennpaul9871]

fantastic video

[@fishbluewater]

Thank you

[@John_Williams421]

I was about to say, I’m from the north east in Delaware under New Jersey and jigging and slow pitch jigging has been around for decades around here

[@John_Williams421]

Mainly for tuna and sea bass

[@clarencepierre5869]

+ to all the positive comments. Great video!

[@fishbluewater]

Appreciate it. Thanks

[@jimmymondragon2359]

Spj ftw lol tired a jyg on the west coast out of the Bay Area and they are a hit at the farallon islands won jackpot different times never know what fish will hit the jyg got a 6ft shark,salmon,rockfish and lingcod fun for sure

[@OCEANOUTKAST]

Great video. I have a question about the ball bearing swivel, Are you attaching the ball bearing swivel to the eye of the jig? the solid ring on the hook? or both with split ring?

[@fishbluewater]

Thanks! The split ring attaches to the eye of the jig and the ball bearing swivel and hook set both attach to the split ring

[@OCEANOUTKAST]

@@fishbluewater great thanks. Exactly how I pictured it.

[@Beevenom101]

So what you recommend for rod and reel brand?

[@BucktailBob]

Excellent! Is there a part 2 with the Q&A or was that not recorded?

[@fishbluewater]

We did record the Q&A. Can look into a video with that part as well

[@anthonynunez164]

Is there any advantage being able to hold position with a spot lock trolling motor if the current isn't rippin too much in under 300 ft? Or maybe using it as a drift anchor to slow the drift? @Fish_Bluewater

[@fishbluewater]

Absolutely. Love where your heads at! A trolling motor would work great and both Mercury and Yamaha offer similar functionality as well. Could be a big advantage especially when you are over a location where you are marking fish good and getting bites

[@acojo]

Does spj work from an anchored boat? Any adjustments to tackle have to be made to compensate for a non drifting boat?

[@fishbluewater]

Would need to be very little to no current from an anchored boat. Vertical presentation is key. If the current is running hard and you are anchored the jig will not fish effectively

[@wipe23]

Hi, what size ball bearing swivel is recommended ?

[@fishbluewater]

50 to 80 lb

[@laxbro7ify]

Thanks for this. May have missed it, but how many grams per foot or yard of depth as your general rule? ...Heard 1g per meter and 1g per foot. Big difference. Appreciate your expertise.

[@fishbluewater]

Yes that is definitely a big difference. The general rule of thumb is 1g per foot of water. But wind and current definitely factor in also

[@bringit3164]

@@fishbluewater This technique was made the Japanese yes? If they use 1g per meter you just can't have the same formula for foot. That makes no sense and doesn't conform to reality. Please make this make sense.... Now if your telling me we use thicker line that's a hold different story. Thanks in advance.

[@sharaguchi1]

@@bringit3164 I agree with you. What I've heard from others who have adopted the slow pitching technique from Japan is, 1g per 3ft for easy conversion, but if the current is ripping, go heavier in weight. 1 g per ft is way too heavy. 80g jig in 80ft would sink too quickly without fluttering much.

[@punasurf4697]

What about using a 12" 45 pound wire leader for wahoo? Does that hurt the jig action too much?

[@fishbluewater]

Worth a shot or use assist hooks with wire instead of mono

[@punasurf4697]

@@fishbluewater Thanks, I think I'll give it a try.

[@jimdrechsel3611]

Won’t you get a lot of break offs with hooks at the front because the fish will have the leader in the mouth ? Especially toothy fish. What is your suggestion for leader length and weight to enable proper fluttering action? Do you sell a set at a discount price? Thank you for the video. It helped explain a great deal.

[@fishbluewater]

Double hook set rig works fine. Toothy fish can cut it off regardless of hook placement. 50 lb fluorocarbon leader is best all around for deep jigging. Weight of jig is entirely based on how deep you are fishing.

[@jimdrechsel3611]

@@fishbluewater thanks for the reply. I plan to fish between 75-100’. Would 50 pound still be your choice. Enjoyed the seminar very much. I could use some help choosing which of your jigs to start with. There’s too many to choose from starting out. I plan to target grouper and snapper but of course anything else that bites. If I see a school of bait being cut apart on the surface which jigs would you use and why? Thank you.

[@ShinkiZer0]

​@@jimdrechsel3611 Im still learning spj as well. Tried floro 40lb and 50lb works really well for leader. 5 to 10 ft. Then depending on depth, current and structures. I start with their deep jyg then depending on current ill switch type of jyg or weight. I go with lightest weight i can stay vertical. I always use their Deep for slow to med current and Stryke for fast current or very deep water. I rarely used their wyld for no to slow current since there is always moving current when i tried their jygs and my line scopes out. The beauty of spj is u can fish which ever water column you want to fish. Just jig middle to higher column if thats the case. I did bottom jig for groupers and med column for ARS and AJs. Which worked out well. Its so fun that i just bought my first spj set up. 😊

[@jimdrechsel3611]

@@ShinkiZer0 thanks for the reply!

[@kleinvu653]

What are the recommended jig weigh to depth ratio?

[@fishbluewater]

1 gram per foot is the rule of thumb

[@naturalmystics-kd9vt]

Good day where your shop is located i would like to visit your shop

This shop is no longer open unfortunately. Johnny Jigs has a great store in Pompano and you can also go on the JygPro website to see who their dealers are

[@adammcgeorge3538]

Use the reel, not the rod when fighting fish on SPJ gear, the tv said the opposite :(

[@i1bike]

Dana white of slow-pitch

[@fishbluewater]

He’s got the knowledge 👌🏻

[@anthonygregorio2208]

If you're supposed to fight the fish with the reel why does it say Use the rod, not the reel under that heading Fighting Techniques on the screen?

[@fishbluewater]

If you need to turn a big fish’s head to get it off the bottom you’re not going to do it with the reel. The rod is critical for that. Once it’s up a ways off the bottom you can let the reel do the rest of the work

[@kizzjd9578]

High “tork” lol

[@pissywilly]

Tork

[@kizzjd9578]

Some things I disagree with is you can use a spin reel no worries. You don’t need an overhead reel. The other thing is I use cheap jigs which are $5 each compared to brand name jigs which are $15-20 each. I get the same amount of fish as a brand name jig and they do the same thing. The design is all marketing. Don’t let them fool you.

[@MrFloridasam]

Where do you get these cheap jigs at?

[@kizzjd9578]

@@MrFloridasam anywhere online, alot off ebay sellers or aliexpress. And I add my own bkk or similar assist hooks.

[@anthonygregorio2208]

Great seminar but the guy in the back get interrupting the one providing the instructor. Super annoying.

[@houla]

1) Put a bigger reel seat on a panfish rod. 2) tell everyone it the hottest trend from Japan…sell for $500 3) when it snaps, tell the customer he doesn’t know what he is doing. 4) profit!!!!!😀
