MY SLOW JIGGING RODS AND REELS EXPLAINED

[@ynicholasyu6599]

Thanks for such a comprehensive explanation of the full range of reels that you utilize for the different fishing conditions. Wished this was available before I geared up!

[@TheFishingKit]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Maxrebow]

Thanks once again for sharing your experience/knowledge. Always look forward to watching.

[@TheFishingKit]

Thanks, Max!

[@JoshSuman]

Another awesome video! It was really good to see how you strategized your equipment according to what fish you were targeting at what depth, conditions and how frisky the fish are. The overlap definitely helps if one is limited on equipment. But of course don't compromise on quality line.

Still has holes in the system but getting there. :)

What is te red wrap on all your rod butts? What do you do for a living?I love these videos...you have addicted me

[@TheFishingKit]

they are blank protectors so the blanks dont get damaged when placed in rod holders

[@giannissakellarakis8232]

Hello from GREECE. Congratulations for your very detailed video. I want to ask you about the red protector you use on the back of your rods. What exactly is it and where could I get it? Thank you very much!!!

[@TheFishingKit]

it is a wrap so the blank wont get damaged when you put it on rod holders without rubber linings. I got mine from a friend, as a gift.

[@djmocok]

What braid brand do you usually use?

[@TheFishingKit]

momoi and YGK

[@tjuan7]

Nice collection of SOM reels! where did you buy all the extra spools? Ever try electric reels for really deep fishing?

[@TheFishingKit]

Id use electric reels to fish over 600m thats meters, not feet.

[@TheFishingKit]

I got the reels and spools from the factory

[@jcngujo]

hi sir, can i utilize my ocea jigger 2000nhrg for shallow and deep jigging by buying two rods?

[@TheFishingKit]

nothing and no one can and will stop you from using it for anything - the question is if it will work well for the application.

[@ShinkiZer0]

Great vid as always! For pe line. isnt it the deeper you go the thinner the line to prevent scoping? When wud you use an x4 vs x8 lines? How much drag do you use? Thanks

[@TheFishingKit]

4x has less stretch than 8x, 8 is stronger. So it depends on what you prioritize. For me, it would be a waste to not use 4x on a system that's very sensitive. The deeper you go the more apparent the need or the usefulness of the correct combo, not just the line. Drag - would rather not touch this topic as people have their own thoughts about this and are quite stubborn in their ways...so I will just say my drags are set right.

[@ShinkiZer0]

@@TheFishingKit appreciate your info. I just wana hear your thoughts on drag application. I cud care less what others say. Most of your vids helped me alot tbh . So your system realy works. Cheers and keep it up! I always tell friends to check your vids when their starting spj. =)

[@tobiasdonner6268]

I have a reel what rod should I get. I don’t know where I will be fishing, I want a setup to take with me when I travel just to have something for jigging when I the opportunity comes up. Can you give me a direction on the rod blank specs it should have and what jigs to use? The reel retrieves 75cm per crank, has 10kg drag rating and holds 270m 0.30mm mono. The spool has a max outer diameter of 42.6mm (line will be a bit less) and 31.2mm inner width. Thanks!

[@TheFishingKit]

slow jigging blanks are specific to slow jigging, you can't just pick out a blank and decide for it to be a slow jigging rod.

[@tobiasdonner6268]

[@TheFishingKit]

Not me personally, but it has been done by freinds in Japan and thry have been doing this for a long time.

[@Thommoed69]

Hey mate. Loving the videos! The adajo, you seemed to rate it. They seem good for yhe price and s true slow pitch rod. If im fishing say 60-80 metres with fairly high current, would you siggest this for a good startjng point? I currently have two other rods and looking at a third to work in a heavier current situation

[@TheFishingKit]

Thanks 👍

[@jessertyndall2403]

As always great information and knowledge. Two questions. I am a freshwater fisherman and was thinking about trying slow pitch jigging for lake trout in 40-250 foot of water. Have you heard of people using this technique in fresh water? Second I picked up a goofish PE 1-2 pink rod. Is that a decent rod for the job?

[@TheFishingKit]

Goofish is not good. Its the rod version of a "get rich fast" scam. I often ask people why they dont subscribe to get rich fast scams but subscribe to unbreakable rods. I have a friend actively jigging for trout for a long time now, It is nothing new. 12-76m - nothing strange about this , you ise 12-80g jigs. With the right line, the right rod and reel, should be ok - get a proper rod, reel and make sure your line is japanese braid (amazon japan) makes a whole difference.

[@jessertyndall2403]

Thanks for replying. I haven’t been able to find much info on slow pitch jigging in freshwater or for trout. I currently have a seigler sgn with daiwa j braid 30 pound. Looks like I’ll be looking for a new rod.

[@TheFishingKit]

Reels - Daiwa Saltiga and Ocea Jigger are standards, Seigler are very heavy. J braid is american spec, meaning, it is thick if you compare it with PE 1.5 (which breaks at 30lbs) You are looking at the 1000 size for OJ or 10H for Saltiga, you can also use the Ocea Conquest 200 for this purpose if you want a reel with a level wind. These are all jigging reels. Go on youtube and search in Kozo Okubo's channel. He's the friend I mentioned. He isn't the only one doing it, they also jig for Salmon in Japan, even having special edition jigs for the salmon. @@jessertyndall2403

[@thomasgarbett1711]

Love your content as usual. Looking to buy some spare SOM spools, what are your thoughts on carbon vs cork drags in them?

[@TheFishingKit]

Cork drags ensure that your leaders (or any other mistakes you have) won't pop when the pressure increases...it eases into the drag pressure you set the reel in, carbon drags are great if you are confident that your knots and terminals are spot on. Both are good, just that I believe cork drags give you a bit more when it comes to fighting fish with lighter line and leader.

[@bringit3164]

Just got some spare spools on Amazon JP!

If im fishing say 60-80 metres with fairly high current, would you siggest this for a good startjng point? I currently have two other rods and looking at a third to work in a heavier current situation. I currently have a pro hunter slow rider pe2.5 and a oceans legacy elementus slow in pe2. Typically I use about 130-180gram jigs but at times a vertical jig is difficult with the current we get here. Watcing your videos I'll need to get some smaller profile jigs and possibly a stronger rod. I currently run saltiga 12 in pe2.

[@TheFishingKit]

It's a good budget option, it's not a true slow jigging rod - It's an Asian Style rod. I believe the adajo goes up to 500g I might be mistaken, but this was my work rod back in the day, so yes, it does the job.

[@Thommoed69]

@@TheFishingKit thanks for that! Will Watching to see what else I can discover Cheers

[@raymondgorski5744]

I have some fairly large spools of tan colored Kevlar line from 100 lb to 500 lb test. Would this line be suitable for assist cord material?

[@TheFishingKit]

Yes you can, but it depends on how they are braided - this dictates how they will last, loosely braided cord will not last as long.

hello, thank you for your uselfull guidence, I am currently fishing around 80-120 meters and ı am looking for a rod that is maximum 200 euros, would you have any suggestions, thank you again for your help. Love from turkey

[@TheFishingKit]

There are no good rods for around that price. I suggest you save your money and get something that works so you dont waste your money on half assed rods.

Thank you again for your help, what would be the rod that would be ideal for 80-120 meters and jig gram around 100-200 so I can buy the right rod and not waste money, if you have any suggestions that would be great, thank you again for your help

[@lanele1058]

fast or slow reels depend on the user. instead of one full turn, you can crank half or quarter turns on fast reels. But I believe the main factor for slow vs fast is the fish you're targeting. once the fish is hooks, it can bolt to the surface or towards the fisherman. And this is where the fast reel is needed to keep up with the fish and line tension. To me the fast reel can be slow but a slow reel can't be fast.

Sooooo complicated! I have 1 slow jigging rod and 1 reel. Even the cheap Chinese reels still cost hundreds of dollars! If I can’t catch em on what I have, that’s just too bad 😂

[@TheFishingKit]

In the US, or anywhere that has conservation, there's a lot of fish and you can pretty much be off the mark by a huge margin and still catch fish. you can use a handline and still catch fish...but we chose the rod and the reel...too bad for us huh?

[@officialWWM]

@@TheFishingKit yes. You are a victim of marketing. The reality is, I’ll bet I can still catch as many fish as you with my single rod and reel setup. The fish simply don’t care about your gear! The manufacturers do.

[@TheFishingKit]

@@officialWWM Then you are a far better angler than the rest of the world. You should really start taking videos of your fishing adventure and show us how to do it man...we need people like you to step up and show us how things are done.

[@officialWWM]

@@TheFishingKit lol, not everyone has millions of dollars to invest in 20 different rods and reels and an 8m boat to get out there! Some of us have families and bills to pay. Does that mean we should be denied the opportunity to go fishing? My point is, if you have one decent rod and reel and a little skill and experience, you can be just as successful on the water as someone with all the gear and no idea! I’ve proven it over and over again. Maybe I should make some videos to prove my point!

[@TheFishingKit]

@@officialWWM Exactly what I am saying - go out there and show everyone how it's done....and try and do it outside of Australia as well, especially in places where there's no conservation and show us that having just one rod and reel can do it all and that you can catch anywhere and anything with your one set up...man, that's going to be a hit! Let me know, I will sub and follow your adventures.
