Shimano Game Type Slow J | Ocea Jigger F Custom 1500 HG | SPJ shallow water rockfish

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Excellent video with lots of catching on the SPJ. I just recently purchased a Shimano 1501 HG Custom F reel and it looks like a fish catching machine. We have been bringing SPJ’ing to the Florida Keys for about 2 years now and have posted quite a few videos of SPJ’ing here in Florida on KZbin. We look forward to trying SPJ on the west coast someday. Thanks for an informative video and greetings from Key Largo, Florida. - Captain Dan & Elizabeth

I find it funny how the mate said he doesn’t like the jigs he’s uncomfortable with them yet he sees you reeling in fish after fish after fish. You were really slaying them. I don’t care what I have to change. If I see somebody being successful I’ll try it.

[@fishingtacklechannel]

Such a great video and so much to learn! You are many years ahead of most fishermen in america. This technique is nothing new in Asia but it’s unheard of by most fishermen in america…. I know in a few years, most people will be fishing slow pitch technique like the bucktail rigs.

[@JimFanFishing]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@imeyouthem9303]

I really enjoy your videos. They are as entertaining as they are educational. Keep up the great work.

[@JimFanFishing]

Glad you like them!

[@kayakfishingcouple8866]

Thank you for the great video. Enjoyed watching your SPJ learning progress. I am trying to learn to use SPJ from my kayak.

[@minbrianbordley6809]

Thanks for the video. for SPJ I brought the amethyst LEVIATHAN Palmarius 2 power 150- 400gr 7'2" and shimano Ocea Jigger F Custom 2001 NFG, attempting to come west coast to fish out of Redondo beach. Learned much esp jig gram to depth, if they want 80 gr drop down, despite the rating on the rod 100 -150gr is a good gauge to start in 150' water. Your technique doesn't look exhausting, or taxing

[@samuelhaines4675]

Great job and excellent commentary.

[@user-xm6do4lc1j]

nice video. going to bookmark this page for re-watch later

[@JimFanFishing]

Enjoy!

[@hosu5724]

It was nice meeting you on the boat that day , hope we can fish together one day

[@JimFanFishing]

Was great seeing you! Let's fish together next time!

[@socaljiggingwithjohnny8287]

Nice job! Non stop chucks!

[@jtuck682]

Great video! You mentioned, perhaps in a previous video how great tasting Chuckle heads are, and I totally agree. Boy you really wacked them. It was very generous to go for boat limits after you had caught your limit. But, aren't you tempted to which to bait and catch a limit of White fish?

[@uncletony3674]

That looks fun!

[@sesgia]

good video. look like the rods is a bit heavy for the 80g. if you like a better result use 2 hook one on top and bottom and use teaser with it it works great. if you need hooks let me know i tie my own hook

[@ahmadrashidi]

nice video mate. where did you buy the green thing to support the rod in case of using the rail? what does it called. brand? thank you

[@517piper]

GREAT VIDEO - I enjoyed it. What are your thoughts on he Ocea Jigger reel after almost a year of use? I am thinking of getting one for Rock Fishing in the Monterey bay. Many Thx

[@JimFanFishing]

I love it. lightweight, powerful. smooth

[@scotttang4518]

What's the sea condition, high tide, low tide, slack tide, wind strength?

[@bertobartolo9868]

What jig would you use for 300ft of water

[@thomasbirkett5189]

Hey man saw you using some of the ocean cat jigs in your other videos was wondering what u think of them?

[@JimFanFishing]

Those are pretty consistent. but overall the water condition changes so much here that you have to adapt to different depth/current/locations with different types of jigs.

[@uaconfishingla]

Hey buddy, whats the purpose used of that small stick attached to ur rod near ur reel?

[@JimFanFishing]

Hi, that was just in case I needed to lay the rod on the rail (which I didn't for this rod).

[@steveg8637]

Would you recommend the M Game Slow J for 50-120' of water? Like the rod but think it may be too powerful for constantly using 80-120 gram jigs. Debating on this vs a temple reef setup

[@JimFanFishing]

I felt very comfortable jigging 80-120 gram on the M game Slow J. I prefer it to temple reef.

[@SonLe-uz5kb]

also what do you have strapped to your rod?

[@JimFanFishing]

it's a piece of plastics in case I need to set the rod blank on the rail. I didn't really use it.

[@kenth6140]

Hey. Ocea jigger 1500 vs accurate valiant300 . Which one do you like rather ?

[@JimFanFishing]

For rockfish, I like Ocea jigger better. It's more smooth and ergonomic.

[@JoshJ1563]

Question if their not biting the jig can I put on a dropper loop rig 4 oz weight use it like a regular rod? No casting just dropping it having weight on bottom for rock fish

[@solo022667]

Did you buy that F1500 reel from Japan or in US?

[@JimFanFishing]

From amazon Japan

[@richardyuen6354]

What kind of line are u loading this with?

[@JimFanFishing]

20lb braided line with 30lb leader.

[@TheZenCommuter]

How does this game type slow J compare to your temple reef rod?

[@JimFanFishing]

Game type slow J is lighter, shorter and easier to operate with one hand. Action-wise they're comparable.

[@DownloaderVideo]

What’s that green piece that you have attached to the rod? up after the reel. What line were you using? Thanks

[@JimFanFishing]

that green piece is in case I have to lay the rod on the rail. I was using 20lb braided line. Yozuri.

[@DownloaderVideo]

@@JimFanFishing Do you know how many yards of YoZuri 20 your reel took? Thinking about putting the same line on mine. Thanks!

[@JimFanFishing]

@@DownloaderVideo 450 yards of 20lb yozuri

[@DownloaderVideo]

@@JimFanFishing Thanks for the quick replies Jim, I’m experiencing the same as you…I have Temple Reef and I’m itching to try one of those Shimano Game Type rods. In your opinion after trying both what can you say about each, pros & cons and which one you like better or feel is best? Thanks

[@JimFanFishing]

@@DownloaderVideo That's probably worth a video by itself :) :) Overall I think both are very capable rods, with game type slow J more user-friendly to beginners/intermediate jiggers. The length of innovate will probably help if I go out on a long-range trip, but not so critical for day-trips on rockfishing, so I actually prefer the length of game type slow J. Innovate has slower action, but will be overloaded beyond 250grams of jig using basic technique (rod butt between arm and body). I haven't tested the shimano on heavier jigs so far, but I'll let you know once I get to try it out.

Just straight white braid or was there leader? Hard to tell

Is there a site where I can purchase the plastics piece that you use on your rod? or is it custom made?

[@JimFanFishing]

I bought it on ebay. it's some sort of tenkara rod line holder

[@JimFanFishing]

I don't use it anymore, actually :)

[@robertdaniels10]

are you using strain braided line with no leeder ? if so whats pound leeder you use on this trip ?

Is that a Gypsea Jig or Buffalo Jig?

[@karlobobiles2968]

How does the reel compare to your Accurate BV300SPJ? Do you see a need for someone to switch to the Shimano?

[@JimFanFishing]

I lost the accurate reel to the Ocean one time.. that's why I bought the ocea jigger. I think the ocea jigger is even smoother than the accurate. Both are great reels.

[@karlobobiles2968]

@@JimFanFishing - oh no, sorry to hear. Curious to know, did it come off the rod while you were fishing?

Do you find the length of the Shimano Game Type Slow J rod good enough for party boat fishing here in SoCal? I know you have a Templereef Innovate 80, is the added length on that rod any better?

[@JimFanFishing]

I think the 6'6 length of game type slow J is sufficient for rockfishing in SoCal

[@kc7270]

Is the grappler different from game type? Im confused.

[@JimFanFishing]

grappler type slow J is cheaper than game type slow J, but I heard it's still a very good rod, especially for beginners. Grappler has a faster action than game type

[@Talos353]

Is this reel powerful in this size 1500? I feel my 4000 size shimano spinning reel has a hard time even just reeling up a 150g jig :/ Is it easy to use this size jigs with this reel? And can it use even bigger jigs? Thanks

yes, I've used jigs up to 400g on this reel. no problem.
