Slow Pitch Jigging Techniques - How to Jig Tutorial

I'm going to show you the 6 different rod actions I use in Slow Pitch Jigging to work the jigs
Going from basics to advanced, I will take you through how to "lift, wind, and follow" your SPJ rod and reel setup to create different jig actions, how to target different water columns based on the species, what jigs to use based on the drift speed, and a few tips throughout the video.

@@FishoDavo I do bud. It's called Skull n Bone kayak fishing UK. I'll post vids when I can of the times I'm jigging and I have already had a nice Wrasse of around 4½lb. The weather here is rubbish ATM. More like winter winds than summer but here's hoping I get out soon. 🙏

Thank you my friend :)

[@FishoDavo]

Thanks! 😀

[@Nomad_joey]

Ive always used popper and stickbaits. Trying them Synotek subzero slow pitch jigs in Cairns for first time ever and absolutely loved the jigging method. Much easier than casting and popping 😅. Thank you for showing these awesome techniques 🤙🤙

[@FishoDavo]

Thanks for watching!

Hey bro came from Daiwa reel owners group , remember the saltiga ic 100. Subscribed to your channel really good content 👍

[@FishoDavo]

Hey bro, cheers for the sub!

[@ewenslaughter7454]

Great video but you really should use plastic lip grips because those metal ones are putting massive holes through the bottom of ever fish's mouth. Perfectly explained video though man. Thanks for taking the time to create this great content

[@FishoDavo]

Good idea, I'll have to get one of those plastic lip grips. Thanks for watching and taking the time to give the advice

[@GCJetskiFishing]

Another great tutorial video mate, plenty of tips for people no matter what skill level you are. Keep up the great work! How do you find lure fishing from a ski compares to doing it on your boat?

[@FishoDavo]

Thanks Glen, I'm happy with either having fished on both for a while, I just find the full jigging motion a bit restricted on the ski.

[@jaenhermez2279]

love your vids as always davo, ive been converted to lures i dont use bait anymore and i always watch ur vids for tips and its helped and upskilled me alot and ive also shared ur knowledge to my family and friends thanks again , just a question the rod u use is obv quite expensive whats another rod thats decent price for slow jig pitching

[@FishoDavo]

Thanks for all your support, check out the Ocean's Legacy Slow Element, it's designed as a low cost and powerful SPJ rod, I have lots of friends using this model

[@joelsproyect47]

Thanks

[@FishoDavo]

No problem

[@ferrosjewellers4558]

So here is an awesome tip. Change your braid from one colour to multiple colours. Every colour is 10m..so, look at your fishfinder see the depth, then let the line out till you reach the depth of the colour. Doing this means you dont get snagged up, you already know when you are getting to the bottom by colours. You welcome, enjoy.

[@FishoDavo]

Yup awesome tip thanks!

[@rpratt21]

Great video thanks. Wondering what sort of leader strength you use for the gulf? Thanks in advance

[@FishoDavo]

Thanks Richard, I think 25-30lb is good for the gulf if you're not expecting a Kingfish to take you into a nearby reef. When targeting Kingfish I use my 60-80lb SPJ setup

[@rpratt21]

Thanks, much appreciated

[@markwatson5984]

Thanks for the awesome content, what know do you use for joining braid to leader for SPJ? Thanks

[@FishoDavo]

Thanks! I mostly use the FG knot

[@fishingbear69]

Nice video , what 2 jig colors would you say you have had the most success with wen (specifically) going after snappers ?

[@FishoDavo]

I find the blues and silvers have worked best for me, also pink as well

[@mrgmrg9375]

good day Davo , nice video , wondering what is the right ocean depth for jigging ? , i lost my jig the other day at about 8 meters depths , it got hooked at the reef maybe....

[@FishoDavo]

I think 8m is a bit shallow, as you'll be jigging up 1m at a time so it won't have enough time in the water. 20m minimum for me at the moment for Slow Pitch. If I'm microjigging or softbaiting then 8m no problem

[@nzfishinglife]

Nice video bro! keep it up! we need to get out for a fish together soon

[@FishoDavo]

Thanks bro! Sorry bout last week 🤣

[@nzfishinglife]

​@@FishoDavo all good bro! Next time!

[@alexz4786]

heya FishoDavo, did you use leader line in your setup for slow pitch jigging?

[@FishoDavo]

Yes definitely use matching or slightly higher breaking strain fluorocarbon. Braid will break too easily on fish teeth or reef

[@josephmuscat9764]

My Dilemma is always the same.Which reel should I buy. Im looking at Shimano Ocea 4000 Hg and Shimano Ocea 2000 NR. Any tips please ? Thanks

[@FishoDavo]

I think the 2000 is suited for everyday lighter use around pe1.5 up to 100m, while the 4000 is for jigging big fish in reefs or deeper water where you need more line capacity or stopping power

[@josephmuscat9764]

@@FishoDavo thanks for your advice.

[@jairusaudwin2605]

hey dave, is slow pitch jigging and slow jigging the same?

[@FishoDavo]

In Japan Slow Pitch Jigging is called Slow Jigging as in Japan Kabura fishing is call Tai Kabura. In NZ/Australia we call Kabura fishing Slow Jigging as we basically wind the jig up slowly. So the answer to your question depends on the country. Slow Pitch means you Pitch the jig up to have it flutter, Slow jigging means to slowly wind the jig up, fast or mechanical jigging is winding the jig up fast.

hi Dave，want to know the brand and type of your rod and reel thanks

[@FishoDavo]

Hi Andy, Ocean's Legacy Origin Slow Jigging PE2.5 and Accurate BV300L-SPJ. BTW in the description of the video there's also details of lures used too

[@andylee9497]

@@FishoDavo thanks a lot😁

[@FishingFishang]

can i use this technique on landbase jigging?

[@FishoDavo]

Land-based would be quite different, you'd need to use lighter jigs, different rod for casting, and work the jig and ensure it doesn't get stuck on the bottom

[@thehouseofaos8419]

Is it better to put leader line for SPJ?

[@FishoDavo]

Yes, I use about 1 metre of fluorocarbon for leader. You don't want it to be braid only, as braid is easy to cut by reef and sharp teeth

[@thehouseofaos8419]

@@FishoDavo thanks Dave !

[@thehouseofaos8419]

Follow up question, what joining knot do u use for joining braid and leader?

[@user-js6ev3gw3p]

is a slow jigging rod essential to do slow jigging? cant i just use a normal jigging rod and adjust my technic?

[@FishoDavo]

Just give it a go, there's no right or wrong and the fish will decide. I find it easier and more enjoyable with the right rod, it will lift the jig better and provide more sensitivity to feel the bite

[@frankmustakas6025]

a normal jigging rod wil be too stiff / fast for slow pitch but u can use affordable rods as slow pitch i am someone who likes regular jigging rods for all around use so i've been through this if you want the cheaper answer that gives u a good rod if u dont like slow pitch try the 7' tsunami trophy 2 its an inshore surf style spinner thats fully parabolic its only $100 the only recomendation id make otherwise is to glue the rod and make it one piece it comes as a 2 piece but its a 75/25 2 piece so only the reel seat is on the second piece its made to be glued after purchase use epoxy and glue it its a great slow pitch rod
