Slow Pitch Jigging Techniques | PENN Combos | Nomad Lures

[@FrvrCwbyF]

I love slow pitch jigging out here in San Diego. Never fails, I always use Shimanos Butterfly Jigs. I got interested in it after seeing Sammy Hitzke do it on his channel a couple years ago. I use a Daiwa BG 5000 MQ with a Phenix Black Diamond rod with 50lb braid and a 40lb fluorocarbon leader. Never skunked yet slow pitch jigging.

[@LocalKnowledge]

You've got the bug also! It's too much fun.

[@FrvrCwbyF]

@@LocalKnowledge oh yeah, when bonito were biting last summer and my buddies and I made a bet. Whoever skunked had to change my buddies flat tire on his truck. I was jigging and guess who didn't skunk out? 🤣🤣🤣 my buddies were jealous cause I was the only one who hooked up on the bonito

Ali have you checked out some of Steve’s Carson’s catches on that little fathom 8? He had a 40lb yellow tail and a 60lb bluefin on it, insane stuff.

[@LocalKnowledge]

We have. Looking forward to trying more species this year.

[@tugboatftw537]

[@TheGripsession]

Picked up a SPJ set up to try out here in the Westcoast. Hope next month I'll give it a whirl on rock fish

[@LocalKnowledge]

Let us know how you do! We are geeking out on it.

[@ajabantao]

I don’t go over 30lb braid when fishing 300-500 ft. for rockfish. The heavier line kills the action of the jigs. I will also go down to 20 lb braid if the current is really strong. So that I can stay vertical.

[@LocalKnowledge]

Not a bad plan at all. Most of our rockfish rigs do double duty with pelagics so we fish a lot of 50 and 65#. The new penn slow pitch stuff is all 40# or 30#.

[@jimmymondragon2359]

I spj in sf on the rock/ling charter I use the jyg 400g for fishing 600ft of water and you never know what you’ll hook using spj jig they work I’ve caught jumbo rock big lings salmon to shark it’s a rush

So much fun!

[@zachrodgers7783]

[@GettingBentWithBo]

Do you fish them inkvaders on a dropper loop or is it heavy enough to tie straight to your leader?

[@LocalKnowledge]

Plenty heavy on their own.

[@soheilnassiri4354]

also i have a penn torque lever drag 2 speed reel size 25 what rod and line is good for that

[@LocalKnowledge]

Depends on what you want to fish for. Can't go wrong with a 7'6" Carnage II rod rated 30-80.

[@fishingelite824]

I don’t see a line guide on these reels. How would the line be guided back on evenly? New fisherman here.

[@LocalKnowledge]

Using your thumb!

[@805fishing4]

How deep are you fishing with those lures for rocking fishing, and how much do those lure weigh?

[@LocalKnowledge]

100' to 400'. Moist jigs are 130-300 gram. Best of luck.

[@keep1treal61]

Are these jigs heavy enough to sink? No sinker needed? Thanks.

[@LocalKnowledge]

Yep. They fish fast.

Hey im from norway and wanted to try some american lures/tackles do you know anyone good that ship to norway?

[@LocalKnowledge]

[@jonccook1]

well done on the video. what is the advantage of the narrow reels for slow pitch? is it that the line comes off the spool faster than on a wider reel?

[@LocalKnowledge]

The main reason is it's just easier to stack the line on a narrow spool and tends to get less loops than with a wider set up. Plus the smaller reel just feels better in hand. Thanks for watching!

[@jonccook1]

@@LocalKnowledge that makes sense. thank you for the reply.

[@otroflores91]

The new 8 size penn might replace my sxj. Ive been messing around with my penn SPJ spinning set up. Only caught a couple small halibut and out of season rockfish.

[@LocalKnowledge]

Just a heads up. The 8 is still a bit smaller than the SXJ but it is a bad ass little machine for sure.

[@jbl2270]

I'm trying to understand how to retrieve line on a non level wind reel while jigging please? I've tried slow jigging with a conventional reel and the braid piles up softly on the right hand side of the reel. I fish from a kayak. Any advice would be much appreciated.

[@johntuttle9544]

You gotta thumb it back and forth. After a bit you'll do it without thinking for the rest of your life basically.

[@jbl2270]

@@johntuttle9544 thanks I never knew about that

[@LocalKnowledge]

Just keep tension on the line with your left hand and guide it back and forth. DOesn't have to be perfect. Just don't let the line pile up on the reel.

I’m gonna go tuna fishing this year and I’m gonna buy a fathom 25 what jig stick would you recommend

[@LocalKnowledge]

PENN has some new offerings coming this year that we helped design. Keep an eye out for them!

[@mikemelina7395]

I think they say 1 gram for every foot of water depth. The deeper you plan to fish, the lighter you want to go with your line to decrease drag and the scope of your line in current. I'm just getting into this myself, so it's a learning curve. I bought a slow pitch rod in the 150-350 gram range and threw a Lexa 400HD I had on it because I'm not ready to commit on a dedicated slow pitch reel yet. I'm taking the 50# PP off and spooling it with 30# Maxcuatro, or maybe 20# MC. I should be able to get well over 400yds of line packed on there for East Coast tuna jigging.

[@tonito6197]

@@mikemelina7395 all I’m planning to do is fish for rockfish in erendida Ensenada

[@mikemelina7395]

@@tonito6197 So go lighter. You won't need the Fathom 25, that's for bigger stuff. The reels he was showing off Fathom 8-10-15 are more suitable. I wouldn't go any larger than the Fathom 15 for inshore. Stick with light pound test line 30# or less and look for a slow pitch rod in the lower range. You're buying the rod to match your jig size and the reel to match the fish you're fishing for. I've caught 65# fish on light spinning tackle. That Fathom 25 is for medium sized tuna and big yellowtail.

[@LocalKnowledge]

WE don't use much mono these days. We fish mostly Seaguar braid with a short shot of SeaGuar Fluorocarbon at about 6'. Braid never has to be replaced the fluoro provides a better presentation and abrasion resistance. If you still want to fish mono, Berkley Big Game is our old stand by.

do you use a leader on the setup or just straight braid to the jig??

Leader

[@LocalKnowledge]

We have done with and without. Can't say we have seen a real preference.

[@lukep1754]

Honestly I just go straight braid like 30-40 lb braid on a baitcaster and bringing it up and down relatively slowly.
