HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT HOOKS FOR JIGGING

[@tamerabdelaziz.]

Great video and a lot helpful information for me Thanks Mr. Kit

[@TheFishingKit]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@243pete]

This is super helpful! thank you for the information and clearing up a lot of stuff that either had no idea about or had the wrong idea of. Just started jigging out on the West Coast of Canada (Halibut, lingcod, rockfish and ect) and over here we don't really carry these kinds of hooks except for the Owner Aki and other various hooks. I made some assist hooks with Gami 510's and those worked great for the fast jigging but now I see they aren't great for slow jigging and the Gami tarpon SC17 for slow jigging and those work really well.

Hi Pete, welcome aboard! Glad the video cleared things up :) I think you can check out your local VMC dealer as they have started to stock specific jigging hooks in the US, so it might be that Canada would have them too.

[@243pete]

@@TheFishingKit I'll talk with my local shop cause they carry VMC hooks as well, hopefully they can get some of the hooks you described in the video. Thanks again!

[@TheFishingKit]

@@243pete VMC 7117 and 7269 for slow jigging are quite good :)

Thanks, bro. This is really good video.

@@TheFishingKit I setting up for slow jig, I made the first mistake of buying reel first based on my friend suggestion (I realized he is not too much informed too, only I had only seen your videos ealier) and got OJ4000HG now having trouble getting a rod to match... I found evergreen poseidon LFJ710H-5 Long fall, would you know they match together?

[@TheFishingKit]

whoa...kind of too much there. I've only been using a OJ 1500 HG and recently upgraded to a SOM L50. What kind of depths are you fishing? and what is your target lure weight?...more importantly, where are you fishing? look for me on IG and DM me...we need to talk I think. Same username.

Great information master for us to learn from how to choose Jigging hooks....

[@TheFishingKit]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@michaelretchford9861]

Thanks mate for the info. Here in Queensland Australia my local tackle stores only have assembled assist hooks. Can you give me more information on the jigger light hooks you have in the video I can’t read the hook description. Thanks

[@TheFishingKit]

Hi Mike, I don't really know how to read Japanese, but what type of information are you looking for?

[@michaelretchford9861]

@@TheFishingKit something like the “Decoy pike AS -03” where do you get the hooks from? Can you “I “order them in bulk?

[@TheFishingKit]

Those only in "sport packs". best to ask the local dealer to get them in bulk if its possible. Some manufacturers sell bulk boxes in different countries, it depends on what the people in the territory you belong in decide really...

[@michaelretchford9861]

@@TheFishingKit thanks for the reply I will ask my local guy. Cheers mick

[@TheFishingKit]

Good luck, just try and talk to him and see if you can buy them in bulk boxes, at times, they are on offer for the dealers, just that they [dealers] don't order them.

[@arisespeleta9194]

Have you tried using Owner Gorilla Light hooks as assist hooks? They work in a pinch if you don't need larger than 4/0

[@TheFishingKit]

Any thin hook will work just as long as they are thin and strong enough for slow jigging - thicker hooks (but not too thick) will work for fast jigging.

My favorite color koika

Easy to use! :)

Hi.. What means PE 2 ..PE 3..PE 4 What is the pounds of the line at PE 2 PE 3 & PE 3 line ?

[@TheFishingKit]

It is the Japanese standard sizing of spooled lines, not just fishing line. (Guo standard) it is a measure of DIAMETER, not breaking strain. The breaking strain depends on how the line is made, for example, one manufacturer's PE 2 would break at 20lb, while another company's PE 2 would break at 40LB.

[@philjohnrayvergara7591]

Hi Kit, I'm a big fan of your videos. Just wondering, which single hooks should be applicable for trolling lures?

[@TheFishingKit]

Thanks! depends on what trolling lure you are talking about. There are trolling plugs like Rapala, Skirts like Pakula and Black Bart etc. There's a lot out there, you need to be more specific.

[@philjohnrayvergara7591]

@@TheFishingKit I don't know exactly which type is it, but those plastic lures that are really cheap from China, like around 1usd each.. Size I gues its 12g and 9inches. We used to catch barracuda and some other kind of fish (1 to 4kg). And lately, I am upset I'm having strikes but it could get off easily, also treble hooks got snapped broke. Of course because it's cheap 😁 Can u help me out which single hooks should be installed? Are circle hooks good for this?

[@TheFishingKit]

@@philjohnrayvergara7591 seems like you are talking about plugs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHbEZKOImamWbMk hope this helps.

[@philjohnrayvergara7591]

@@TheFishingKit yay. Yes this helps, now I know that it should be "in-line hooks" for single hooks in lure. To be more specific..

I mostly fish with bucktail when it is time jigging. I never use metal jig before beside the other type attach with soft-plastic. I want to try a metal jig where I can cast from shore and jig. I will be heading to SouthEast Asia, the target species with be Red Snappers and Barramundi. Can you suggest what of metal jig I should be purchase? If possible, send the link as well. Very new to micro jigging here.

[@TheFishingKit]

if you are going to south east asia, there are a lot of jig makers there. Jigparra and Koika are two of my standards.

[@vsonic86]

@@TheFishingKit is there a particular type for jig para and the other one? Because they seem to have many jig to choose from. Not sure who one is a good start

[@TheFishingKit]

@@vsonic86 the wide jigpara micro...sorry I was not too clear. start with 10-15g

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi there Kit, this mite sound stupid, but do you think circle hooks will work on a slow jig. Thanks Brother 👍😊

[@TheFishingKit]

I've actually used them years ago. I caught fish on them too, they work, but are not as effective. they will hook the fish in the mouth, no problem, but remember for slow jigs, you want the other hook/hooks to snag the fish. I used them on fast jigs with some success as mentioned above, but just not as effective.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

@@TheFishingKit thanks I see what you mean 👍

[@TheFishingKit]

Try it out Billy. But try it out in a place with a lot of strikes and see, they actually work, just to see. :)

[@vsonic86]

Oh god I’m super bad for this. I had watch your video about jig para jig. I bought the jig para live bait one in 30g and 60g, looks like the hook seem weak because the fish I will be using for is in 5kg-25kg. What hook size should I buy for assist hook? I saw they have 1/0-5/0. Not sure which one is good? And if you use a bigger hooks, will it kill the action of the jig?

[@TheFishingKit]

the shop can recommend which assist hooks to use most times. bigger hooks, bigger drag. so it will somewhat have an effect but it only takes that small amount on days when the fish are weird.
