Hi i gotta say sir you have a subscriber here and thumbs up. I had no idea about the reversed hooks and snagging and the difference between slow and fast jigs. Thankyou very much for your knowledge. West Australia
Great video. Very informative. I’ve been fishing most of my life. I’m 55. Usually fish out of San Diego California and the northern sea of Cortez in Baja Mexico mostly for Pelagic’s. Just barley getting into slow and fast jigging. It’s a whole different world of specialized lures and gear. Gonna subscribe and follow your channel
Glad I could help - just published another video about jigging reels - might want to check that out as Theres so e really good info on jigs there as well :)
Hi! Thanks for the comment - I created this channel specifically for people that are starting out and since there's a lot of questions left unanswered, I just thought of making videos that explained them clearly. There's a lot more videos of this type in the channel, so check them out!
VERY helpful. I want to get into slow jigging and was completely confused about how the technique and its lures differ from those of fast jigging, which I can't handle physically. Given what you said about jig symmetry, where woulld you put the traditional diamond jig? These lures are symmetrical, but here in New England, USA, they're jigged slowly, right on or just off the bottom.
Hi Chris, glad what I'm doing is helpful. On diamond jigs - It's kind of like the California you can't really classify them as the same as these types of jigs. I guess its the difference between the Western and Asian style.
depends on where you are, and the size of the fish you fish for...typically, the lowers I go is around 7g and I use up to 60g where I'm at. You can go up to 150 in some areas. As far as which one, my favorites are the koika and slow rocker for land based fishing.
Loving your channel. New subscriber! Good to see you use rolling swivels instead of ball bearing swivels. Seems to be a lot of content saying ball bearing only without any real explanation as to why. Keen for your thoughts
awsome video, short simple so that everyone undersatnd it, thank you for taking the time to make the video , it's true some tackle shops just wanna sell and set you up with wtaever.👍👍
What is the meaning of UV stickers on japanese jigs? Does it mean that uv reflective or the surface finish is more long lasting because clear uv coated finish?
no such thing. pick a color you like...chances are you will end up using it more than the other colors. As far as statistics are concerned, white is the color that has caught the most fish.
if you look at the statistics of records and of the lure colors (including flies) that caught them, you will see white as a color, is leading by a long shot. @@moses910
This is actually not an easy subject to tackle. Because this depends on the width and length of your jig. There are jigs that are long and wide, and there are also those that are long and slim; then short jigs, then the reverse, so on and so fourth. This is where production/ready made assist hooks fail. I usually size the hook with the width of the body, pit should be as wide or a little bit wider than where the hooks position to on the body. This depends of course on the shape of the hook.
Hi, thanks for asking! Jig weights help you go down to the bottom faster - so a heavier jig can get you down deep faster, or go down deep in swift currents. Using a light jig in deep water with no current will take a long time to get to the bottom, or in swift currents, will not get you to the bottom at all!
@@sjog1952 wow...quite a good question. Thanks for asking. The usual measurement is not g/ft it's actually g/m and it is roughly 10g/m. It's not exact and is a rough guide to use when choosing the first jig weight you could potentially use for a given situation. Since there are a few factors that also affect it, like diameter of line, length and diameter of the leader which creates drag and additional friction as the jig falls down this is aside from Current and or drift speed - these jigs are meant to be fished or work their best when totally or almost vertical. so a 100g fast jig will drop slower on 40kg line with a long thick leader than it would with 25kg line with a shorter thinner leader. At times, the difference of 20-30g would let you reach down faster or in the case of fast drifts, would let you reach the bottom. Hopes this brings some light to your question. Thanks again for asking.
@@TheFishingKit thanks for the info. Just figuring this technique out for fast moving current in New England waters. Symmetrical and non-symmetrical = fast-slow was news to me
@@sjog1952 I'd be glad to help explain this further if you have some sort of chat software. if you can find me on facebook or something, send me a friend request and a message, I can discuss this with you in depth :) Would be happy to help you navigate this.
Hey bro , what or when the situations to use fast or slow jigging lure ? Isn't base on current? Or deep sea? I am from Singapore, deepest here 30 meters.
current and also fish activity - they will bite more on slow jigging when they are less active. I usually start with fast jigging, then go to slow when the bite stops.
Yes you can, but it depends on the size. There are small slow jigs, like the Storm Gomoku Koika in 15 and 20g that are excellent for shore jigging. I'll make a video on this soon! :)
No problem 👍 I use a lot of brands, but if you want some recommendations, find me on IG or FB and we can chat so you can get the right ones...if they are available in your area.
Which jig slides side to side as it falls down the water columns? I want the one that slides side to side erratically as it falls down the water columns, not the one that goes straight down real fast. So which jig do you recommend if I want the one that slides as much as possible and hangs in the water columns for a white before it hits the bottom? I appreciate it very much if you could give me a list of them or even link a few of them here for me! Thanks in advance if you could help me!
for fast jigs, you want a long center balanced jig - these are called "sliding jigs" or "Sliders". Slow jigs are used with a different system - different rod, different reels and thinner line, different hooks etc. all slow jigs are designed to flutter and there are also slow jigs that slide.
@@TheFishingKit Thanks for the response, I appreciate it. Could you put a link or two of the slow jigs that slide? I want to buy a few and give them a try.
@@grandwonder5858 Where are you located? might be that you would have to order from Japan or Asia. there's actually quite a lot, Major craft has the jigpara long slow, deepliner has several models that slide as well. then the long list of clones. but any slow jig that's long and center balanced can be made to slide.
Ed, That's very smart question. Thanks for asking this because I am pretty sure people in California would be thinking about this. Although those are called jigs, and in the minds of a lot of people, old jigs, those are actually in a different classification. Personally, I would call them...well, what a lot of people would call them - Irons. The first Irons were light, and were cast and used on the surface, which gave them their nickname - Surface Irons, from there, they developed the heavier ones like the 6x Jrs...which brought about another name...yoyo jigs...because of how they were used. They are also made to be used with Mono, which until this day...people are still using. Vertical jigs actually aren't a new thing - and it was the Scandinavians that first used them for fish like Cod, more than 100 years ago. Anyway, I might have missed a thing or two, but in a nutshell...that's about it. Again, Thanks for asking this question, it certainly needs a spot in the video, but I totally forgot to mention this. I have an Accuratized jigmaster for irons paired with a seeker deckhand special and have been using it here in the UAE - it catches, but I am fast running out of irons. Would have to order a batch soon. hahahahahah!!!
@@otroflores91 I lost them over the years for a few reasons, snags being one of them since I tried casting them off rocks, can get more, just that the jigs haven't really changed much and although effective, there are readily available jigs that can be easily bought here (UAE).
I think, it would be much better for you to put a link in your video to this one as is standard here in youtube. If you do what you want, you will get a copyright strike.

So these special jigs that can be used as slow and fast jiggin, are used on a moderate action jigging rod?
They can be used on either a fast jigging rod or a slow jigging rod.
Solid information.
Glad you think so!
right pare, how do you fast jig with the long 250g jig???
If you have the right rod and reel - there should be no difference on how you jig with lighter ones.

What’s the name of the orange jig in your video ?

Hi. For slow jigs, the hooks should be on the flat side or the heavier side?
Hi Zam, it should be on the flat side.
Do u need swivels on jigs?
You can, depends on what you want your jig to do. :)
Helpful video thanks .
Thanks Mhmet. Subscribe if you like, more helpful videos in the channel!
What would you say is the best way to match the hook size to a particular jig, when jigging from the surf? Thanks!

Which better for shorejig?
Its the one you have tied on your line. No jig will catch fish on their own, in your box.
Hello i cant understand the difference in weight and what they help with
Hi, thanks for asking! Jig weights help you go down to the bottom faster - so a heavier jig can get you down deep faster, or go down deep in swift currents. Using a light jig in deep water with no current will take a long time to get to the bottom, or in swift currents, will not get you to the bottom at all!
