[@Star_of_the_new_moon]

Great info really benefited from Benny

[@fadijandali2717]

Thanks Ortiz for the great and informative talk with still learning A lot from you
I just have 2 quick questions:
1- What is the ideal weight of a metal jig in the Red Sea for a depth of around 100-150 meters?
2- What do you recommend for the depth of 100-150 meters targeting groupers fish in rocks and corals in the bottom a single or double hooks and in the front or both sides of the jig?
Thanks and waiting for your replay soon

00:21 Crystal River, you don't say? Wow, went to HS in CR (Go Pirates). Man 50 miles off shore there and you're still only in 50' of water, crazy shallow. That being said loved the flats for reds and specs. Hopefully Skidmores and Jone's Restaurant are still there :)

Interesting that Benny says you can only SPJ with conventional reels/rods. Yet, several companies market spinning SPJ specific rods.

[@jamestillman3150]

I was thinking the same thing. I happen to hate conventional reels but I love jigging.

[@williamlawrence5040]

what are the reels hes using here?

[@jayzhou104]

Ocea jigger

What rod does Mr Benny mention at 8:00?

[@bennyortiz2770]

Shimano Game Type Slow J

Give me someone good for estuary fishing!. 3-4m deep.
Not everyone can get to the ocean.

[@bido8176]

There are plenty of ultra light and light SPJ rods on the market. Just find one that matches the weight of the jig you plan to fish. Although SPJ in 10 feet of water may not really be the right technique as you need some depth to pitch the jig properly and let it fall.

Unfortunately, game and wildlife will get smart to this 18:40 and consider it snagging instead of what they consider "line and hook" fishing. Especially with all the people on UA-cam bragging about how they foul hook fish all the time with this.
That was one of the original intentions of the Japanese inventor, to not give a fish who comes close to the jig any chance.
At the very least, they will limit how many hooks you can put on the jig.

[@jamestillman3150]

I don’t see why. What’s wrong with increasing the possibility of hooking a fish? Do they not want people to be successful? I guess they don’t want fish getting hurt? Seems like banning hooks altogether would be the goal there. Just like banning assault rifles is on the road to banning all guns.
