Very cool! Most of the slow pitch jigging content I see were using conventional reel. I have plenty of spinning but very limited on conventional. Maybe I can get in the fun just buying a decent rod. Keep up with the content
Really? Even some of the pros/masters like spinners. I think it's like a 50/50 split between spinner and conventional. They have some spinners capable of handling most any fish you would hook on a jig. I found that conventional reel was just too tedious for me to thumb on the drop. Thumbing the line was required to prevent the spool from bird nesting or letting line out so fast it would overlap/jump. None of those problems with a spinner. Yes a spinner + like a $150-200 jigging rod will suffice to get you into the jigging world. The jigging rod has that slim butt that allows you to tuck it or handle it easily.
What size Saragosa is in use at 4:00? Seems bigger than the 6000 the other gentleman is using. Trying to decide if I should get the gosa 20K for jigging. Cheers
Believe he was using an 8000, he later switched to a 6000 though after using both. 20K would only serve you well for like 100+lb fish. For 20-50lb fish I would suggest a 6K. 50-100lb I would do 14K, and 100+ I would go to a 20K like you suggest. Depends on what you plan on catching. Jigging is very repetitious though, and each extra ounce weighs on you... so only get what you need for what you will be targeting. Lightest you can get away with is the best.
I use a 6000 on a pe3 rod which works fine. I sometimes have to get the 10000 out with a 50lb rod for bigger stuff. Im currently setting up another setup with a 18000 gosa on a pe6 rod for the big dogs! Will be using 99lb braid.
@@kizzjd9578 I have since picked up two Gosas - the 10K and the 18K and I couldn't be happier. The 10K went overboard out on the open ocean and I dove off the boat for it and retrieved it in about 15' of water. Opened her up when I got home and not a single drop of moisture inside. Beast of a reel.
Okuma Hawaii Custom Slow pitch rod (Medium). PE 3-4, rated at 60-120g jigs (though I found it had good action with 200g jigs in the slow pitch variety).
Well, this guy is fishing with a modern slow-jigging rod, but is drilling (pumping up) the fish in the old fashion way - with his rod. The modern jigging rods are not intended to drill the fish in that way, but mainly to activate the lure - the drill should be handled by the reel. So keep the tip of the rod down - even in the water. It's much more easy and comfortable.
360ft is a lot of line on that size reel. Did you ever feel like you were at risk of getting spooled? I'm considering a 6k vs a 10k but I would rather keep the weight low with a 6k if I'm jigging all day.
Sorry I didn't see this comment until now. I have 300 yards (1000ft) of 30# power pro braid spooled onto the reel with a 15 foot fluorocarbon 40# leader. Never at risk of getting spooled. Worst thing that could happen is that you couldn't turn the fish and it would run you into the coral/bottom structure and break you off. That being said, I 100% would recommend the 6K. I'd say it could easily handle 40-50# class fish.
@@CrazyLocoFishing I echo your comments. I have a 10000 and just bought a 6000 because the 10000 is way too big for what I target (mostly). The 10000 is a beast of a reel that can be loaded up with anything from 50-80lb braid and will stop pretty much everything you throw at it but it's big and heavy and not ideal in the hand for long periods of time for something like jigging.
They sell these in Hawaii. Nice rod. If you are looking at a jigging rod for 1-50lb fish, I Would highly suggest a medium action. They seem flimsy, but they won't break.. Not only do they impart a better action on the slow pitch jigs, but they are more fun to fight a fish on.
Nice work! Those spinning rods were maxed out. Looks like a blast.
Thanks for the shout out brother. Live baiting I run stiff rods, but the jigging I go super light, ha!
Awesome video, great one to watch for slow pitch jigging with spinning reels, hoping to learn how to myself
From YT videos, it’s hard to see how TINY the 6000 really is. It’s like something I would use on my dedicated sabiki rod.
Rod speciation please and model?

Sir I need your advice between the saragosa 5000 xg and 6000 hg
I do a lot of searching and can’t find out the real difference
the 5000 and the 6000 weight the same the difference is that the 6000 has better line capacity and a lower gear ratio
go for the 6000 all day

What size gomexus knobs in saragosa 6000 sir ???
What is the max drag on this version ?
22lbs
Do amberjacks taste like tuna?
Do you have some old stuff Fishing rod sir😭😭 Can I have 1 🙁🙁
Can you drop me the link for the new handle you put on your Saragossa I like it
gomexusgroup.com/products/gomexus-power-knob-black-gold-45mm
Super easy install. You just unscrew the knob and put some fitment washers in. It's a direct fit with the existing shaft.
Nice one sir
