I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom.

From Guam USA, Hawaii here. We are so fortunate to live so close to Asia that slow pitch jigging is almost the norm here. Happy to see it’s catching on in the mainland. It’s not about loading up a cooler of the same fish, it’s about what am I gonna catch today with this brilliant piece of metal and extremely thin braid.
Oh, i just finished the seminar and i cannot believe i ‘ve been listening to it for the past 2hrs. Very informative and interesting. Thanks for sharing the useful information with us

Great learning experience for this saltwater rookie. Took your advice and first time out caught 3 different species on same 200g jig. Got hit just about every time it hit the bottom. Addictive. You shortened my learning curve a ton. Thank you for these excellent seminars Mike.
MrJeff0063 - If you want to learn more about Slow Pitch Jigging techniques look up "TheFIshingKit" channel on UA-cam. He does educational fishing content to help others learn and improved their fishing (slow pitch jigging) skills etc. One other thing... HIGH QUALITY slow pitch jigging rods and reels combo can be had for less than 200 bucks from Asia, but not from the states. However, information are suppressed so American don't know about it. Just an FYI... Hope this information helps!
Excellent tutorial, like all of your videos! I do a lot of slow-pitch jigging lately & lost many fish & expensive lures to our toothy predators, such as king mackerel, barracuda, etc., because of the braided hook ties. The fix, I switched out all of my braided hook connections to wire connections, and also added a six to eight inch wire leader to my lure/fluorocarbon connection. It worked, as you can see for yourself by clicking on my Marlin, blue icon to the left ...
It’s at 45 now. Probably 20 from people who’ve never done this before and 25 from people who’ve never fished in this area lol. All slow pitch masters of course
@Discov110 you don't need a 1500 dollar rig, but it is fun to use one, you can use a spinning set up for under 500 that will work, but if you can spend 1500 I don't think you'll regret it, just don't tell the wife 😮. Braid let's you put more line on a spinning real, you just got to have enough line to reach 400'-800' down. The spinning reals seem to have better drags, the conventional reels are more like a winch....FishOn.....jimi
Wow, not only so knowledgeable but so well with a clear and interesting way of speaking. It's a joy to hear you speak. Thank you, I always get a lot from watching you.

Dear Captain, thank you for this seminar with so much good information but with some points that I disagree with. For example, I do not agree that any fishing rod costing less than $ 500 is bad. There are many rods on the market for lower values that make a great alternative to top brands and models. Another point where I completely disagree with you is when you say that in SPJ the jig is not animated with the rod but only with the reel. I think you should review your options because in any type of SPJ action (Slow Pitch, High Pitch or Long Fall) you can use the lifting movement as the reel to load the rod, and in the last two you must do so. Best Regards
01:42:37 you can also thread the topside line with a 5 pound weight and let it slide down the line to dislodge the jig from the wreck....or lose both the jig and the weight :/
Good information but, says you don't need the expensive jiggs and what not then if you don't have a $1500 hundred dollar setup it's junk. I'm not a pro but I've been fishing all my life and have never had a setup over $500. Would it be nice to afford the really really nice stuff, sure but you don't need it 😊.
So good tutorial. I’m wondering if in USA with the Slow Pitch Jigging they arrived also Inchiku and Tai Kabura. In Italy are the way of fishing from the boat since years. I found Inchiku e kab very easy, they work on the bottom and i saw those techniques worked with the rods in the road stand with a fisherman fishing with multiple rods.

if its under 500 dollars its garbage is one of the most ignorant, elitist and just plain wrong statements I have ever heard in regards to fishing, if you want to spend 1200 dollars plus on your gear that's entirely up to you and im not bashing anyone for that, but on any given day you could easily be out fished by someone on a sub 500 dollar set up while you blank.
U can buy and order these rods from overseas. Japan and Maylasia makes badass unbelievable rods. Waay better than any mass produced brands to date that makes slow pitch
Ocea Jigger rods or you can use shimano trevala butterfly rods in the 80# line class with medium fast. I’ve got one and it works nicely For spj and only $180.
Thanks for the presentation. Just purchased a Gooffish jigging rod, A Gomexus jigging reel, #8PE line and some assist hooks for the Jiggs I have had for a year!!
Interesting and very educational video one question how far do you bring the jig up from the bottom when cranking the reel before you release the jig back down
Thanks Mike ... your seminars are very informative ... I don't know of any that even come close to what you teach ... I'll look forward to trying them this weekend in Key West - keep up the great work you do
Start with $550 combo, after 1 trip I caught so many different species, I end up spending $900 for 2 rod (daiwa jigging and shimano ocea jigger limited) and $1800 for 2 Stella 6k pg and 8k pg. it’s really fun, no longer using dead bait.
This is the video I send to friends that ask me about slow pitch jigging. Great presentation. Thanks. (By the way, slow pitch jigging works great in Alaska, too!)
Lots of great info here. Although it’s amazing how SPJ rod technology has improved since this video came out. Can’t speak for Chaos rods, but so many manufacturers now make super strong SPJ rods that you don’t have to be so delicate with anymore.

rod builder here, this video is a great instructional! I will say though "spines on rods are a myth they are all made from material rolled on to a mandrel, there is a natural point that the rod "snaps" to which is what people call the spine but you will not break the rod by bending left or right, you will if you high stick it or grab the tip and bend a short section. fortunately id does not happen often even when your running a charter outfit where high sticks happen all the time.
You can and many do. I like the power of a conventional rod though and have gone to spiral wrapped guides to get the benefit of both worlds. I’m fairly new to slow pitch jigging but I’m hooked solid…
Yes but much more effective with conventional, plus much more leverage and line capacity. Please join my new streaming channel with 300+ instructional videos at www.FSFTV.com. Sign up today and receive a free trolling lure. - Capt Mike
He's not using braid to the jig but I have decided the best knot is the one you tie perfectly each time. I like uni knots too but if someone is super confident in an improved clinch knot then that works too. The difference in strength is so minute it comes down to what you have confidence in tying. At least that's what I think.
Uni knot is great but very hard to cinch correctly with line over 40lbs. matter fact at 60lbs it's almost impossible to cinch and finish correctly. if you watch many of the videos online they all mentioned the same problem. also, if there is huge difference in diameter between both line it becomes an issue. especially with braid to mono/fluro.
Ivw watched this probably 20 times now to make sure I've learned as much as I can. And I've got my saltiga and a nomad pe3 rod. With 15lb j braid. In 1 to 2 months ill be able to use it
Great video. Learned alot. Kind of confused though around 1:15 though. You are saying you are imparting action on the rod itself only by turning the reel handle and not actively jigging the rod itself? I know this isnt vertical speed jigging but you still need to move the rod AND crank the reel handle in combination, albiet much slower and subtle than speed jigging. Even all the Benny Ortiz videos show jigging the rod with and without retrieving line. Can you elaborate?
So tru, yesterday is my first day doing slow jigging. Never done jigging at all in my life, I alway use dead bate to bottom fishing, but after yesterday no more dead bate, all slow jigging from now on.
You just gotta use a 3-4 power rod. 40# braid 80# leader and 25 lbs of drag. And don’t fish super close to wreck and you can pull ajs off wrecks slow pitching. I call it the wreck rod. Bigger line don’t work past about 300’ though no matter how heavy the jig and it better have an aluminum reel seat....
You can perfectly capable slow pitch set ups for less than $500. You said yourself you are mainly targeting bottom fish. Don’t need a slow pitch set up to catch that hammer head...
You dont have any trouble winching fish up with your high gear ratio? Ive noticed in my research most reels are 5 or 6 to 1. In my personal experience high gear ratios are more tiring.
@@DanhNguyenster64 Best to have lowest gear ratio reel with highest line pickup... he mentions high gear and what he should be mentioning is line pickup. 30 inches per turn at a minimum... Preferably closer to 40.
Do they make acid wrapped rods for left and right hand retrieve reels? If it is to prevents the rod from twisting when fighting on a right hand retrieve would that make it really twist under a left hand retrieve reel?
You just convinced me about the old way of fishing to the new way..... I loved this seminar , have watched it several times and have taken notes. I just ordered a new rod from Florida Sportsman,jigs, and a new diawa reel. Thanks for you knowledge . I can wait to come to Florida for the winter, I WILL follow you from here on.. ....Thank you!!
Let’s not play the “if you didn’t pay x for your outfit it’s not x” game. There are plenty of rigs that are inexpensive that get people into our sport. Tight lines and big fish everyone.
Quick question. Can I use a lighter jig than the SPJR is rated for? My TRG2 is rated for 150-400g. I probably won't be fishing in more than 200ft so 100-150g should be good. Less than 100ft.?

This line is excellent for all jigging needs. The colors change every 10 meters so if you're in Murica, you might need to calculate the depth in feet but with slow pitch, you're going to the bottom each time so not really needed. Good for knowing how far off the bottom you are and can also be used when vertical jigging in situations where you need to know how deep you are without the bottom being in reach. www.1stopfishing.com/shop/shimano-ocea-ex8-pe-line/ It's what I use on all my slow pitch and vertical jigging rods and have for the last 4 years or so. Very smooth, very strong, great knots. Until something better comes along, I don't have a need to change. Get some PE spray to condition / protect it, rinse properly and store out of UV and it will last quite a while. I've got 3+ years on a few of my rods and haven't had a need to re-spool yet.
Nice vid but i call bs on saying its not a quality setup unless its 1200 to 1500 dollars shimano makes great setup rod and reel under 600 bucks ocea jigger 300 bucks and grappler slow pitch rod 275 bucks. Its a great setup
Stuff has definitely been getting cheaper. That reel is 340$ and only good for flat bottom though with 15-16 lbs of drag I think. Gotta crank it all the way down for sure
@@MrT13 not necessarily true tho. That reel has many different uses outside the one mentioned. The point is you can find great gear at lower price points.
@@MrT13 sure, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use these for say pier fishing. Sure the rods may be hyper specific but the reels have been around for a while.
@@gowrestle160 black hole cape code. He didn't really dive into it but he said it very quickly right before talking about how parabolic the rod is and the acid wrap.

You can and many do. I like the power of a conventional rod though and have gone to spiral wrapped guides to get the benefit of both worlds. I’m fairly new to slow pitch jigging but I’m hooked solid…
Yes but much more effective with conventional, plus much more leverage and line capacity. Please join my new streaming channel with 300+ instructional videos at www.FSFTV.com. Sign up today and receive a free trolling lure. - Capt Mike
How do i know if the jig is a slow pitch jig ?
the manufacturer will state that is a slow pitch, nomad design, shimano and many other make them
slow pitch jigs have to different sides. that way the jig flutters. fast jigs have the exact same sides..identical.
I think the uni knot is better especially for braid.
He's not using braid to the jig but I have decided the best knot is the one you tie perfectly each time. I like uni knots too but if someone is super confident in an improved clinch knot then that works too. The difference in strength is so minute it comes down to what you have confidence in tying. At least that's what I think.
Uni knot is great but very hard to cinch correctly with line over 40lbs. matter fact at 60lbs it's almost impossible to cinch and finish correctly. if you watch many of the videos online they all mentioned the same problem. also, if there is huge difference in diameter between both line it becomes an issue. especially with braid to mono/fluro.
Ivw watched this probably 20 times now to make sure I've learned as much as I can. And I've got my saltiga and a nomad pe3 rod. With 15lb j braid. In 1 to 2 months ill be able to use it
Great video. Learned alot. Kind of confused though around 1:15 though. You are saying you are imparting action on the rod itself only by turning the reel handle and not actively jigging the rod itself? I know this isnt vertical speed jigging but you still need to move the rod AND crank the reel handle in combination, albiet much slower and subtle than speed jigging. Even all the Benny Ortiz videos show jigging the rod with and without retrieving line. Can you elaborate?
So tru, yesterday is my first day doing slow jigging. Never done jigging at all in my life, I alway use dead bate to bottom fishing, but after yesterday no more dead bate, all slow jigging from now on.
Has anyone ever done this over a wreck or heavy structure ? I can’t see it working especially for big AJs.
a 25-50lb slow pitch rod can handle fish up around the 100 lb mark
You just gotta use a 3-4 power rod. 40# braid 80# leader and 25 lbs of drag. And don’t fish super close to wreck and you can pull ajs off wrecks slow pitching. I call it the wreck rod. Bigger line don’t work past about 300’ though no matter how heavy the jig and it better have an aluminum reel seat....
Where can I find the PE line?
You can perfectly capable slow pitch set ups for less than $500. You said yourself you are mainly targeting bottom fish. Don’t need a slow pitch set up to catch that hammer head...
Ain't no way in HELL I'm spending over $600 on a slow pitch outfit, let alone $1,200+.
You made things easy.
love to you from Bangladeshi anglers.

Tell that kid to sit down!
You dont have any trouble winching fish up with your high gear ratio? Ive noticed in my research most reels are 5 or 6 to 1. In my personal experience high gear ratios are more tiring.
I went with a tranx 401 low speed with a jigging world power handle matched to a phenix titan slow pitch jigging rod.
@@DanhNguyenster64 Best to have lowest gear ratio reel with highest line pickup... he mentions high gear and what he should be mentioning is line pickup. 30 inches per turn at a minimum... Preferably closer to 40.
Do they make acid wrapped rods for left and right hand retrieve reels? If it is to prevents the rod from twisting when fighting on a right hand retrieve would that make it really twist under a left hand retrieve reel?
I've learned alot from your seminar sir, thank you for sharing.
Who was the guy on the boat 10 feet away from you that you saw jigging and smoked you Mike?
UK, Canada harshest lockdowns. What else do they have in common?
Awesome! Great talk
You just convinced me about the old way of fishing to the new way..... I loved this seminar , have watched it several times and have taken notes.
I just ordered a new rod from Florida Sportsman,jigs, and a new diawa reel. Thanks for you knowledge . I can wait to come to Florida for the winter, I WILL follow you from here on.. ....Thank you!!
Agreed in full.... why die with all the money in the bank.
Let’s not play the “if you didn’t pay x for your outfit it’s not x” game. There are plenty of rigs that are inexpensive that get people into our sport. Tight lines and big fish everyone.
I still haven’t been able to find the diamond braid he is using. Anyone got a lead?
Where can I buy the x9 line at?
Can you slow pitch jigging with the spinning reel?
You can but its best prwcticed with a conventional reel
Quick question. Can I use a lighter jig than the SPJR is rated for? My TRG2 is rated for 150-400g. I probably won't be fishing in more than 200ft so 100-150g should be good. Less than 100ft.?
You use which ever size jig that can get you down to the bottom vertically as much as possible. Lighter jigs. Shallower water.
👍💪
I size leader line do you use, 50lbs?
You want to be tied direct to braid. Poly lines stretch too much for proper action. You want zero stretch.

Enjoyed your videos and looked at the link for Rods, but you commented the one you showed in the seminar was custom, so how would I go about getting that specific rod? The link shows a number of rods, I'm not sure which one you were holding, or what was done to customize it. Thanks!

can I jig shallow water near a reef? around 50 feet deep… Which rod and jigg weight should I use?
You can, but I have found slow pitch jigging to be far more effective in deeper water. Where are you fishing, what area? Also, please join my streaming channel at www.FSFTV.com.

Thank you
Crazy question can you slow pitch for fresh water fish that feed on bait fish like bass walleye pike musky etc
Ya use a flutter spoon
You never mention the weight rating of the rods for an all around rod would you recommend 10-30 or 20-40?
Most slow pitch rods are rated in grams (i.e. 160-230g) and made specifically for slow pitch jigging.
Thanks for this amazing tutorial. I am looking forward to implementing these techniques as soon as possible. Tight lines!
Thanks for watching.
Where can I purchase the line. Can not find anywhere. Also can’t find rods on Chaos site thanks.
This line is excellent for all jigging needs. The colors change every 10 meters so if you're in Murica, you might need to calculate the depth in feet but with slow pitch, you're going to the bottom each time so not really needed. Good for knowing how far off the bottom you are and can also be used when vertical jigging in situations where you need to know how deep you are without the bottom being in reach. www.1stopfishing.com/shop/shimano-ocea-ex8-pe-line/ It's what I use on all my slow pitch and vertical jigging rods and have for the last 4 years or so. Very smooth, very strong, great knots. Until something better comes along, I don't have a need to change. Get some PE spray to condition / protect it, rinse properly and store out of UV and it will last quite a while. I've got 3+ years on a few of my rods and haven't had a need to re-spool yet.

Don’t buy chaos rods. They have no idea what slow pitch is. Just another brand trying to get on the bandwagon. Get a genuine Japanese slow pitch rod
peterk814 Evergreen Poseidon rods are very popular in Japan and I have several that are good. Lots of great Japanese models here as well.
peterk814 explain why they don’t know how to build a slow pitch rods.
Mantab, sayang gear slow pitch gk ada yg murah..
Was probably an Asian guy u talkin bout😃
Is he referring to momoi diamond braid?
Nice vid but i call bs on saying its not a quality setup unless its 1200 to 1500 dollars shimano makes great setup rod and reel under 600 bucks ocea jigger 300 bucks and grappler slow pitch rod 275 bucks. Its a great setup
Stuff has definitely been getting cheaper. That reel is 340$ and only good for flat bottom though with 15-16 lbs of drag I think. Gotta crank it all the way down for sure
@@MrT13 not necessarily true tho. That reel has many different uses outside the one mentioned. The point is you can find great gear at lower price points.
@@samh4232 ok. Well I don’t own any ocea reels so I agree? More of a accurate/black hole kinda guy myself…
@@MrT13 sure, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use these for say pier fishing. Sure the rods may be hyper specific but the reels have been around for a while.
@@samh4232 yea lot of guys use them for kite rods.
sounds like captian philipines
I love this guy and his show captain carlos including
what bran Slow Pitch jig rod and reel combo sir
He said the reel is a daiwa saltiga 30 wide and he didn't say what the rod was
@@gowrestle160 black hole cape code. He didn't really dive into it but he said it very quickly right before talking about how parabolic the rod is and the acid wrap.
Where did I miss the part where he actually thoroughly describes and demonstrates the technique to use.
