The Slow Jig is the latest method in catching bottom species and a particularly effective technique during the cold water season when fish are not so active. Slow jigging looks like it's the next sensation in fishing.

Key points for Slow Jigging

• The slow jig lends itself well to bottom fishing with light tackle. Unlike long jigging techniques that demand quick up and down motion, the slow jig technique is a significantly more relaxed and easy to master up/down motion a few feet offthe bottom. the technique is simple.
  a) Freespool to the bottom
  b) Start winding slowly through the water column where the fish are.
  c) At the top of the water colum range where the fish are (using your sounder) drop the jig again and repeat the process. When you feel a bite, try not to strike the fish, rather keep winding slowly until the fish hooks itself. The fish is alrady interested in the Slow Jig so will chase and eat it eventually. The Braid Assist hooks found with most slow jigs will do the job for you.
• Aerodynamic head design lets your Slow Jig sink quickly to the bottom and it also stabilises the jig when it is retrieved.
• Most slow jigs have a dual eyelet design. The bottom eyelet to be used to attach an extra sinker when the current is strong.
• Luminous eyes and/or bodies make the jigs more visible in deeper water so slow jigs are a very good option for deeper water 
• Silicon skirts and trailers wobble and vibrate when the jig is moved enticing a strike. Slow jigs often work when often other baits and methods don't.. Good idea to buy a few spare skirts when you're stocking up as they do get ripped and chewed on a hot bite.
