Looks like this will be the next big thing, Any one had a go at this style of jigging yet. 
Thinking it will be great for older guys that have shoulder injuries.

Only issue I have had using similar jigs on Kings Dave is the bloody jigs flutter all over the ocean on the drop and create massive tangles if fishing in a boat with 3 other anglers.

But they workWink

Had a go with the daiwa knuckle jigs which I think a similar and yep boulder is right the bloody things go everywhere include ing under the boat and into your mates line , easy solution take turns dropping .
Snapper like them couldn't entice a bite from a king although had good follows .

They are magic. 3 dozen snapper in one day off one 40g daiwa knuckle. And picked up other fish on inchiku and softbait but the daiwa knuckle was by far the most effective
Keen to try the bigger ones of different designs...testing this weekend

I've got the red and white lumo stripe daiwa ones in 45g and 300g and they sure do glow when you turn the lights off , i will give the 300 a go on puka at some stage I reckon it will be deadly with. A long assist on it , if the pikas can get to it before the johnny s and schnapps .
Gettin hooked on this slow jig thingy .

Keep an eye out, as there should be some very affordable slow pitch pitch lures coming soon.

I have been using the Blue Blue Sea Rides to good effect, they are a really wicked jig to use and very versatile.

Also want to try the HOT's Slow Conker out, must be time for another order! Will get in some larger Sea Rides next time too...

they work alright and for old buggers like me it takes a lot less effort to get a whole lot of action... We used them on some lighter jigging rods this past weekend and had the lions share of fish verses those using our normal mechanical jigs....

Larger Searides dont come with hook setup, they are a true slow pitch jig and yes they are good on kingfish especially in shallow water

Looks like longer softer action rods are needed, Damn more spend.
The last couple of years up Whiti, the kings have been really shy on normal jigs, hopefully something new may entice the bite.
