looks for easy targets to feed on. The easier the better. It’s the
instinct. Slow pitch jigging is not slow reeling. It is a continuous sequence of stop and go in each pitches. Slow Pitch Jigging basically 1 pitch a second, and that tempo is very slow compared to the previous style of jigging. 1In the moment you give a pitch of reeling, the rod gives in nicely and bends, giving the smooth upward acceleration to the jig. 1 pitch can be 1 turn around, 1/2 turn, or 1/4 turn. You can jerk up the rod a little to each pitch, or not. 2After a pitch, you stop and hold the rod. In that moment the rod springs back up, releasing the power in a whip action so that the jig flies off free to the side. The center-balanced jig slides to the side and moves in a horizontal position for an instant. This is the typical moment that the chasing fish comes up for a bite. 3You can hold this moment for a little longer, or not. When you hold, you can lower the rod, preparing for the next jerk, also giving the slack of the line to free-fall the jig for a moment. The specialized jigs make all kinds of automatic actions here. This is also a popular moment for a bite. 4Give another pitch. This might be a moment that you realize that a fish made a bite in your previous step, free-falling. If not, keep on the continuous pitches. You can change all kinds of different inputs to your rod, speed, power, length, rhythm, width, timing and the combinations of all kinds of motions. http://www.anglers-secrets.com/wp-/uploads/2012/11/seafloorcontrol02.jpg - You never know what triggers the fish to react to your jig, but
basically, the slow-pitch jigging has learned that the more horizontal
position the jig gets aligned, the more it attracts bites. Especially
when free-falling. Maybe because the falling is a sign of weakness,
either dying or running for a hide. We don’t know. But this is very
true. Get the jig horizontal. And Let it fall. This method has achieved tremendous results with all kids of fish. The groupers, codfish, rockfish and other bottom fish used to be not much the targets for the previous style of jigging. But now those delicious fish are our greatest customers with Slow Pitch Jigging. Tunas, amberjacks, yellowtails and other fast fish also like this slow moving and falling jigs, and a lot of times, better than hi-speed jigging, oddly enough. It all sounds good right? It catches more fish. Easy and fun. |
