Hey guys, I'm looking for a light (150g) jigging rod and reel, for out in the gulf. I dont mind if its a spinner or OH, I like both. Any recommendations would be appreciated, not been fishing for a while but looking to get back into it this year. L.

Synit Mantis for mechanical jigging or a Synit Matanza for slow pitch Accurate BV300 for OH small Stella or Saltiga for ya spin. IMO can't go wrong  ------------- Tight lines PE Pete |

Micro jigs, slow pitch, or inchikus? I have a Smiths SLP with a calcutta 200d. Works great for softbaits, casting jigs and Inchikus, but not ideal for slow pitch in my experience. I have a Abu Velocity 2-5kg with a Stradic. Bought for trout but works for casting jigs as well, as long as the weight isn't more than 40g. I much prefer the overhead for vertical fishing. Spin for casting away from the boat. |

Wow I must have not been fishing for a while as I don't know half of the words in your setances haha! Think I'll need to take a few trips out and a few more trips to the fishing tackle shop and see what an inchikus is... I have an old Kojak 300 and jig master pe6 for mechanical jigging, mostly at the alderman but a little big for out in the bay. Thanks for the tips, time to check em out and decide how much I want to spend! |

Inchiku are two part lures with a squid like skirt attached to a weight. There are a lot of videos and articles on how to use them, even on this site. Best fished with a slow yoyo motion. You can also just leave them in a rod holder or even bait the hooks. Slow pitch look more like a conventional jig but the action and ideal rod are a bit different. I bought some slow pitch but never used them much.

| Jigstar just released new range of slowpitch rods. They look the goods and wont break the bank. If you looking at something bit more higher end for slowpitch / slow jig can always look at Evergreen Poseidon or Hots Stiletto Slow Style. |
