slow pitch

Post by K R lip »

OK so I started looking into vert jigging and came across something that's called slow pitch jigging aka slow pitch jerk. I could not find much info most of it was in Japanese it looks like speed jigging but slowed down and more jig action. Jigs are short and fat and rod is different then speed jigging does anybody do slow pitch and or have any info on it I can find the rods and jigs on fleebay but not in any us seller. I'm not looking to buy anything. Just looking for info and opinion on it. It looks less stressing on body.

It can be very effective done properly. I personally prefer high speed jigging but I have seen people catch different species on the slow pitch like Cobia and Muttons. Its almost the same concept just different action with the jigs and not as strenuous.

Slow pitch literally just started in the US in the last year. Not much difference than the Lucanus style of fishing.
Dreaming the dream that one day I can be as good as some of the boatless pros and catch some 12 inch mangrove snapper.

Slow jigging is a lot more productive than speed jigging. My buddy made a believer out of me with slow jigs and madai jigs.

Started trying something somewhat similar, the flat fall jig. My shoulders cannot hold up to speed jigging for long.

Pretty much... It's essentially different styles of flutter jigs.

Most people go after bottom fish with this style, and the "slow pitch" jigs seem to run 30-40 bucks a pop with out assist hooks. My pockets just aren't deep enough to donate that to the local wrecks and reefs. Hell, I hate losing my $4 dollar bank sinker to the bottom, let alone a 40 dollar jig.

With that said, I am looking forward to all you guys jigging your life away on the pulley ridge trip, so you can tire yourselves out, and clear the deck :lol: :happyfisherman: :happyfisherman:

Hello, $4 for a bank sinker is outrageous! How many ounce are we talking about here?

The past few jigging trip have been successful out there. Tim was glad he bought his smith limited edition rod $600
he added a real reel, BX400XN Slammer $980 from new zealand & matching clothes but you cant see.... this gem is what he brought up from the deep blue sea!!! Make sure to upgrade all your gear before the trip!!!!

16-24 ounces. 20-24 ounces being the norm for getting down on the wrecks. I lost 4 20 ounce banks last weekend, it sucked lol.

I'll actually be bringing a new 400 bx accurate on the pr trip. Bought it for local fishing, but will be a blast out there on the red groupers/muttons. 20+ lbs of useable drag is incredible for that tiny reel.

Chris what does a 16oz bank cost you? $4.00? If you so, you are paying a premium for it. That's .25 cent an ounce

A 16 ounce costs me over 3 bucks at the couple shops I frequent, even on eBay, and it just goes up from there. How much are you paying? I might just not be looking in the right places.

Between 0.14 to 16.5 cents an ounce. An average of $2.56 1lb. When I get home I will post 2 links. One link we do a group buy of 65lb. If you are fishing plenty and seems that you are...you and your buddies can do a group buy and just buy what you need.

Two options for you if you want to try them out, lead bandit and another guy who doesn't have a website, Ace Sinker
dmbjr@optonline.net. I use both and they're fantastic.

thanks guys, looked up ace sinker and he seems to be on thehulltruth and has good feedback. 1.99 a lb for bank sinkers!


*edit* after reading more, ace sinker isn't pouring lead anymore... sucks because that price was just too good.
