This fellow has a good presentation. Been fishing for 45 years and still pick up a few good tips on these videos. Thanks Cap.

Outstanding presentation!!! Well done, we appreciate your perspective on jigging techniques!!!

Great video, I’ll be experiencing slow pitch jigging for the first time next week, hope to get some fish

Why am I watching this? I can pretty much guarantee I'm not going to be vertical jigging any time in the near future. I'm still interested though. Says a lot for Captain Mike and his teaching.

This was very informative and not a sales pitch. Very useful.

Crazy to see the amount of innovation and progress in jigging of any kind since this aired. PE line especially, now a days j braid 8 grand in 30lbs is the standard, and people are hauling up 40-50lbs grouper with it. Common to see folks using 15lbs in like 800ft and slaying. Wonder how the next 10 years will look

Thanks for your useful and informative videos on a wide variety of south Florida /Bahama fishing ideas/techniques. Enjoyed this one on vertical jigging a lot !!!

Absolutely love these seminars Capt. Mike...thank you so much for taking your time to present and offer them online. I hope to meet you guys at some point, possibly on a pulley ridge trip in the near future. On the topic of Slow pitch, I got absolutely obsessed a little before this video was posted. It has completely changed the way I approach fisheries I've targeted for years. On a recent trip to the gulf coast, We brought our slow pitch gear and several captains/mates approached us with apprehension on how lite the rods/reels were . On one trip, my wife promptly caught an 18lb red snapper on a daiwa sp jig. We made believers of that crew. LOL. Not only that, I've found that the diversity of species that respond is crazy. You honestly never know what's gonna hit those jigs. I think its worth noting that a great portion of the mechanics of true slow pitch are very personal and specific. It's almost like a dance. You will also notice that the guys from place like Singapore, and New Zealand have vastly different approaches to the Japanese originators. They all have merit and are worth learning. Setups: 6'5" Majorcraft 100-150g slow pitch NP-Jack rod/Accurate bv-300/pe3 ocea 6'8" Temple Reef Levitate slow pitch (zero) 60-200g rod/ Accurate bv-300/pe2.5 ocea 6'5" Black hole cape cod special slow pitch 90-350g rod/ Accurate bv2-500n/ PP max quatro 60lb

Hey Capt. Mike, I am a dedicated fan of you and Carlos. You do the greatest job with all your videos and seminars.

I do have a question that I may have missed during your siminar. 1. How do you keep from the hooks our hook getting caught on the leader on the retrieve. About every other drop and retrieve I tend to get tangled up, "hook around leader" Thanks so much, Trey gulf shores ALabama.

Captain Mike, Very educational video. Inshore and nearshore fishing in SW Florida a long time. However, Jigging is new to me. I am going on the Yankee Capt out of Key West for the 2 Day Marathon trip to the Dry Tortugas. Last weekend in November. I am building a Jig Rod. The blank is 7’10” 40lb. It is gonna have a LH Shimano Torium 20 Reel. 40lb braid. I am gonna spiral wrap the guides. Is that gonna be OK for that trip? I also have a 50lb 6’10” Conventional rod for bottom fishing. Additionally, I Have some 10oz, 8oz, 6oz, and 4oz Plain Silver Hammered Diamond Jigs and have found a couple of your “go-to” 100g Williamson Benthos Jigs for the trip. I know you have been on this boat, Any other suggestions?

For more information on slow pitch jigging look at Japanese Anglers Secrets. They have a great guide. I bought a Seigler LGN just for the techniques. The PE rating on Braid is pertaining to the thickness.

Florida Sport Fishing of course Capt. Mike. I am a big fan. These Seminars are so great. Jigging is a rabbit hole to get into. Another great techniquw within jigging is "ebbing". If you think slow pick gets a lot more bites wait until you hear about ebbing. The man who was a pioneer regrets showing it to people, because of the impact it had on species lol.

Capt. Mike..... awesome work man, I'm a fan of all your shows. I wanted to ask you what size jigging rod (length, weight, line class) would you recommend for a Saltist 5000 spinning reel? Keeping in mind the whole balance subject. Thanks and greetings from Venezuela my friend

Either a Chaos Gold SPVJ 165 or SPVJ 200, 6'0", load the reel with 30 lb braid and 50 lb. mono or flouro top shot. - Capt Mike

If the hooks are on the bottom and you tie to the welded ring on the top of the jig, and you catch a fish o the bottom hooks. You are then pulling on the jig and not a welded ring. You are then back to the old style of hook on bottom and tied at top.

Captain Mike, I recently bought some gold hammer diamond jigs without hooks or swivels . Can you please advise me as to what hooks and swivels to use on each end? They are 4oz jigs and ill be targeting grouper and snapper in the gulf. Thanks so much Captain Mike, I can't find any information anywhere on how to rig them!

@FloridaSportFishing

Its very easy, simply purchase some assist hooks from Williamson or Gamakatsu. Include a HD split ring on the bottom side of hammered diamond jig, this is where assist hook will be affixed. With 4 oz jigs, you don't need assist hooks on top and bottom. I'd go with the small, or 3/0 size. These hooks are super strong and will hold up! - Capt Mike

Mike, great video. I had no idea it was that detailed a technique. Did you say that reel is $700? I have had 3D sonar from Simrad for a while and it is great. I know they are not your sponsor.

Captain Mike What's your thoughts on FG knot for braid to floro connection

@GGGGGGG.

7 жыл бұрын

Dan Swansons either the fg or pr knot are amazing expecially for casting lures. One thing to keep in mind is a back up plan on retying a new leader if it fails, because tying either depending where you fish could be difficult..

Is 25 lb drag 300 yards of 30lb (tested to 45 lb) line enough?

I have tried jigging twice, once I saw schools of trevally underneath, but none of them was biting. Why wasn't I getting a reactionary bites?

Would a Penn Battle II 8000, 6’6” medium heady power moderate action rod with power pro 20-40 lb test work? I don’t have a huge budget right now. Now when you talk about lb test with braid, are you taking about the braids lb test diameter or actual lb test. Size jigs and brands for a setup like that? Looking to go for fish like amberjacks and whatever is pretty big and hungry

Braid is smaller and cuts mono in any knot easier. Better to use next size up mono. And with a Bimini twist on the braid side doubling braid size. If you use same size on both. That knot breaks easier every time. That is definitely the weakest link if you do it that way.
