Mechanical Jigging - Basic Technique

Here is a video clip which has been produced in conjunction with my jigging article in the NZ Fishing News magazine. This clip demonstrates the basic technique for mechanical jigging with both overhead and spin reels.

Great video!

Got a quick question for you...

I bought a Okuma Salina II spinning reel.

If I'm right handed is it better that I wind with my lefty or right hand?

Thanks

@vjanda1 its all personal preference mate, I am also right handed but prefer to wind with my right hand.

well done my friend...i'm from Greece & i jig about two years know.the only fish i cought are 2 black groupers not havier from 5kgr..what i want to ask u is with that technique u saw us what kind of jig's do u use.....i mean short jig, medium or long jig's..i use medium & long but i don't know men what happens all the time...i've spend too many hours & i've just starting thinking to quit!!hope u answer...

@xaxrisx thanks for your question. i use all shapes and sizes of jigs with this technique mate but with longer jigs I tend to use a higher stroke and speed up a little. With shorter jigs I tend to use a shorter stroke with the rod as the jig generally being centre weighted will have a lot of action. If the fishing is generally tough, i will mix it up a lot with speed/pauses and height of stroke until something works. Cheers.

Well made vid man. Ive been jigging for about a year and its all we do now. Catches all kinds of species, grouper, jacks, snappers, king mackrel, tuna, etc. Funnest times ive ever had is jigging and hooking into a freight train!

[HookedUpProductions1]

Awesome mate, yeah the hookup is the best part - especially when the fish are angry :)
