Basic principles can be applied to any style of vertical game. But it can be a little less if it needs to be.īut on the other hand, the creativity is the heart of slow pitch. The reel is only required to retrieve 75cm per crank at the depth you are fishing. I recommend to get at least Class B rods. The rod has got much more to do with the slow pitch than the reel. And a lot of time you can’t afford what I recommend and you want to buy. And when the time comes, you can replace C rod with a better one. So it is actually not a bad idea to start with the light Class C rod, then get a medium or heavy Class A or B rod, and alternate these 2 rods for different tactics for a while. When your field is shallow and your jig is light, the light model of these rods may work just fine. The more you get into the game, the more you would want the real slow pitch rods. If you want to try it out, you should find these rods worthwhile. I’ve seen a couple of anglers breaking the rods when they strike at the contacts.īut it does not mean that you can’t practice slow pitch with these rods. The consistency of the quality is in doubt. They are not highly resilient and flexible as they are supposed to be. When you know what slow pitch rod is, you can tell they are not just by holding them. I don’t recommend Class C rods listed here. But this is not a “slow pitch rod” for a spinning reel. Poseidon Spin Jerker was produced by Sato Sensei before you established slow pitch jigging. Start with that and see if you can keep exploring. One of the best spinning reels in the world. I do not recommend to buy a new spinning reel for it. Now you are trying to start with a spinning tackle. Once you learn, the variations can be done easily. Because this is the way you will learn the most about this technique. Whatever tackle you use, if the jig moves in a way that fish likes, you’ll get contacts.īut I still do recommend to get an overhead tackle for slow pitch to start. In fact, there are a lot among slow pitch principles that you can apply universally to any vertical games. Slow Pitch Jigging is done by overhead tackle for a number of reasons.īut it does not mean that you can’t do slow pitch with a spinning tackle. But if you are buying a reel, for slow pitch jigging, I don’t recommend it. Because there’s so much to it than mere reel specs. However, if you already own Lexe, you should go ahead and start slow pitch jigging with it. Not for powerful and rhythmical crank of slow pitch jigging. It means that Ocea Jigger has more cranking power, and more speed (retrive length per crank). Lexe sacrifices its power by high gear ratio for speed, but the fact is that its speed is not that much. High gear ratio means you lose power and gain speed. Ocea Jigger 1500HG, for example, is 6.3 gear ratio. And the retrieve length is 32 inch or 81cm per crank, which is OK for slow pitch jigging. One handle turn cranks the spool 7.1 times. If I’m not good enough, you just need to find it out yourself. So I’m trying to make as much sense as I can. But you need to make this decision before you start. I am pretty sure you will know this reel is not made for slow pitch jigging once you actually do it. I can’t be sure about everything out of the specs. And I do know some similar reel of this kind from Daiwa Japan. But the weight of your catch involves a lot of other factors other than the reel power, since it also depends on what kind fish it is, how heavy the line and how much you have, how skilled the angler is, and also that the boat can follow up the angler. You catch such big fish with this reel.īut let’s leave out the fighting the fish part for now. Maxel Platinum Slow Pitch all come with a 3 year factory warranty.That is awesome. These components are usually found on rods costing much more. Fuji Graphite trigger reel seats (casting models) EVA grips and a clear epoxy coating.

Tucks under you arm and fits great on your forearm when you are fighting that trophy fish. It makes for a very comfortable rod to fish with. Rear grips this long are not usually found on hybrid rods.
