I love slow pitch jigging out here in San Diego. Never fails, I always use Shimanos Butterfly Jigs. I got interested in it after seeing Sammy Hitzke do it on his channel a couple years ago. I use a Daiwa BG 5000 MQ with a Phenix Black Diamond rod with 50lb braid and a 40lb fluorocarbon leader. Never skunked yet slow pitch jigging.

I don’t go over 30lb braid when fishing 300-500 ft. for rockfish. The heavier line kills the action of the jigs. I will also go down to 20 lb braid if the current is really strong. So that I can stay vertical.

Not a bad plan at all. Most of our rockfish rigs do double duty with pelagics so we fish a lot of 50 and 65#. The new penn slow pitch stuff is all 40# or 30#.

The main reason is it's just easier to stack the line on a narrow spool and tends to get less loops than with a wider set up. Plus the smaller reel just feels better in hand. Thanks for watching!

WE don't use much mono these days. We fish mostly Seaguar braid with a short shot of SeaGuar Fluorocarbon at about 6'. Braid never has to be replaced the fluoro provides a better presentation and abrasion resistance. If you still want to fish mono, Berkley Big Game is our old stand by.

I think they say 1 gram for every foot of water depth. The deeper you plan to fish, the lighter you want to go with your line to decrease drag and the scope of your line in current. I'm just getting into this myself, so it's a learning curve. I bought a slow pitch rod in the 150-350 gram range and threw a Lexa 400HD I had on it because I'm not ready to commit on a dedicated slow pitch reel yet. I'm taking the 50# PP off and spooling it with 30# Maxcuatro, or maybe 20# MC. I should be able to get well over 400yds of line packed on there for East Coast tuna jigging.

@@tonito6197 So go lighter. You won't need the Fathom 25, that's for bigger stuff. The reels he was showing off Fathom 8-10-15 are more suitable. I wouldn't go any larger than the Fathom 15 for inshore. Stick with light pound test line 30# or less and look for a slow pitch rod in the lower range. You're buying the rod to match your jig size and the reel to match the fish you're fishing for. I've caught 65# fish on light spinning tackle. That Fathom 25 is for medium sized tuna and big yellowtail.
