In order to fully enjoy your slow jigging session, you must be well equipped. In this article, we will try to help you find the right reel for this fishing technique.
What is slow jigging?
Among the most popular fishing techniques is slow jigging. This is a very modern method. It is also important to know that slow jigging is a technique that can be practised during all seasons. That’s why it’s called a versatile method. And if you want to fish in the Mediterranean or the Atlantic, you can opt for this method. Slow jigging allows you to catch different types of fish such as: cod, dentex, gurnards and sars.
While classic jigging is aimed at catching smart fish, slow jigging allows you to trap and catch benthic fish. As the name suggests, it is a slow fishing technique. Its effectiveness is due to the lure’s enticing swim as it descends. To succeed in slow jigging, all you need to do is handle a balanced lure slowly.
What equipment should I use?
Like other fishing techniques, slow jigging requires a certain amount of expertise. However, if you are still a novice, you should know that it is quite easy to practice. All you need is the right equipment. To practice your slow jig, you will need a metal lure. The lure should be relatively heavy and it should be equipped with a hook mounted on a braid. The braid should be short. This is the trick that will enable you to avoid unhooking after casting.
As far as the rod you use is concerned, we recommend that you opt for a fairly flexible and above all powerful model. Your rod should be associated with a well-chosen reel. But how do you find the right reel for slow jigging?
