How To Tie a Chain Knot
มุมมอง 11K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
There are various ways to tie the chain knot. This video shows how we tie our chain knot. The chain knot helps to act as a spring for shock absorption and as bite guard. We like to use this knot tied to a ball bearing swivel or solid ring which is attached to the top of our jig. The two nylon leaders we like to use as our top shots are Varivas Ocean Record Shock Leader and Jinkai nylon leader. ...

    West coast jiggers is a bit of an oxymoron no? You guys are using Maxel reels ? 😂 basically ten years behind the latest in jigging. Perhaps in 5 years you’ll talk about slow pitch like it just came out.

    So basically finesse jigging vs power jigging. It depends what size fish are being targeted, Schooley fish being caught by heavy speed jig setup is overkill and cow size fish being caught by lighter jig setup is under gunned. keep in mind private boats will wait all day, party boat captains will not wait for one guy on one fish all day. Need to get the fish in quick and efficiently. Great intuitive seminar.

    • @Westcoastjiggerz
      @Westcoastjiggerz 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can go with 65lb for more line capacity or 80lb for strength. I would probably say 80lb since the reel has strong drag. You should be able to fish the 200-300g no problem.

      @@Westcoastjiggerz first of all ty for your reply back I’m a fan of you guys because of all the advice and informations you give I can listen to you guys forever. Every time I go to a tackle shop and tell them I’m planning to use my Stella spinning set for jigging I get a lot of head shaking and I shouldn’t do it but I’ve seen a lot of spinning anglers landed so many nice size Bluefins and other species. I wanted to give up with the heavy set for tuna fishing because my left arm is not strong due to physical reasons and can’t hold my Rail Rod set up for too long and that style of dropping down and reeling it up fast just burnt me out quick and that’s why I wanted to switch to a Heavy spinning set up. But now that you guys showed how the Megalodon rod works I might grab a Megalodon conventional reel set up because they are lighter than the rail rods. For the spinning rod do I use the same jigging techniques as the conventional? As you guy shown in this video? I’ve just received my 150, 200, and 250g KB jigs that I ordered on WCJ website. I have full day trip on October 20th on the San Diego and can’t wait to use them. Any advice to land any size fish would be greatly appreciated. You guy are awesome and please continue to teach us more about fish because people will pass your knowledge onto our families and friends! Thank so much again WCJ!!!👏👏👏
