Slow Pitch Jigging with Daiwa Baitcaster and Ocean's Legacy Origin Longfall

How well does a baitcaster work for slow pitch jigging?
This is something I'd always wanted to try as I enjoy the ease of use of a bait caster and how light it is. The only baitcaster I have is the Daiwa Kohga IC which has a slow retrieve ratio of 4.3:1 which is not ideal for SPJ as it won't give as much lift to the jig compared to a 7.3:1 ratio reel. Turns out it worked out great as I paired it with a Longfall slow pitch rod and the fishing action was good throughout the day catching plenty of Snapper and some small Kingfish which put up a great fight before being released back.
As usual in my videos I try to include a few tips around SPJ so you can understand why I do certain techniques during my fishing
