I love these instructional videos, great content for a beginner-intermediate slow pitch jigger like myself. Just ordered that Daiwa reel! Can't wait to swing by the store next time i'm down south.
Is there one specific Johnny jig that you would recommend for American reds and gags on the West Coast of Florida? 150 to 200 feet. Thanks in advance Great video!
I was catching up on your videos last night. Someone was using a Diawa Saltiga rod. I went to the Diawa site to look the specs. I had no idea of the selection. What is a recommendation for deep drop jigging on a long range head boat. Long 7' or short. lighter or heavier action? Pretty sure I'll need some of the big boy jigs also. I am trying this jigging here in the Midwest. who knows? Don't be afraid to sprinkle the technical stuff in the videos along with the valuable tips Thanks David
Hey David, we love the technical stuff. Deep dropping wise...talking Daiwa...the Saltiga x-heavy would work great. It has a hefty price tag but is a very nice true Japanese SPJ rod. Our power 4 JohnnyJigs ProJigger also is a great option. The last one that I really like is the Ocean Legacy Elementus Deep. " most bang for the Buck" it has a great action and is true to its ratings.
I saw something about fish and UV light. Never thought about the light spectrum and how fish see it. So you guys have any jigs that reflect UV light? But it would answer questions about how a fish finds stuff at depth at night
I was wondering if I can use a Shimano 300 E baitcast reel with a power handle with a similar rod that your using for that kind of fishing. Do you think it's a set up that can handle those types of fish?
What do you set your drag to on the 35jh? Do you increase it pre trip when you know you’re going to be getting into some big grouper and ars? I have mine set to 14# at strike with the same # braid and flouro leader as you.
Offshoretherapy2035 In the Gulf, the Regulation for scamp is 16".We generally will announce our location in the video or write it in the description. We were fishing out of Fort Pierce on the Atlantic side where the Regulation for scamp is 20". The last thing we want to do is publish wrong information, and we are grateful when our viewers educate us. So thank you. Keeping up with regulations all over the USA is almost impossible, so we use an app called Fish Rules. This app is incredible, and I highly recommend checking it out. Jig On Johnny
Some people in the panhandle area call porgies white snapper. Whatever you call them they taste great!
Mantap spot nya
Thank you for the advice on the rods. Cant wait to fish them in a few days
The Daiwa 35HJ is one slick reel. It's quickly becoming one of my favorites.
For sure..
Great video, really nice fish! That tournament looks interesting! 👍🎣
Thanks Raleigh, The tournament is going to be really cool for sure.
Love this tournament its going to be a good memorable year of spj
I’ll have to come in the shop and pull the trigger on the Daiwa 35 and power 3
Come on by...

Get it 👍
Good work, nice snappers 😎👌
What was that unit with the Cmore maps ? Great vid !
Cmore map pack. It's a Simrad go series 7"
Will you be doing a comparison between the daiwa 35hj and accurate valiant? Can also compare it with the ocea jigger
35h spj is more silky than ocea jigger , so much drag. 35H IS WAy to go than ocea 2000,4000

I just slayed the Red Snapper thanks to the JohnnyJigs 200 gram Flatty! It’s almost unfair… they simply can’t resist it!

I set it between 8 and 10 pounds at strike. The 35jh can be adjusted on the fly. It is an amazing reel.
@@JohnnyJigsTV so you pull down to free spool and adjust drag?
HAHA Closing Thing ! lol
what fishing rod to use for a daiwa bg 6500 reel
Take a look at the ocean legacy spinning rods on our site JohnnyJigs.com. They have a high speed and Spj rating as well.
As always, excellent material. May I ask how long your leader is?
Thank Ime...10-12'
@@JohnnyJigsTV thank you!
Scamp only have to be 16 inches
