MICRO JIGGING from shore is one of the most productive modern day fishing techniques you can get into - there are a lot of shapes, sizes and weights to choose from and they all do different things. This guide will help you learn how to choose shapes, sizes and where and when to use them. I hope this video is helpful to those getting into micro shore jigging and that this will help you build a system that works for you!

Thank you for sharing more ideas about micro jigging
Hope you learned a few things :)
Great information to learn from. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful as usual and many details to learn how to deal with this little things (micro jigs)
Thank you Mr. Kit
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a lot for that information
Happy to help
really very valuable information and thanks for it
Most welcome
Thanks for sharing sir...i leave L,S and comment..i need that also...
GOD BLESS po
Thanks for coming
Thank you for the well done video, lots of information. Im starting to use these in socal surf and wanted a recommendation for the best type of rod for the jig actions. Looking for 9 foot plus rod. Thank you sir
Glad it was helpful! - if you are a new sub, check out the giveaway - shore jigs are going to be sent out by OWNER hooks world HQ!
You read my mind Kit, great vid, one question. What about a jig that is flat on each side and the thickness is even top to bottom. Thanks brother 😁👍
Is it a narrow or a wide jig? got a pic I can check?
Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed
I love how you bring science into the sport of fishing. If there is one thing i have taken from all your vids, it is doing things with purpose!..Thanks again for the great content and sharing your knowledge!...Keep em coming my friend!
I appreciate that! lol

Nice information 😉
Glad you think so!
Hi, just come across your explanation here on micro jigs and there are couples of very useful information here as well. But I can't seem to find the tackles (rod and reel) that suit the 10-30 grams jigs. Can you recommend some or share the tackle setup that you have? Thanks
They are almost impossible to find in the US. IF you are open to buying from Amazon Japan, drop me a line in IG and I can help you get rod, reel and line.
obrigado pelo video.nao consegui ver na totalidade e quero aprender mais,logo irei ver .abraço saude

Mate since you recommend these jig para 10 grams to me nearly a year ago it’s practically all I use along with the 7 gram and 15 gram. Great lures for us here.
Great to hear! They are quite easy to use!
Good video. Do you think attaching with a clip makes a difference to catch rate.
very good question...it's always a subject of discussion. for me personally, I would tie off to the jig with a solid ring more than I would with a snap...I don't like extra hardware when I fish. For some, it doesn't bother them. So this point, is very subjective and probably one that is more on preference than anything else.
For Bonito and Mackerel they don't care. They are aggressive predatory and will hit anything moving that looks like a meal. So no it will not make a difference. Other fish maybe who are not aggressive too much hardware makes them weary to bite.
Thank you for great video. Would be great if your desk top was white colour or there was more lighting.
Thanks for the suggestion, will be fixing the studio soon.
Ive been asking a lot lately about jigs on why do they remove or retain the hook on its tail end. Any ideas behind it?
Fish will always grab bait and try to turn them and swallow head first, otherwise, the spines will catch their throat when they swallow. This is the idea of putting assist hooks in front of the jig where the "perceived head" is; basically, where the jig is moving towards. In slow jigging, you give the jig slack or give it more line so it could flutter and falls either in a horizontal position or it moves leading with the "tail" end, which alternately becomes the "perceived head", so putting assist hooks on both ends covers this because when you reel up or jig your rod up, the "head" shifts from the back to the front and vise versa.
Casting jigs work differently, the hooks are at the back (treble or single) fish will grab it from the side, the teeth slide by either you setting the hook or when they turn to make a run, teeth slides on the surface and your treble hooks catch and hook them.
Hey mate how you think of a Shimano Anarchy 6-12kg with a Shimano sustain? Gonna put some 30lb braid and is that a good combo for jigging
Sounds good
@@TheFishingKit Hoe long does the rod need to be?I am from Sydney and mainly going to do jigging in the harbor
@@jzfishing103 rods for this range from 8 feet to 12 - the longer your rod, the longer your range. I like rods in the 10-12 foot range for 10-20g. For my 7-15g which I mostly use for jigs not over 10g, I use a 10 footer
Hello just starting with shore jigging - what would be the minimum length rod that you would recommend?
9 foot 6 inches or 10 feet are very good lengths, I prefer 10 feet.
In your experience for shore/jetty/pier fishing whats the smallest but heaviest swimming/casting micro jig on lazy days of fishing.
On heavy current what micro jigs do you suggest?
Thanks alot for your help!
choice of weight depends on what combo you are using as well - you can not use a 5g jig on a PE 1 outfit when the current is quite strong. but on a very light combo, you can reach the bottom. So it really depends on quite a few things, not just the jig at the end of your line.
@@TheFishingKit thanks. Any other brand and model that you can suggest for casting swim jigs? Just cast and retrieve kinda type. .75 to 1oz with very small profile. Appreciate your help.
@@ShinkiZer0 Yozuri blanka metalic sardine and similar shaped jigs are all good. both jigs are super versatile and can be used for a lot of situations. The thing is, there are so many clones these days and it becomes kind of pointless to name brands because distribution in some countries are more covered by clones. The best way is to buy and test and see which ones actually work for your style.
Sir is the lure for shore casting the same as when ur in the boat.thank you.God bless...
Some can be used - but there are specialized ones for shore fishing, such as the examples in this video.
Thanks you so much sir.very informative videos...ive been saving it...just started jigging...thank you so much...God bless
thsnk ..
ur wclm ;)
Great vid. lots of info. May I know what water/area/country you do the micro fishing, kind sir?
I am based in the middle east
@@TheFishingKit Thanks for the response sir. I'm just trying to see if I can apply your knowledge to my fishery which is on East Coast of Florida where the current is ripping hard most of the time.
@@tientran27890 slow jigging is slow jigging it doesn't matter where you are. The Kuroshio current in japan is a place where slow jigging is practiced a lot. I know people that know what they are doing go to florida and do better than the people there. I have not heard of a jig,rod,reel or line that crossed the US border and have become a croissant...yet.
All the companies based in the US are doing are copying japanese and asian brands. So where do you think it all came from? they miraculously came up with all these on their own? if you look at all their jigs, you can see japanese counterparts that have existed long before their company started. The only thing they do is mislead people into thinking that they are doing something different or special.
@@TheFishingKit I'm just freshly starting with slow pitch jig and I got confused or not to clear with a lot of videos that mentioned about the current in Florida. I look up the Kuroshio current in Japan and realize that that current is also fast. So that info clears out one of the reason I have had fail trips. I am still in a big learning curve with the SPJ and your videos have been helping me a lot.
nice information.. can i have some..🎣🎣
Information I can give free, the stuff I talk about, I buy too :)
Excellent video. As a general rule of thumb, what is the recommended reel's ratio and retrieve (in cm) for jigs 5-10gr?
where are you fishing? if you are on a boat, it different from when you are on shore.
@@TheFishingKit shore
@@christosstavrinides8493 XG for shore.
Ιn addition to the choice of narrow vs wide jigs that this great video deals with, it would be great to make another video in terms of choice of jig colours (conditions of weather, water etc.)
What should you use if you want to catch large snapper and grouper but they are in 40 ft of water? The 15 gram jigs seem very small.
How big is big? 40kg? 30kg? 20kg?
Does a wire leader effect the action?
yes, but depends on the wire you use and how you use the wire, I have a video in the channel with how I use wire like a solid ring.
Lovely micro jigs you take out in 11:00
It is called Jigpara Micro Swim
Do you have a video comparing triple hooks with single
What do you mean? for Jigging or a comparison of singles and treble hooks in general?
small fish = trebles. Big fish= singles. Just remember that and you'll know which type to use.
Do you use snaps ?
Not really. I used to use snaps before, but they opened a lot when you hook something bigger, so I stopped using them. It is a headache when you want to change jigs/lures, but still would rather have the security just in case I hook onto something big that could potentially open the snap.
assist hook length based on your jig?
Yes, there are 10g jigs that are longer and there are some that are shorter but wider. if you want to get your catch rate high, then you have to ensure that your assist hook length is right for the jig you are using.
@@TheFishingKit so most of the time, people using shorter assist hook on jig right? not way below the jig itself..
@@White_Tiger93 depends, for fast jigs, you only need the assist hooks to be at the head, but for slow jigs, you need the hooks on both ends. Different dynamics at play between the two.
I always get snagged on corals when I use these jigs on the shore. Any tips how to avoid that?
use lighter jigs. most people use jigs that are just too heavy for the depth they fish in, can't judge when they hit bottom and get snagged.
@@TheFishingKit hope you can make a video how to use them properly. Nice channel man. I subscribed.
@@momon5858 Thanks and welcome aboard! I will get around to it...just working on a lot of things in the background nowadays. :)
I also usually remove any trebles and replace with a single or assists hooks
When you were describing the jig action, you used the term "slider." What's a sliding action?
sliders are jigs that go sideways when you give them slack. There are sliders for both slow and fast jigging.
@@TheFishingKit ohhhh ok 👍
Any recommendations for jigs that excell at sliding?
@@matthewbeckwith663 there's a few, but to name a couple - Sea Falcon real cutlass and my fave is the Yo Zuri curve slider - if you can find this jig, its very easy to use. Smith has some nice sliders as well - they label them as sliding jigs.
@@TheFishingKit thanks you for pointing me in the right direction
@@matthewbeckwith663 my pleasure.
Could You name that jig at 13:00 for me? THX!
Sea Falcon Manma (real) saba (mackarel)
@@TheFishingKit THX a lot!!
Great video! But your intro almost destroy my speakers....!! Please adjust audio levels!
Noted!
All of that being said is not as important as this rule of thumb. If i had to pick 1 lure out of all those being shown it would be the U.V light one. U.V light outperforms any other color 10 to 1 ratio. The rest do not work nearly as well. U.V light is the most important feature and the fact that it isn't mentioned here is baffling. We went to florida and caught loads of fish and bunch different types all on a U.V rated major craft jig. Everything else we tried did not work. Same goes for when i tuna fish or fish yellow tail a U.V iron is what i always throw first and pretty much the entire time and i always catch more fish than anyone else. I probably own over 300 jigs just in salt water but the only ones i ever take now are U.V. As a bait maker who owns a tackle business sure i'll sell you all 32 colors in each and every size since you need them all. As a fisherman you only need the U.V lol. Hope this helps.
Sure UV works, but there are also certain situations where they work against you. Having too much UV reactive elements actually scare fish away too (not "UV light ones" - that's the wavelength that makes the colors react) Most if not all of the jigs in used in the video have UV hot spots - it's quite a basic for all of the jigs sold these days.
Underwater footage shows that all drop the same, and throwing distance dif is negligible it's much more depending on rod and technique. There is so much overcomplication with people and fishing... gets tiresome.
You can oversimplify things the way you want, it's the freedom afforded to everyone, the same freedom afforded to me to explain complicated stuff so people can understand - people who want to understand it.
If you look at them falling underwater and not measure anything "drop the same" would be applicable.
Distance - if you have thicker line than I do, I will outcast you, Plain and simple, it is physics. The thinner my line diameter will be, the more significant my distance will be compared to yours - even if we were casting the same jig - so no, it's not just the rod and technique, although the rod, reel and technique are also components of the cast.
End of the day, this channel is about optimizing your fishing, you are right though, it does get tiresome for people that just want to go fishing - this channel isn't for people that want JUST that. This channel is for people that want MORE. :) Otherwise, they are more than welcome to watch stuff like "River Monsters" and similar fishing shows.
@@TheFishingKit Sorry I was tired yesterday in general, and yes line also affects way more than shape of jig (aerodynamics), this is my point, that also maybe the shape affects how it drops in terms of movement but rate of speed is all the same it's lead or tungsten after all. Imagine a lower resistance environment, air, how much of a different shape you have to make to affect the rate of lead following down you would have to make balanced wings and even then lead will do it's thing. Now i'll go watch river monsters 😜
If two objects of the same weight, one is more slender with less surface area is dropped together with one that's flatter - more surface area - the one with more surface area will have more resistance to the surrounding water and will glide or flutter more than the slender one. I mean...this isn't rocket science. you open your palm in the water and push it, you get a lot of resistance than when you turn it sideways...your hand has the same weight either way, the more force you apply the more the resistance is apparent. Yea..go watch river monsters. Watch the science guy after.@@SenexGames
@@TheFishingKit Perfect, now go to a pool and drop the slowest jig vs the fastest and see how much actual difference there is, let me save you the time, microseconds at best... I'm all for catching details, improving, but also it's good to see when we have gather bullshit info along the way, it's part of improving... science is experimenting seeing if theory aligns with reality 😉
I have done this experiment, and there IS a difference. a fast jig would drop straight down while a slow jig would flutter and would give you about 2-3 seconds in 3m of water. both made of lead and the same weight (5g). The extra 2-3 seconds matter to the fish, since their bio mechanics allow them to move faster than the human eye can fully process. Anyway...let's see that underwater footage you mentioned.
