Jigging from piers here in Ireland is one of the most successful methods. Same in most European countries. I use an 8 foot 5 - 35 gram fast action tip, with a 2500/3000 Penn reel, sporting 15lbs braid and usually a 3 foot 10lbs leader. It's an ideal setup and very rarely let's me down, even when the occasional brute decides to hit. For seabass, I'll use at least a 9 foot rod up to 50 grammes, and 25lbs braid on a 4000 Penn Wrath. Strong enough for accurate distance casting, but with more than enough finesse to feel everything.
Nice video mate. I've started fishing micro jigs a few years ago now over here in Australia. Such a great way to cover larger areas of water, especially when fishing land based. I do prefer tying the jig on, especially 5-7g as the clip sometimes effect the action of the jig, especially when it's falling. Cheers
It works dude not breaking records yet but catching that's all that's counts. Fish location is half the work once I've found them getting bites is easy. The estuary I fish Is really shallow so it's a little getting used to but like I say once I've found them the bites on. Thanks again for advice.
I just took out a Dawai Regal Z 4000 spin that's at least a few generations old but it was performing so much better than my old Shiamo I had on last trip. Great video idea by the way
Hola from Singapore 🇸🇬 I'm in locker changing uniforms before shift starts while watching your video... thanks bro 😊 Thumbs-up ❤, absolutely like & subscribed 🎉
I sometimes use these for freshwater fishing for perch. Jump along the bottom or twitch them fast when I see seagulls dive for baitfish seems to work pretty well
IF you fish jigs or lures particularly in Salt water use some line conditioner . Stops tangles,birds nests, ETC. Basic Teflon spray from the local auto parts store also works. After fishing wash down spray and your ready for the next trip. For the Micro-jigs you can run a clear bubble above and float these lure just like if you were fishing Crappie with a tube jig. I use this technique for when Surf halibut are feeding on small baits like 2 inch anchovies .
@@touki7899 Bought some Kevin van Dam line conditioner and found its silicon one type of plastic and the Teflon is another. Both have a DTSE safety symbol on the package regarding the health of the environment but the Teflon is a fraction of the cost.
I use nothing on my line. U just can practice how to use it . I cast with pe0.4 max. And jigs are 4gr. max. Yea it's a bit tricky before u learn how to use then but with some practice you will be fine
Hello bearzg feeling sad and emotional today I miss my parents rest in peace remembering my parents no turkey for me today on thanksgiving 🦃 2024 bearzg enjoying my day seeing your fishing videos to forget about the sadness
Thats funny how u said something about dry line. On one occasion on a fishing trip, my first cast right after taking my pole out of the car, of course my entire spool was bone dry, it was a baitcaster, and when i flung my first cast i completely burned my thumb on the line being that it didn't have a drop of water on it🤣🤣 never made that mistake again lol always wet ur line n spool before ur first cast 😅
Hey! I'm from India and I bought a pack of 7, 7 grams micro jigs and this video is very helpful. But I have a question. I am very new to fishing and I've been using sabikis a lot but they get ripped or break off easily. So my question is can I build a sabiki with the micro jigs and how effective will that be.
why do i have problem casting micro jigs due to it being too light? i usually use 7-15g and the wind just throws it back at me. After seeing it ploops just 2 meters from me I just jig from a bridge now. is it okay to attach weights to a jig if that's a thing lol?
15g is a bit more than ½oz, and you say that this rod is ¼oz≈7g Are you sure that it is ok to cast a lure 2 times heavier than what's written as casting weight on that rod?
Question if you were me and using 1/2 or 1/4 oz Kast masters spoons for yellow bass in 15-20 feet of water. And they love these spoons. What rod would you get from Major Craft, the Crostage in micro jigging? Also what is difference between medium and light etc. I want your take on a freshwater setup but want something that can really jig spoons because these yellow bass love spoons out here.. and they make 🔥 fish tacos 🙏 can't wait to try some of these gonna get bite for sure
I have used kast masters for lmb here in San Diego and they work great! Also used JigPara Micro Slims for them too in November. So the rod I would use in your situation would be anything between 7' - 7'6'' Medium Light, only because I will be able to send it way out there so they don't know your boat or you are near by. With the long rod, you get distance, with the soft tip, you get more of a natural presentation of the jig/spool/kastmaster. For the action, I would either go with fast or ex. fast. But that is my take on it, good luck!
@@BearzG Awesome thanks for the reply. In the process of shopping for my next setup and that sounds way better for what I'm targeting. I Was on the Major Craft website just had some questions on the options
How do you feel about st croix rods? Do you still have that Daiwa emeraldas LT? I just got one a couple months ago with the dual handle and I love it! Got a prorex LT as well love Daiwa! The color schemes are great!

I agree on the diawa being the best … I’ve been thru them all also. And I have a diawa twitchin bar mega force plus I’ve had for 10+ years and still use it to this day … now I got 2 lexas 300 and 400. And love them. And they sexy.

Shimano only really focuses on their high-end products. Daiwa focuses from low-end to their high-end products, that alone makes them better than Shimano.
A lot of the people I fish with personally had issues with the US Shimano reels. I understand that there are die-hard Shimano heads out there but the guys I fish with have nothing but negative results with their reels. Their offshore stuff is good, they got that down. But if you want my opinion on Shimano reels, either buy Made in Japan reels from Shimano OR spend minimum $350 on their reels, any one of their reels under $350 were not great with salt IMHO. This is just my opinion on their reels. Not a comment to bash the brand. I've had my fair share with their team, customer service is everything and unfortunately, Shimanos customer service is not the best.
As for Daiwa, you want a reel that will last you along time and still be buttery smooth (if you maintain it of course), you're looking to spend minimum of $200 for one of their reels that is QUALITY or DURABLE to salt. I've had my share of Daiwa reels also taking a poop on me but then again, those reels were $60 - $130 range and they just died on me. Daiwa customer service is good but NOT great. Products are innovative just like Shimano, they both have their pros and cons. I won't judge if people dislike Daiwa or Shimano. Fish what you like, buy what you like. Go gettem!!
The most effective way to fish these is to let it sit while you’re on your phone 👌🏼 gets bit every time!
100% truth. 🤣🤣
I'll try that next outing :)
For real bait maybe true; not for jig at bottom without something real.

I've been tempted to cast a 4oz torpedo or pyrimid weight at those jet skiers not gonna lie.
Slingshot stinkers always do the trick
I bring my large rod for that reason cast a 8 oz torpedo at mock 10

Show us your setup and what you are using please
I’ve made micro jigs work in NorCal, reservoirs, SD, Japan and here in Hawaii using various retrieves to match the species available. They get BIT YO.
Exactly!!!
What did you get with them in NorCal? Always thought of using them in the bay for striper
@@lukepiacente1877 I know I can get some stripers on them but I’ve only caught shallow water rockfish with them
Nice! Ima have to try some micro jig fishing from the rocks
Do you have any experience with the knockoff / noname jigs from aliexpress or amazon? How do they compare to branded ones like the jigpara?
I have that excact same pink jig. Is it good because i haven't fished with it.
Is that true that the 10g zibra glow is most popular one?
How to minimize being snagged using this micro jig? Is thst pop makes the micro jig goes up and not running horizontaly?
Do you have a video on the tools you use in your hip pouch?
What is that tool you used to hold onto the mackerel (first fish) to unhook it?
Can you help me to buy first real shore jigging rod?

Dial your rod and reel to the size of the bait you're running. Practice and you'll get the results you want.
how many meters is your leader ??

it's a solid or tubular tip rod?

So you can cast farther with your spinning reel than your baitcaster. With that size weight
