Thread: Slow Jigging with Inchiku and Kabura style jigs

Hey all. Who's fishing these types of jigging styles? I tried them for the first time in the Hauraki plus had a good day out in the Eastern BOP on snapper. I'm "hooked" now. It was more than as good at delivering hookups as bait, plus was a lot more active than just waiting for a nibble.
I just bought a JigStar Slow Jerk PE1-2 rod which does well and the last Inchiku jig I had the best success on was a 80g SLow Jay by Zest that was an impulse buy on the way in. I've an old Calcuttta 250 with PE2 braid and about 2m of 20lb Fluorocarbon trace.
I'd be keen to hear anyone else's successes with this style of fishing and any pointers for a beginner. I think the exciting bit was how many times we got hit on the drop after the first lift, plus the way in which the pressure just comes on. It's a lot different from bait fishing and not striking is a hard habit to get over.
