Best Jigging Tips At Sea

On this occasion we will share to you all about best jigging tips at sea. Here are some best jigging tips at sea for you :

1. Fishing rod selection
Fishing rod should be light enough so that anglers easy to play, so the angler energy is not too drained. The goal is when there is a strike, then fight, anglers are still quite a lot of energy. Jigging Fishing rod though tends to be more rigid, the end generally quite sensitive to be able to detect movement jig movement or fish grab. World jigger Nicola Zingarelli and Lamiglas who designed Tropic Pro jigging rod design, said that the best grip size between 14 to 16 inches depending on the length of the arm anglers. While the 12-inch handle is the best option for those who like jigging with a belt.

2. Reel spinning selection
Spinning Reel, use low gear ratio. It aims to not too heavy at the time of roll, so we will not feel tired. Baitcasting reel, same as spinning reel. With a small ratio of 4.0:1 it easier for angler on jigging and does not drain excessive force.

3. Line selection
Because PE is not elastic strings like mono , ideally used fairly light strings and small diameter but stronger. Try using small diameter PE capacity but its lbs higher in order PE fit a lot in the spool. Because jigging has another sensation of popping. The use of large diameter PE will cause friction with the flow so it would be great to add an additional burden and affect the action jig. The use of small diameter PE make more line capacity on the spool, thereby reducing the risk of line end while fighting with big fish. The use of colorful PE (per 10m) makes for knowing the depth and Easier to mark the strike zone. 

4. Line leader
Shock Leader monofilament is usually used with 1.5 to 2x the power of the main power line with a length of 3-4 m. Try to use a shock leader flouro because flouro harder (not as stretchy) regular mono, so the jig will be good. Line Leader use purposes are :
  • Reduce the risk of break down if there is friction force on the vessel wall or rock.
  • Facilitate wireman / Crew landed the fish.
  • Reducing the conductivity which occurs when the strike

5. Metal Jig / Bait (Lure)
The use of bait should be adapted to the ability of the Fishing rod used, the depth and strength of the current location. Color does not have much effect, most importantly easy to see / attractive the attention of the target fish. Light-colored jigs (fluorescence) to fishing that deep. 

6. Drag setting
Drag setting is usually adapted to device (ideal drag is one third of the power line PE) and target fish. For fishes like Amberjack, Dog Tooth Tuna or Yellow Fin Tuna, drag is too tight (> 7kg) will quickly drain energy and stamina. Reasonably be set 5-7 Kg, due to the high usage of drag is very risky with a broken rod. Try to position the height of the rod when the fight is not over 60 degrees.
