HOW TO TELL IF IT'S A FAST OR SLOW JIG

hey guys this is gonna be a part of a series where I would discuss a lot of basic things I'm gonna make a playlist and put all of these there so this is part of the basic series now for this particular one we're gonna talk about how to differentiate fast jigs and slow jigs because a lot of people out there that well they're not they're not confused it's just that you know might be starting out or something they go to a shop and they get given these jigs that are just not right for the setup that they have it could be that and we could be even they don't know if their rods are fast jitter slow jigs I don't know if it happens anywhere else in the world but here in the Middle East this is something that happens a lot walk into a tackle shop and either guys there are busy or even if they're not they're just not knowledgeable enough because they're not fishermen themselves so having a video like this would be useful for some people anyway let's get down to it first let's talk about fast jigs because they're the ones that are actually the the ones that got introduced first okay so fast jigs as you can imagine come in different shapes and forms they are symmetrical okay so whatever you see on this side you see on this side some are short like these and they also come quite long like this one okay this is a 250 gram Jake it's quite long okay see hardly put it of course they're smaller ones becoming different sizes and whatnot but that's it you know symmetrical you can see that edge to edge right there it's what you see in one side you see on the other usually have angled surfaces to give them action while they going through the water and when you're jigging okay now slow jigs on the other hand are asymmetrical you'll see that there's always kind of like a belly and then like almost like a flat side but not really so one side is different from the other unlike fast jigs that are meant to be jig fast mechanically almost they are symmetrical because they Dart they're made the dart swim like that while you're jigging whereas these slow jigs are designed to flutter so one side or one yeah one side of it is always gonna be facing down and this is always gonna be towards the surface they also come in different shapes and sizes as you can see this one's a bit stubby okay and they also come long well this one's kind of special because you could use it for both fast and slow well these jigs come from pretty much one company you could apply this whole thing to other brands this is very basic you know there's different types of fast jigs as well there are some that are made to slide so instead of just jerking it you kind of pause a little bit and instead of dropping down real fast what they do is go sideways and swim in one direction like that and then go like this instead of the usual fast action like that okay so very very easy okay again if you look slow jigs are asymmetrical meaning one side is different from the other whereas fast jigs all right or symmetrical whatever this side is gets a mirror reflection on the other side okay so that's it aside from the rigging of course the rigging is kind of different these are made to be rigged with there's one that's rigged okay the assist hooks are more than likely to their art there are jigs that come with looks like some of these that already come with hooks but we recommend to actually change them up for a better hook up ratio it's not that they don't work it's just that you get better hook ups with aftermarket hooks most Japanese jigs don't come with hooks they just sell the jigs themselves okay so for fast jigs you have hooks that are similar to this this is perfect before this type right here okay whereas these types okay doubles that these are doubles but they don't face outwards when you hold them okay let's take one of these this is an example so right there you can see from the drawing right there but we'll pull one out just so you can see so these are rigged so that they face outwards okay so when you rig them here they face outwards like so whereas with slow jigs as you can see they face inwards although they face inwards when when you're using them they actually go like this and that's what hooks the fish but that being said fast jigs are mostly fished around mid water to the top whereas slow jigs are usually dropped down way to the bottom and then worked slowly so the chances of this logic hanging up on the bottom quite high whereas with the fast jigs as soon as you drop them down they reach they reach the bottom quite fast and you jig them up as fast as possible and what happens there is that a the bottom contact is only for a second or so whereas slow jigs would stay lingering near the bottom longer so hooks that face outwards like this would most likely snag it's also one of the reasons why the hook configuration is like this okay so ya want to keep this short hope you learned and more videos to come about these basic stuff check out the playlists that this will get into I'm good most likely gonna release at least 5 or 4 videos in this playlist probably publish it when there's three of them there okay so I'll see you in the next one bye for now thanks for watching and comment and share your experience let's learn together
