Rigging Slow Pitch Flutter Jigs Made Easy - Tips & Tricks Revealed

[Music] hey guys Richmond Lee tackle so one of the most common questions that we asked on a regular basis is what's the best way to rig my lower being must popper my stick bait my slow pitch jig or my long drop gene so you know what I thought I'd put together a little video for you guys to see exactly how I rigged these particular lures in this next video I'm going to run through with you some very popular rigging methods for all the different sorts of lures poppers stick baits and jigs that are not only used by many my customers from all over the world but also to could be the 1% difference that it can make for you to keep connected to that big trophy fish please enjoy [Music] so guys what I want to talk to you about here is rigging what I call slowpitch jigs butterfly jig or father G it's kind of basically the same thing but it's a it's a jig that we commonly would more use for bottom species also for your pelagics but certainly very popular for like fish like snapper and red Emperor and nanny going trout and pearlies and stuff like that so this here is the the simatech sweeper jig as you can see it's quite thin profile and it's a very flutter erratic style jig now what I'm showing you here is this is probably the most if you want to go called an authentic way to rig this as a slowpitch jig with the two twin assists of the jig on the top and bottom of the jig the reason why it's a good way to put the two hooks 1hn is because as that jig is fluttering so you can imagine that g goes like this and flutters and there's wobbling around as that jig comes up in the air you can see this is the head of the jig and these hooks will be great when the fish comes in there but as the jig comes up here now this becomes the top and the head of the G so the fish comes in again at the top of the G you've got the other set of hooks there so that is a reason why to use twin assists on either end of the G this one here is again is a slowpitch jig it's the sinner tech nugget and I've just read that with the twin assist at the top I could put a set down the bottom but I haven't in this in this instance but you know what that's just something I basically decide on the day it might even come down to that if I'm missing a few fish I feel like I not need to put a set of 26 at the bottom it just gives me another great option to try another thing to note about about this about this rigging is that I have a swivel here attached to the split ring and then the assister e is attached to the split ring like that now the reason you don't have to have a split swivel but the reason why I have a swivel is because usually when I'm fishing this run or current and the boat is drifting with the current I never ever anchor up when I jig you'll get so fewer results doing that way so I always drift and therefore the jig often ends up way out the back of the boat and then I wind it in quickly and then I usually cast it above the the front of the boat when I'm winding the jig in and I'm usually winding it in faster to do my next set of digging and drop it down again that it'll cause the jig to spin so so therefore if he didn't have a swivel you might end up at the end of the day with a bit of line twist it's just something to keep note so that is a good way to do it but also to I could happily not have a swivel and just attach to the to the solid ring in it is very important to note that I attach I would touch my leader to the solid ring there through that part there when I'm rigging up if I didn't have a swivel like that that is the correct way to do it you wouldn't attach to the split ring and you wouldn't attach to the G but if I've got a swell if I got a swivel on there I'm going to attach the leader obviously to the to the swivel as such and that's how that would sit like that so I'll just run through quickly how I'd rigged up so basically how do I choose what size hooks and swivels and split rings so for this this case here I've got a subzero cinetech 120 gram jig so 100 to 150 gram jigs are probably the most popular size jigs that we use anywhere around Australia many many species are called on that size G it just seems to be the right size jig for the depths with fishing from 40 to 80 metres he's a popular dip and so these this rake jig is great and so what I do is cinetech here brought out the size 800 900 and the Tenno and what I do is I look at that the size of the jig with the hook and I and basically I do it by eye and as you can see here the the width of the hook is fairly similar to the width of the of the jig where it sits so I'd be happy to put that on there the next size up is that is the nine oh I think personally that's looking too big so an eight-oh in this instance is the one I would use now the size of sweet lip ring so again I kind of match it up to what looks right to me so in this case here a size six split ring would be perfect in my opinion to match that up there and then the size of swivel I've got to size three swivel again I think that would all marry up well I usually do it by eye so that to me is a good combination and then simply I would add this foot ring to the the assist hook first like such put it on here and then what I would do is I would then add my my swivel and then finally let that hang down like that and then I bring the swivel open luck to the jig doesn't matter which side you put on long as it's at the top of the the jig that to me is a perfectly rigged jig you can see the hooks are sitting nicely come down to about midway of the jig I like it I don't like it too long personally but that is personal preference I think that there is sitting perfectly for maximum cook up right now if you want to add another set of twin assists you would simply add a split ring and the assist down the bottom to create this situation as we see it here I hope that helps guys to read your jigs up correctly there's certainly some many ways you can do it but I think that is probably one of the best ways to do it good luck out in the water hopefully you're getting the nibbles and thanks for watching okay so I hope you found this video interesting and maybe even
