How Slow Jigging Started

Slow jigging technique was born in Japan in year 2007 by a fishing enthusiast, Mr. Sato Norihiro. (Sao san)

At that time , he even jumped into the sea water to observe the phenomenon of "boiling water" in order to study how the predatory fish catching small fish.

As the big fish in the sea besieged the small fish, the small fish has nowhere to escape thus forming the water surface "boiling"phenomenon.

When he was observing in the sea, he found that the big fish selects its prey when its prey shows like this :

1. They first attack the small fish which is in shock or stun after collision during attack (falling in defoliation form).
2. Next assault wounded and barely fleeing fish (fleeing in helical way)
3. The last is to prey those are not hurt during the attack but fleeing in straight line and away from the group.

Through this natural phenomenon, Sato san started to think why not make a jig with a longer time-lapse fall to imitate a shocked or stunned bait fish, so that the big fish will have more chance to bite the jig? Later on Sato san developed the first slow-sinking jig and tested it at most shallow sea. He even created a new way of pitching the rod. This is the most basic beginning of slow jigging technique.

In the past years ,the slow jigging style is most growing fishing in Japan. During year 2014-2015, it became very popular in Southeast Asia. Chinese fishermen started to experience slow jigging in early 2016, now more and more speed jiggers in China ( including HongKong and Macao fishermen and fisherwomen) have changed to slow jigging style due to its effectiveness and advantage compare with speed jigging.

• The slow jigging can target a wider range of species from bottom fish (such as various kinds of groupers, snappers, codfish etc.) to fast swimming fish (such as tunas, amberjacks, yellowtails etc.), because they all like slow moving and falling jigs. So it helps to catch more fish
• Works not only when the fish is active ,also works when not active mood ;
• The fun part of slow jigging is to use thinner PE line with light tackles to catch big fish , you don't need big muscle exercise then you easily feel tired with speed jigging style . So slow jigging is suitable for a much wider range of persons , old or young ,men or women .
• As you are more aware about the jig movement, you have many tactical choices when you feel something not working due to the water current or heavy wind etc. You can change your jig weight or jig color, your hook size, your rod and reel setup, also to adjust your application of pitch and reeling. These tactical choices are actually easy to learn, because the theory of slow jigging is quite simple. Maxel as a manufacturing brand, we have been developing slow jigging tackles ever since year 2013. By now Maxel reels, rods, jigs are covering all fishing conditions from shallow water, deep water and super deep water.
