So, in the video when I'm explaining about braid line choice, I make a slip up and call PE Braid polyurethane... When in fact it stands for Polyethtylene... My bad, must of still had work on my mind as I am a carpenter for a living. Thanks to BucktailBob for pointing this out :)
Tips and Tricks Thursday more like Heaven. These videos honestly just make Thursdays good.
Thanks a million for watching and leaving some excellent feedback and a most humbling compliment. I truly appreciate it and your support for the channel. Couldn't do this without you. Thanks again. Tight lines & take care ;)
Very informative. I love learning about new ways to catch em.
BTW, the line you’re talking about (PE) stands for polyethylene not polyurethanes (which is a type of varnish).
Thanks a million for watching and leaving some great feedback. You're 100% correct on my slip up, I'm a dummy... Must of still had work on my mind... I am a carpenter. Thanks again for your support of the channel. Tight lines & take care ;))
Another great tutorial Heath.... loving your channel and how you simplify the topic.
Thanks a million for watching and leaving some great feedback. Far to often we over think things and make them more complicated than they should be. I believe, most things in life, broken down to their most basic components are not too overwhelming. I could go on for hours about Slow Pitch and still have a ton of areas not covered. Thanks again for your support and always being here, I truly appreciate it. Tight lines & take care ;)
Great info Heath!!! Slow pitch is the craze but I haven’t bought into it yet. I enjoy spinner setups as opposed to conventional. I particularly appreciated your recommendation as to the jig weight to depth ratio. Thanks for all your hard work.
Thanks a bazillion for watching and sharing your perspective. When I first got into SPJ... I used a spinner I already had, a Penn Battle 5000. Put a top shot of 300 yards of braid on it and started figuring it out. It was a pretty undiscovered and untested method at the time, but I knew it worked because I had seen it work. Understanding jigs weights and styles is where a lot of confusion lies. Once you get dialed in on depth, current & wind... Jig selection becomes less of a guessing game, but we all still make funny choices every once in a while. Thanks for always being here, I truly appreciate your support. Tight lines & take care ;)
Great ans valuable information for beginners...Really appropriate.Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing!
Good instruction Heath! Keep them coming
Thanks a million for watching and leaving some excellent feedback. Definitely a lot more to come. I truly appreciate you always being here and you support for the channel... I couldn't do it without you. Thanks again. Tight lines & take care ;)
Very informative sir...thanks
Nice info bro much needed! Might head offshore this Saturday to slow pitch for some red groupers
Thanks a million for watching and leaving some great feedback. Hopefully you are able to get out and do some slaying, I've caught some massive reds and blacks on SPJ. Always a pleasure hearing from you and having your support for the channel. Tight lines & take care ;)
Hi Heath, great step by step instructions. I really wanted to try slow pitch jigging this summer but it's not going to happen in Missouri. When I come back to New Jersey for a visit, I hope to go fishing with my friend in Ocean City, NJ. Maybe next summer . Hope the family is well and congrats to Avi on turning 18. Take care and good luck, Mickey
Hi Mickey, I really do hope you get a chance in the future to give it a try. It's super addicting.... always keep you coming back for more. Plus, when nothing else is working, slow jigging seems to always turn the trip around. Good luck with the move, hope it goes smoothly. Avi is a true role model. The day he turned 18, I signed him up for 401k at work, he's dumping 25% of his check in every week. Hope all is well, with you and the family. Take care :)
Hi Heath, Glad to hear all is well. Avi should have a nice retirement account when he retires. You never have enough money. Take care and I'll talk to you on Sunday. Mickey
Great job. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

@@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing always a pleasure my friend
Very informative I learned a few things with your video 👍

Hello so just wondering have you made a video about the slow pitch jigs?like which shape of jig to use for how strong the current is?
Thanks a million for watching and asking a great question. Yes I have made an episode about jig selection. Here's a link to it:

Another great educational video Heath! Where do you find the best prices on fishing vear in general. We live in the same area so wondering if you have a local favorite or do you buy online?
Thanks a million for watching and asking a great question. My "go to"" bait/tackle shop is Ray's Offshore Tackle.. Located just north of Glades Road on NW 2nd ave (on the east side of the road) in Boca. Not a giant place, but I've been going there for years and they are anglers, so they supply what works. Lately, they're Slow Pitch selection has been growing. However, somethings I can only find on line... Like the Billy bait mini turbo slammers, or a prototype slow jig from JYG. Hope this helps. Thanks a million for always being here and supporting the channel. I wouldn't being around without it. Tight lines & take care ;)
Thanks for the video fella, quick question, what do you use to attach the jig to the ring? I've lost a few big fish recently using clips and keen to find something more reliable. Cheers
My jig is attached to a split ring, and that is attached to a solid ring that is on the end of my leader
Do you back your reels with mono before spooling with braid? I have heard it helps prevent line digging in to the spool.
Not for SPJ.... it's all braid... Haven't had the digging in problem, but I have heard of it. My planer trolling set is backed with mono and a 300 yd top shot of 89 lb braid.
Let’s go!!

Hey . Sir. How is about star slow pitch jigging rod?
I am a new subsciber and watched your video assembling a slow pitch jig. Instaed of using a separate solid ring to attach your main line, I have been using a small ball bearing swivel which eliminates any twist while jigging. Just curious if you have tried this method and your thoughts.
Thanks a million for watching and asking a great question. Yes, I've used the ball bearing swivels to help lessen the line twist. Honestly, I've been doing slow pitch for years, and I haven't really seen the difference. I like the solid ring, because it's less hardware, a tab bit more stealthy, for me personally. I'm usually using a conventional reel, which retrieve line in a straight fashion, instead of a spinner, which wraps the line back on to the spool. I believe most line twist develops, from either incorrectly spooling, or reeling against drag and retrieving the line. But we all have our own opinions on the issue. I say, if you're getting a lot of line twist, definitely use the swivel. Hope this helps. Thanks again for your support of the channel, I truly and sincerely appreciate it. Tight lines & take care ;)

When you do occasionally go out deeper, do you switch to 20lb test?
No... I only have the one setup.... but if I had more I'd probably go with 15 or 20
@@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing Got it. Yeah exactly why I am asking, as I am only going to have one as well. So does the 30 do well enough then when going deeper? Wondering if I should spool up my one setup with 30 or if I should just go 20. It’ll be rare that I need the 20. Or idk if you can buy extra spools and just swap them?
30 is good for up to about 500... if your gonna consistently go deeper like 800, I'd go lighter definitely, it will work in shallow also
Great informative video and simple descriptively presentation.
Question. The Accurate Fury Boss 600N reel you are using, is it a single speed reel?
Question. Are there any advantages to using a 2 speed reel over a single speed reel. Or is there an advantage of using a single speed reel over a 2 speed reel?
Thanks a boat load for watching and asking some great questions. The reel I use, the Accurate Boss Fury 600N is a single speed reel with a 4:1 gear ratio. There's no difference in using a 2 speed. I used to have a Daiwa Saltiga 2 speed and I found the lower speed which was like 1:1 (was supposed to have more power) was useless, I always kept it in high speed, which was 6:1. That's my experience with the 2 speed reels, I really think it's a sales point gimmick made to make you spend more money on a feature that will (1) not be used & (2) is another point of probable mechanical failure. Hope this helps. Thanks again for your support of the channel, I truly appreciate it. Tight lines & take care ;)
👍🏼👍🏼
Heath I have barrel swivels on all my jigs. How should I attach to the solid ring ?
No solid ring if you are using a barrel swivel. Just attached the swivel straight to the split ring that holds yourr assist hooks.
Got it but do u tie leader directly to the swivel or use a quick connect if u need to swap jigs?
@@howardtenzer8307 nope... toe your leader directly to the swivel... if you wanna change jigs, undo the conne tion at the split ring
Could you use mono leader
Thanks a million for watching and asking a great question. Yes, you can use mono, works just as well... Only need about 15 foot leader. Hope this helps. Thanks again for your support of the channel, I truly appreciate it. Tight lines & take care ;)
What size of solid ring do you use?
I use an 80 lb test solid ring
What about if I’m in 100 foot what size braid should I have
20 or 30 lb braid is fine at that depth...
Hi Heath, I’m not sure if you know the shimano flat fall jigs? My question is are they considered to be slow pitch jigs? So I would use this type of rod when fishing them? Thanks again.
Hi Rick, thanks for watching and asking a great question. So, slow pitch jigs are also commonly refered to as flat fall jigs, so yes, you can use these with your slow pitch setup and treat them the same as you would, because they are slow pitch jigs. Shimano was one of the first major manufacturers of slow jigs, so they're technology and finishes on the product are top notch. Hope this helps. Thanks again for all your support of the channel and making this happen. Tight lines &take care ;)
@@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing thanks again for setting me straight!
Looks good but a bit expensive for my budget 😉
Thanks a million for watching and leaving some great feedback. I understand your concern about the budget that's always on my mind too that's why when I started I used just what I had available to see if I was really willing to make the commitment. Then I searched around for well over a year before I found a rod that I really liked that was reasonable. It takes a good amount of research and perseverance to really find quality stuff on a budget to get this done but is definitely worth a try. Thanks Kim for your sporting channel I truly and sincerely appreciate it. Tight lines & take care ;)
Looks like Sunday we going to have break
Hi Alex. Hopefully.... The weather has been outrageous for months... and I know the Southeast prevailing winds are getting ready to start blowing for Spring time. Oh well... Can't control the weather.
Hey man do you know a website I csn go to find the line?cause I can’t find any of j-braid line in stock or the PE braid thsg your talking about
Thanks a million for watching and asking a great question. I do have one... It's on amazon. I'll write to you later, as I have that info on my computer at home... I'm doing this from my phone right now. But I will get back to you with that info. Thanks again for your support of the channel. I truly appreciate it. Tight lines & take care ;)
Here's the link to where I buy my 30 pound test J-Braid from amazon.com:

Hope this helps.

No barrel swivel??
No. I prefer to not use the. Doesn't seem to make a difference. Only adds hardware
@@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing when the jig flutters, your line twists. Having a swivel prevents that.
That's rod old style and heavy. Try Hearty Rise 350 to 800 grams they never twist 99% carbon fiber no spiral and titanium guide. Never put your armpit if you retrieve.
Thanks for watching and sharing you info. Always great to hear different perspectives on a similar subject. Tight lines ;)
