Lazaros Tsenesidis:
Hello all

Has any of you ever tried shore jigging?

I live in South Korea at the moment and i am practicing this technique here with good results.

Basically its a mix of spinning and vertical jigging using lighter equipment than vertical jigging and GT popping. Targets are all those hunting fish species that are not afraid to come near to shore.

Jigs are same but smaller 60-110 grs, and the moves are exactly the same as vertical jigging.

Let me know if you have tryed that before or if you interested to try.

Have a nice day!

I've been wanting to give this a go as well! What kind of jigs have you found to be most successful?
I was checking the butterfly system on shimano website and noticed that some have a long slow slide to side action
others a more rapid zig-zag and then some more of swirling action. What kind of action in your opinion works best or
is it more of a "match the hatch" kind of thing where some jigs work best one place and for one species of fish
and then not so good somewhere else?

Jason Chiu:
I'm interested to try! I bought an owner dvd on shorejigging and it looked pretty cool (i don't understand japanese though lol)
Was wondering how deep the ledges are that you fish?
I imagine it won't be much good if they are 3-5m deep?

Bertrand Loyeung:
I do shore jigging here in Sydney where the water is 30-50m deep. Rod: 10th Yamaga blanks blue sniper, reel: saltiga 4500 with pe3 ultracastman and my favorite jig is the evergreen javelin in 100g. Caught anything from kingfish, salmon, bonitos and even sergeant baker.

Cheers
Bertrand

Tony Giang:
I saw some clips on youtube and was curious as to what type of rods they use.
Do they use long jigging rods or light popping rods?
