Jig recommendations for coral trout

<< < (2/3) > >>

Mark Harris:
Mahmoud... on Inchiku jigging. I used to do quite a lot of this, inspired by good fishing friend who is an absolute master with these.

Probably more important than which brand you use, is how you work them. Almost invariably, the softer and slower, the better.  My friend has special Inchiku rods which are ultra soft tipped.  You don't need to go that far, but it emphasises the point about going softly with them.

As for brands, Duel/Yozuri (same company) make good Inchikus and they are widely available.  I also used to buy the Yozuri chrome bullets and make up the actual rig myself. That allows you to to use your favourite hooks and skirt type, as well as different cords.  By chrome bullets, I mean these, without the rigging:



I have also used a lot of Adhek Inchikus but I don't think they are available for sale at any stores.

The best of luck!

Brandon Khoo:
actually, just about every single model I have ever seen works! mark is right in my opinion though - it's all in how you work it and the best way to work them is extremely slowly In fact, on one trip I was on a couple of years ago, we found they worked by by simply putting the rod in the rod holder and letting the rocking of the boat dictate the movement.

I do think though that scented soft plastics are deadly on trout

Mahmoud Salem:
Mark, Brandon, thanks alot for your recommendations, will give it a try and try to resist the temptation of fast jigging!!

David, would you kindly clarify "demersal jigging"

Mahmoud

Tommy Du:
I'm am speaking out of theory , most tuna jigs were invented for bottom
Fish and then tested on tuna.

Brandon Khoo:
Demersals are fish like cod, coral trout, grouper, emperors etc. Fish like GTs, wahoo and mackeral are generally regarded as pelagics
