Slow Pitch Jigging off a kayak

[FullFlavorPike]

Do the guys on the longrange boats dropping 500g flatfalls on cow tuna count as slow pitch jigging?

Seems like they're using Penn internationals and rail rods, but still, flatfalls are flatfalls right?

No, that isn't slow pitch jigging. Slow pitch jigging refers to the combination of the technique (the actual slow pitch jigging) and the gear that has been developed for use with said technique. Slow pitch jigging doesnt equate to the use of a flat fall. Additionally slow pitch jigging is not limited to leaf shaped jigs like a flat fall, but rather the spectrum ranges from long narrow jigs similar to what we would typically refer to as a knife jig, to "stepped" jigs with sharp angles, etc.

Kind of a long Slow Pitch Jigging Seminar, but you can 2x the video speed to make it go by faster.
