Slow Pitch Jigging off a kayak

[vincentek9]

I don't think SPJ fishing has caught on too well here. I personally have a few SPJ outfits primarily used to target rockfish. I cant use it for yellowtail here as I need rod backbone to turn the fish ASAP.

as for tuna... bait and shimano flatfalls are king. fishing flatfall is 95% on the drop or stop. has nothing to do with the action of SPJ rod so why not use a broom stick on the cows.

another thing is that I think california law states 2 hooks max. for flatfalls and SPJ, i always set both hooks on the top. It's personal preference and I don't think putting them on the bottom would make much of a difference.

Yep, 2 hook max for ground fish I fish it in the same configuration, 2 hooks at the top, no hooks at the "bottom". I also notice that I snag less without the bottom hooks.
