New to Slow Pitch Jigging and what is it?

Slow pitch jigging is one of the most effective fishing techniques for targeting fish. Instead of waiting for a bite, you create one by working a jig through the water column with controlled movement that triggers reaction strikes even when fish are feeling sluggish.

At Kraken Jigz, we design high performance slow pitch jigs that are battle tested and built for both beginners and experienced anglers. If you’re new to slow pitch jigging, this guide will get you started fast.


Step 1: Choose the Right Slow Pitch Jig

The key to slow pitch jigging is a center weighted, asymmetrical jig that flutters like a wounded baitfish.

Best Jig Weights for Beginners

  • Micro & Lightweight Jigs (10g–20g):
    Perfect for docks, bays, lakes, rivers, piers, and kayaks. These are the best slow pitch jigs for beginners because you’ll feel more bites, faster.
  • Mid-Weight Jigs (40g–300g):
    Great for reefs, wrecks, and deeper structure.
  • Heavy Jigs (400g–600g):
    Designed for offshore species like grouper, snapper and tuna.
