Frank explained that it was Sato Norihiro who developed the first slow-sinking jig, testing it along the shallow waters like where he watched those first fish boils. “Through this natural phenomenon, Sato san started to think, ‘why not make a jig with a longer time-lapse fall to imitate a shocked or stunned bait fish’ so that the big fish will have more chance to bite the jig,” said Frank Cheung, managing director at Maxel Reels. Finally, predatory fish would focus on prey not hurt during the initial attack but fleeing in straight line, away from the group.Big fish would then turn their attention to wounded prey fleeing in helical fashion.The bigger fish first attacked the small fish which were shocked and stunned after collision during the assault, thus falling in defoliation form.He was so intrigued by the sight of the blitz that he jumped into the sea to observe the action up close, intently studying how predatory fish went about catching smaller fish: Norihiro saw how tprey had nowhere to escape, thus foaming the water surface in a boil.
It’s said that the “slow pitch” jigging fishing technique was born in Japan a decade ago when Sato Norihiro sat in study of the water in front of him. Slow pitch jigs differ greatly from other styles, and the approach to fishing them is equally different. Soft tips and plenty of backbone give today’s high tech rods the “slow pitch” focus with plenty of versatility and outstanding price points.
