Fish Monkey’s NEW Freestyle Slow Pitch Jigging Gloves
Eugene L. 07.05.23
Slow Pitch Jigging has been one of the biggest things to come to the offshore fishing world for the past decade now. It’s a highly effective technique capable of triggering strikes from most species of predatory fish all throughout the water column. From groundfish like groupers, snappers, rockfish, and cod, to fast-swimming hard-hitting pelagic species like tunas, wahoo, and other mackerels. They all fall for the slow fluttering action and side-to-side action of the slow-pitch jig. The center-weighted and often leaf-like in shape and special tuning give the jigs an action that imitates a wounded baitfish slowly fluttering to the bottom. The flutter triggers an instinctive response from fish that can’t let an opportunity like this pass by. Originally hailing from the highly pressured waters around Japan, the craze has spread worldwide. Compared to traditional vertical jigging slow pitch jigging is more like a waltz compared to the full-bore sprint that is speed jigging. Combined with lighter gear and a slower less intensive pace slow pitch jigging has more time spent actually working jigs than resting after bringing the jig in a couple of times.
With the lighter and less strenuous to use slow pitch gear you spend a lot more time on the rail working the jigs which adds a lot of wear and tear on your hands. That’s where Fish Monkey’s new Freestyle gloves come in. The Freestyle gloves have been designed to be customized by the angler. You can cut off fingertips without worrying about the gloves fraying or splitting at the seams once they’re cut. Perfect for anglers who need to tune their gloves for max comfort and support for long days. A good pair of gloves can be a lifesaver offshore especially on multi-day trips.
