Tips & Technique
Slow Pitch Jigging
Join us as we break down the essentials of Slow Pitch Jigging, one of the most effective techniques for catching a huge variety of saltwater species.
Slow Pitch Jigs
Nomad Slow Pitch Jigging Rods are purpose-built tools engineered for precision and control in deepwater jigging. These highly specialized rods feature moderate, parabolic actions with lightweight yet powerful Helix30T Japanese Toray Carbon blanks, providing exceptional strength and sensitivity.
Designed with no large foregrip to maximize rod action and jig response, they allow anglers to perfectly work jigs at depth. Pair them with a high-drag, fine-tuned reel to maintain control and pressure throughout the fight.


For true slow pitch performance, you need a braid that combines extreme strength, ultra-thin diameter, and precise depth control. Nomad Design Ammonite™ Jigging Braid delivers all three. Made with premium PE fiber, its super-tight 36-weave X8 construction ensures a smooth, strong line that cuts through the water with minimal drag allowing your jig to fall naturally.
- Ultra-thin, high-strength PE construction for reduced drag and faster sink rate
- 36 weaves per inch X8 design for superior strength and smooth guide travel
- Color changes every 20ft to accurately track depth
- Hydroslick coating for water resistance and effortless handling
Whether targeting deepwater Grouper, Snapper, or Tuna, Ammonite™ provides direct contact, enhanced sensitivity, and unmatched performance for serious jigging anglers.
Slow Pitch Jigging demands efficiency, and the Nomad Design Jig Wallet delivers it. Featuring a unique Mesh Hook Storage System, it allows you to pre-rig your jigs with the right line strength and have them instantly ready to fish. Built tough and designed for convenience, the Jig Wallet keeps your jigs secure, organized, and tangle-free.
You can expand your setup with the optional insert sleeve, doubling your storage capacity as your jig collection grows the ultimate tackle management system for serious jigging anglers.


Success in Slow Pitch Jigging comes down to using the right gear. Start with premium BKK 5X Assist Hooks built strong with high-quality cord that allows the hook to flutter freely yet maintain strength, delivering better hookups on everything from reef fish to big pelagics like tuna.
Split Rings are key connectors, linking your jig to the assist hook for maximum action, while Split Ring Pliers make quick lure changes easy without retying your line a must-have for any serious jigging angler.
Don’t overlook Jigging Gloves, they provide crucial grip, control, and protection when working thin braid and heavy drags. With double-stitched leather palms and reinforced seams, they keep your hands safe and your performance sharp all day.
