How many off-shore jigging method do you know and how many have you tried?
Middle jig, Long jig, drifting jig, butterfly jig, slow jig.. And now lots of makers supply for micro bait pattern jig with Tungsten material, small but heavy weight jig.
And today we introduce you one of them – called “Micro Flip” sold from Gear-Lab.
New Micro Jigging Jig-Spoon with Tungsten Small – Heavy Body
The reason why everyone is interested in Micro Jigging is because they also encountered to the case, fish did not bite well to their jig at off-shore jigging.
In this case the major reason can be because the bait fish are very small like couple of inches but at the deep see like 30m – 60m bottom. And at least, you will need to use 40, 50, 60g jigs to do deep sea jigging for this case otherwise you won’t feel touching the bottom and this is very important for almost of every jigging method.
However those jigs can be too big against micro bait pattern.
That’s why this Micro Flip was published.
It has small shape with heavy weight by premium tungsten body, and its own shape supplies very fascinating swim just from normal retrieve.
Recommended Tackle Balance
At Gear-Lab official page it recommends to match the micro jigging tackles, such as light seabass rods, eging rods or even like slow jig rods / Tai Raba rods with 10lb-15lb (1Gou diameter) PE braided lines.
So matched leader will be 12-15lb basically.

Where can I obtain micro jigs ??
Also, what reel do you recommend for jigging with Hamachi rod ??
Hello Dick,
Thank you for your comment.
About micro jigging tungsten jigs are basically the one you use, so easy to pick up some jigs with TG in names. You can check them from Rakuten Global here. Or you can also check our product introduction of micro jig Raspateen TG from Jackall.
I expect your rod is for spinning reels, so I am writing some recommendations of spinning reels, for grouper and snapper basically you don’t quite use big reels, I normally use 4000 – 6000 reels like Shimano TwinPower XD with 300m of around 30-60lb braided lines for them. But as your rod has more power, you can either think to use bigger reels like around 8000 size with stronger lines for deep sea fishing.
Hope this will help you 🙂 Have a great fishing days.
