I am loving my Okuma Hawaiian Jig rod. 2 trips completed both in shitty weather conditions, yesterday's trip only had about 2.5 hrs of a good window. Its a joy to use.  The moderate action takes most of the load bring up my gear and catch. The longer top foregrip makes using it super comfy.  I used it for jigging metal and dropping live bait.
I just received a brand new Daiwa Harrier Jig rod. I am surprised its has fast action (no details in Daiwa website). The reel seat and foregrip are not as high end as the Okuma. Thats why its half the price.

I can't wait to get an Okuma Hawaiian Jig rod and catch some rockfish.
Thank you for your report.

Paul

I'd be great to see your report.  I need to figure out how to use the Inchiku jigs you recommended.  I tried them but no bites.

Received my Okuma Hawaiian Jig rod from Charkbait.com, only two days after my order.  They also offer a military discount and great service.
Now, I need to figure out where to test this rod.

Just for fun, the 13lb hali I caught today slammed my 5' 8" ghost hunter spiral wrap 300g rod and it worked like a boss.  Tip dove under the kayak, I picked it up and it stayed good and bent and down...I've caught a sturgeon on it as well... :smt006

Hi Eddie

I need to chase you aground one of these days to see you in action with your slow jig rod.
Just attached an Okuma Metaloid M-5II reel to my new rod to get ready.

Hey Paul, You can be like me.  Attach reel on your new rod, line it up, tie a snap at the end, connect to a fix or heavy object.  Pull and wind to your hearts content.  It would be great to fish with and your wife soon.

I attached weight to the rod and reeled in to see how it feels.
Watched most of Slow Pitch Jig Fishing seminars on YouTube.
Order some slow pitch jigs from Amazon.
I think I am ready to go catch some fish.

What weight jig do you typically use?

In addition to rockfish, I want to go after yellowtail, halibut and tuna in Southern California.
The chart below shows the jig color recommendation.

NEVER tell a your spouse about losing gear LOL. I don’t mention shoes or her purse collection...

Wait 123 fishes with his Mrs right ? Dude you get a pass LOL

I think she likes fishing more than I do.  She enjoys all the seafood we catch: rockfish, halibut, lobster, crab, yellowtail, and horseneck clam.
After she sees me landing some fish with my new slow jig rod, I might have to order one for her too.
Last year I got demoted to deckhand since she was landing so many fish, I typically don't get much opportunity to fish.
