Targeting deep fish with precision, out-catching bait with jigs, and dialing in your gear for serious slow pitch success—all in this week’s episode.

In this episode of the Northwest Florida Fishing Report, the crew is joined by Bill Falconer, host of the Mastering Rod Building podcast, for a deep dive into the art of slow pitch jigging. Originally developed in Japan for heavily pressured fisheries, this technique has proven highly effective along the Northern Gulf Coast—often outperforming traditional bait fishing. Bill and the hosts break down the specialized gear needed, from rods and reels to jigs and lines, along with practical tips on jig selection by depth, essential tools like split ring pliers and gloves, and the importance of mastering the right knots. Whether you're new to jigging or looking to refine your setup, this episode is packed with insights to level up your offshore game.
