Terry Smith got a reaction from daio web in SPJ set up for wrecking.
We caught plenty of species but nothing special to report I'm afraid.
Fishing was very slow although Slow jigging was productive for most of us.
Here are a few images.
Good sport on the lighter gear.

Yes that's true and some the size of a small car were following up hooked fish but just couldn't get them to take a lure. Wasnt going to resort to bait fishing.

Terry Smith reacted to Scotch_Egg2012 in Slow jigging at anchor
I've been seriously looking at slow jigging and done a lot of reading up on it.
From what I've seen the jig needs to be worked vertically so if you anchored with tide running the jig would be pulled away from the boat and not work effectively. It'd be OK at slack water. With tide running you'd need to drift and cast it ahead of your drift so when it's in the zone you want it's under you and working vertically.
You described a lot of what I've watched when saying to retrieve and flutter up through the water column. You're covering all the ground doing it that way.
I've thought about them for wrecking when the tide goes slack. The shad catches seem to die off and I thought a slow jig might winkle something out

Terry Smith got a reaction from jonnyswamp in Slow jigging
Sorry guys, I somehow missed these earlier threads??? (excuse the Pun)
Using a line that has memory like Mono or Flouro as an Assist Cord is fraught with problems as over time they will twist and kink causing the hooks to tangle. Even Amnesia kinks when worked like this.
The Best assists should have Very Low diameter cord to allow the hooks to flail around freely.
Some I've seen with thick kevlar that's better suited targeting 100kg Dogtooth Tuna. Just too heavy and too stiff especially if doubled up by splicing.
Match this cord with quality lightweight hooks that are designed for SPJ, not standard J-hooks.
The hooks I talk of are very thin, light and extremely efficient. Made from specialist materials such as Tuff Wire which is very strong even at low diameters.
Slow jigs are designed to represent dying or injured baitfish when allowed to flutter in freefall but this action can also hampered when trailing such heavy assists.
I'm not saying you wont catch on them but I am saying that you are not optimising your chances unless the lighter assists are used.
Hope this makes some sense.
Example of a quality Assist below, not tuff wire but an extremely strong lightweight material that also adds some flash in the water.

Was recommended to Terry and Jigabite by the tuna tagging specialist at my marina who swears by his knowledge and advice. Studied the informative website, called Terry and the following day received just what I’d hoped with a balanced outfit and some great gear. A valuable resource, thoroughly recommended!

Terry Smith got a reaction from jonnyswamp in Mid channel wrecks 26th June
Absolutely, It was like that when I started as I just couldn't get a strike whatever I did then it suddenly all fell into place and I've had some excellent days. Not sure I'm doing anything different except now fishing with confidence as I know the method works.
When you fish with this confidence you will catch more, its the best advantage you can have. Persevere mate, it will happen.
