What is slow pitch jigging?

Slow pitch jigging is a vertical fishing technique that uses fluttering metal jigs to mimic dying baitfish. It's effective in both saltwater and freshwater and works especially well when fish are not chasing fast-moving lures.

What size jig should I use?

Choose jig weight based on depth and current. Use 10–20g for docks and shallow water, 40–100g for nearshore, and 300g+ for offshore or deep water. Match the weight to how quickly you want to reach the strike zone.

Can slow pitch jigs be used in freshwater?

Yes! Submission Jigs are used successfully in lakes and rivers for bass, walleye, trout, and more. Their lifelike flutter action triggers bites when other lures fail, especially in cold or pressured conditions.

Do I need special gear for slow pitch jigging?

While you can start with standard rods and reels, a true slow pitch setup includes a soft-tip rod, high-speed conventional reel, braided line, and fluorocarbon leader. Lighter gear helps you feel the jig’s action and detect subtle strikes.

What types of fish can I catch with Submission Jigs?

Submission Jigs catch bass, redfish, black sea bass, snapper, grouper, yellowtail, tuna, and more. They're designed for both freshwater and saltwater action, from docks to deep sea.

How do I rig and use your assist hooks?

Attach the assist hook to the top eyelet of the jig, we like two on the eye side for the 10g and 15g jigs, and one on each end for 10g through 80g. For best results, use one or two assist hooks depending on the jig size. All Submission Hooks are saltwater-rated and matched to each jig size.

I read that these jigs can outfish live bait? I'll believe it when I see it for myself! Well

I read that these jigs can outfish live bait? I'll believe it when I see it for myself!
Well, we went on the lake for Striped Bass. We caught some shad and also had some frozen anchovies, and headed to find the stripers. We found them and started dropping both live shad and cut anchovies. The bite was very slow, so I dropped a 15g Mercenary Stellar Shad, and got a hook up on my second retrieve! I ended up catching 4 stripers versus just 1 caught with live bait! So yes, in this case, the Mercenary jig did outfish live bait! So far, I'm living these jigs!

Submission Jigs - Micro Sumo and Mercenary - Slow Pitch Jigs - 2 packs

Great little jigs! It started as a tough night, low tide, at Harbor Island last night. My usual go to swim bait was being ignored by the local spotted bay bass. I decided to switch to a new 10 gram Sumo Submission SLP jig. First cast and I get bit! The Submission Sumo saved the evening! I always carry micro jigs and Submission jigs will now be included in my tackle bag. OSS!

Caught some black sea bass with this jig. Used it right out of the package and had a school of fish chase it up. Caught 2 at once!

Submission Jigs - Sumo - Lightweight Slow Pitch Jigs

beautiful colored sheen, Jig tails on the souble hooks sway nicely under water, great compact design for enticing those big mouth bass and small enough to tease the small mouth. The weight (10g) is perfect for the deeper lake water and drops
