Spring Fishing Gear That Forces the Bite

Spring doesn’t mean easy. Cold water lingers, fish stay picky, and most lures get ignored. That’s when slow pitch jigging wins.

This collection features our best spring-ready micro, lightweight, and middleweight jigs—built to stay in the strike zone longer and trigger reaction bites in bays, lakes, docks, and deeper structure.

Slow pitch jigging is an active fishing style where angler and jig work the water column together, creating lifelike flutter that mimics a dying baitfish. The result? Strikes from predators that are sluggish, stuffed, or just plain picky—because Submission Jigs force the bite when nothing else works.

Here’s how to pick the right jig for your spring bite:

Micro Slow Pitch Jigs (10g–15g)

Best for: Bays, lakes, docks, kayak fishing, warming shallows

As spring starts, fish stage shallow before committing deeper. Micro slow pitch jigs shine when the bite is cautious and pressured. Use the Micro Sumo or Micro Mercenary when fish won’t chase and need a subtle, controlled flutter.

The Ogre Jr and Death Blade add knife-jig action and a cast-and-retrieve element that’s deadly around docks, reeds, and shoreline structure.

Spring Tip: Fish lighter than you think. Slower falls and longer hang time trigger reaction bites from fish easing out of winter mode.

Lightweight Slow Pitch Jigs (20g)

Best for: Deeper pockets, pier pilings, channel edges, light current

As fish begin sliding deeper during spring transitions, lightweight jigs let you cover water without overpowering the bite. Sumo and Mercenary excel here, especially when you need to stall the jig mid-water or work suspended fish.

Spring Tip: Pause the jig on the fall. Many spring bites happen when fish rise to intercept rather than chase down.

Middleweight Slow Pitch Jigs (40g–300g)

Best for: Deeper structure, kelp edges, wrecks, stronger current

When fish move off shallow staging areas and set up deeper, middleweights take over. Drop the Ogre, Javelin, or Mercenary through structure, kelp lines, and wrecks to stay vertical and in control as current picks up.

Spring Tip: Match weight to current, not depth. Staying vertical keeps your jig working instead of washing out.

Heavyweight Slow Pitch Jigs (400g–600g)

Best for: Offshore structure, deep rockfish, yellowtail, strong current

For spring offshore trips, heavy jigs get you down fast and stay there. Samurai, Kraken, and Heavy Ogre punch deep with through-wire strength, ribbed glow profiles, and serious stopping power when predators are holding tight to bottom.

Spring Tip: Glow matters in deeper spring water. A visible jig keeps getting hit even when light penetration is low.

Hooks for Spring Success

Spring bites can be soft and fast. Saltwater-grade BKK assist hooks with UV tassels increase strike triggers and keep fish pinned across all jig sizes—micro to heavyweight.

🧠 Pro Tip: Spring fish aren’t aggressive yet. A jig that flutters, pauses, and stays in the zone will outfish fast, erratic lures every time.

✅ Saltwater-rated assist hooks (BKK with UV tassels *100g and up do not come rigged)
