Submission Jigs - Micro Sumo and Mercenary - Slow Pitch Jigs - 4 Packs

Slow pitch jigs are specifically designed to imitate a wounded baitfish with an unpredictable fluttering fall and enticing horizontal swim on the retrieve. Unlike traditional vertical speed jigs or plastics, our center-weighted, asymmetric slow pitch jigs stay in the strike zone longer and trigger reaction strikes even when fish aren’t actively feeding. Submission Fishing’s lineup—including the Micro Sumo and Micro Mercenary—are engineered for maximum lifelike action to outfish standard lures.

New to slow pitch jigging? Start with the Micro Sumo or Micro Mercenary. The Sumo slides under docks and tight cover with precision, while the Mercenary has a flat-sided flutter perfect for cast-and-retrieve or vertical jigging in shallow water. Both are easy to fish, super effective, and proven to get bit even when nothing else works. The Ogre Jr is also great to use, with an irresistible action, and the Death Blade is perfect if you like the cast and retrieve style of fishing.

Absolutely—they shine in both! Our Submission micro jigs are proven killers for freshwater species like bass, trout, crappie, and walleye, as well as saltwater targets like spotted bay bass, calicos, redfish, and snook. Designed to reach pressured fish in shallow lakes, rivers, bays, or estuaries, they’re the ultimate versatile weapons for any water you fish.

Micro slow pitch jigs like the Sumo and Mercenary excel in shallow bays, lakes, and rivers. Drop them vertically near structure or cast and let them sink with a controlled fall. Lift your rod tip gently to create a flutter, then let it fall again—this mimics a dying baitfish. For detailed action, check out our Micro Jigs Collection and start with a slow, steady lift-pause-drop cadence to get strikes. We also have more info on our blog.

For best results, pair your micro jigs with a lightweight or medium-light slow pitch rod, a spinning or small baitcasting reel with a smooth drag, and braided line (10-20 lb) with a short fluorocarbon leader. While you can use your current inshore setup, slow pitch-specific rods like the ones recommended on our Slow Pitch Jigging Guide help get the most out of each jig’s action.
