SPJ
Typically refers to a type of fishing lure or jig used in slow-pitch jigging, a technique used in deep-sea fishing. This technique involves using specialized jigs that are designed to flutter and move enticingly when dropped through the water column. The name “rhubarb and custard refers to the colour combination of the jig.

Here’s how you can understand and use these jigs effectively:

1. Understanding Slow Pitch Jigging: Slow pitch jigging is a method where the jig is dropped to the bottom or desired depth and then worked back up slowly, mimicking injured or struggling baitfish. The jigging action is slower and more deliberate compared to traditional jigging techniques.
2. Choosing the Right Jig: Look for jigs designed specifically for slow pitch jigging. These jigs are typically longer and slimmer compared to conventional jigs, allowing for the desired fluttering action. The “rhubarb and custard” colour pattern features pink and yellowish hues, which can be effective in attracting certain fish species.
3. Technique: When using slow pitch jigs like “rhubarb and custard,” drop the jig down to the desired depth, then lift the rod tip slowly to impart action to the jig. Let the jig flutter on the way down and pause periodically during the retrieve. The key is to keep the action slow and enticing.

Target Species: Slow pitch jigging can be effective for a variety of saltwater species, including Bass, Wrasse Cod, Ling, and more. Match your jig size and weight to the target species and the depth of water you are fishing.
