Deepliner
Deepliner is a pioneering Japanese brand founded by Captain Masayoshi Higashimura, widely regarded as one of the originators of slow pitch jigging. Every Deepliner jig is handcrafted in Japan with a philosophy centred on precision, consistency, and giving anglers the tools to read underwater conditions through jig response, current strength, and bite timing.
At Compleat Angler Nedlands, we stock an extensive range of Deepliner jigs and rods, including the iconic Slow Skip VB series (100g through to 600g), the versatile Spy Five V range, the deep-dropping Spy N Narrow models, and the acclaimed Logical slow pitch jigging rods. These are purpose-built for Western Australia's world-class deep-water fisheries — from demersal species along the Perth canyons to samsonfish, dhufish, and ruby snapper in deeper waters.

Are Deepliner jigs good for WA fishing?
Deepliner jigs are exceptional for Western Australian deep-water fishing. They excel at targeting demersal species like dhufish, pink snapper, and ruby snapper, as well as samsonfish and other deep-dwelling species found along the WA continental shelf.
What is the difference between Deepliner Slow Skip VB and Spy Five V?
The Slow Skip VB is Deepliner's baseline pilot jig, designed to help anglers assess underwater conditions with consistent, predictable action. The Spy Five V offers a different fall profile with a long side-to-side slide, making it ideal for targeting fish that respond to horizontal presentations.
