Jigging Rods
Jigging rods are purpose-built for working metal jigs vertically through the water column, and Perth's offshore grounds deliver some of the best jigging in Australia. From slow pitch jigging in deep water to high-speed mechanical jigging on reef edges, having the right rod transforms your hook-up rate and fish-fighting ability.
Western Australia's jigging scene covers everything from samsonfish and amberjack on the inshore reefs to ruby snapper, pearl perch, and kingfish in deeper water off the continental shelf. Whether you're slow pitching jigs on the Rottnest trench, speed jigging at the Abrolhos Islands, or working reef structure along the metro coast, a quality jigging rod is your most critical piece of gear.

What's the difference between slow pitch and speed jigging rods?
Slow pitch jigging rods have a softer, more parabolic action that allows the jig to flutter and fall naturally — ideal for enticing finicky deep water species. Speed jigging rods are stiffer with faster recovery, designed for aggressive high-speed retrieves targeting pelagic species like samsonfish, amberjack, and kingfish.
What jigging rod brands do you stock in Perth?

What species can I catch jigging in Perth?
Perth's offshore reefs and canyons offer incredible jigging for samsonfish, amberjack, yellowtail kingfish, dhufish, baldchin groper, pink snapper, ruby snapper, and pearl perch. Popular spots include the Five Fathom Bank, Rottnest trench, and the deeper grounds along the continental shelf.
Should I use a spinning or overhead jigging rod?
Spinning jigging rods are more versatile and beginner-friendly, great for speed jigging and lighter slow pitch work. Overhead jigging rods excel in deeper water and heavier slow pitch applications, offering better leverage and line management when fishing 150+ metres. Many serious jiggers carry both styles on the boat.
