What jig weight for fishing off Perth?
Rule of thumb: 1g per metre of depth in calm conditions. 60m = 60g jig. Perth Canyon (100-200m): 150-300g. Inshore reefs (20-40m): 40-80g. Go heavier in strong current.
Slow-pitch vs speed jigging?
Slow-pitch uses a specialised rod to make jigs flutter seductively — deadly on less aggressive fish. Speed jigging is faster and physical with erratic dart action. Both work; slow-pitch is trending for demersal species.
Do I need assist hooks?
Yes — essential for metal jigs. Attached via cord to the jig's solid ring, hooks move freely to find the fish's mouth. Top assists for speed jigging; top and bottom for slow-pitch.
What fish can I catch jigging off Perth?
Samson fish, amberjack, pink snapper, dhufish, breaksea cod, baldchin groper, kingfish, and tuna. One of the most exciting ways to target quality reef fish in WA.
