The Micro Jigging fishing technique is perhaps the only style that can guarantee 100% success in any fishing expedition, as there is no chance that such a small bait will reach the bottom and not get attacked by a prey, regardless of size.

Imagine a Vertical Off Shore Jigging rod, with Casting Weight from 5 to 30 gr. A rod that can handle extremely thin braids, starting at PE # 0.3 to # 0.8. This is a rod for Light Jigging enthusiasts, capable of handling large catches, despite the fine tools with which it can be rigged. Undoubtedly, this rod would be the dominant model in the entertainment factor, as it is inconceivable for a light jig to descent to the bottom any kind of bottom (sand, gravel, rocks) and not to get bitten. And it is very important to emphasize that with such fine tools, it is not difficult for a 10 gr jig, in mild weather conditions, to descent even at 20-30 meters (if it succeeds and there is no attack on the way). This is the main advantage of the Micro Jigging fishing technique, which is perhaps the only style that can guarantee 100% success in any fishing expedition, as there is no chance that such a small bait will reach the bottom and not get attacked by a prey, regardless of size.

The Alpha Tackle Crazee Micro Jigging is the result of a detailed study and design by Pesca Mafia and Alpha Tackle company. The Crazee Micro Jigging 622 UL has been designed from the ground up, to provide top durability and a highly technical performance. That’s how the Micro Jigging 622 UL came to life. This is a very technical Micro Jigging rod, unique in its kind, that will take off every battle and will excite any fisherman around the world. It is 1.88 m long, weighs 108 g and is perfectly combined with baitcasting reels carrying a shallow spool, such as the new Crazee SW 150. This point is very important to stress: the shallow spool is a crucial factor for a successful Micro Jigging fishing session. The Bait Casting reel that you will use must have a shallow spool, in order to rotate freely and allow the tiny jig sink naturally to the bottom. A deep spool, due to its volume and weight, slows down the lure and does not provide this option. An ideal Baitcasting reel for this rod, is the Crazee SW 150L.

The Crazee Micro Jigging C622UL, is made of 98% Carbon material and 2% Fiberglass and thus retains its original characteristics for a long time and after a lot of stress. The original rod was persistently tested in various catches and conditions before entering the production line. The result is now certain. The Crazee C622UL aims with great success at dozens of fish species with light jigs. This is a rod that is going to change many things in the way we fish Ultra Light boat techniques.

But can this rod, although it belongs in the Ultra Light Jigging style, aim at large fish? Yes it can. The Crazee C622UL has many guides (14), only 1.88 m of length and a very parabolic bending curve, so that it exerts a constant strain, to each inch of its blank. Just as an 8+ kg fish can be brought to surface with Tai Rubber gear, with braid # 0.8 and 0.30 mm fluorocarbon, so can a 3+ kg Dentex with PE #0.6 braid and 0.22 mm fluorocarbon leader.

How to fish the Crazee Micro Jigging C622UL with Vertical Boat Jigging: Combine it with a baitcasting reel imperative to have a shallow spool, so that it rotates easily during the descent of our light jig and allow the lure to sink. Once it reaches the bottom, use your wrist to shake the tip of the rod and let it sink again. Its resistance is so low that its use with short shakes of the wrist is very relaxing and pleasant. Experiment with a variety of styles, such as Long Jerks, Short Jerks as well as occasional steady retrieve. Most of the strikes will come about as the jig is sinking freely. The depth of the water can be anywhere between 7 meters deep to 30 meters, depending on the currents and wind. However, it is worth noting that during the tests we performed, 40 meters of depth were successfully reached, with mild weather conditions, with 30 gr jigs. Our goal is always to use gear that is as light as possible for the strike zone we want to reach. An ideal combination for the beginning, is braided line PE # 0.6 with 0.2 mm fluorocarbon leader.

How to Use the Crazee Micro Jigging C622UL in Light Surface Trolling: In the aforementioned setting with PE # 0.6 braid and 0.20 mm fluorocarbon, attach a small lure and set the reels drags at 300 – 400 gr. Let the jig troll 30 meters behind the boat at a maximum speed of 3-4 miles near rocky shores. Soon Saddled Sea Breams will make their presence known.
