What we tested
Purpose-built slow-pitch jigs were fished through changing tide strength and depth, with tackle adjusted to keep the jig working effectively.
What this session suggests
Jig weight, line angle and the fall matter. Slow-pitch jigging is a system rather than simply “use a metal lure slowly.”
What this does not prove
The method was tested on one trip and fish location mattered as much as technique. It is not evidence that slow pitch will outfish all other methods.
Why we publish the limitations
Sea bass fishing is a field environment, not a laboratory. Tide, water clarity, light, prey, fish movement and angler execution can all change during a session. A BassLureFish result describes what happened in the recorded test. Repeated tests in different conditions are more persuasive than any single score.
