Johnny Jigs Pro Jigger SPJ Reel

Built by Slow Pitch Anglers, for Slow Pitch Anglers

The Johnny Jigs Pro Jigger SPJ Reel is our first-ever professional slow pitch jigging reel—purpose-built to meet the demands of dedicated jigging anglers. After years of testing, tweaking, and pushing other reels to their limits, we’ve created a reel that finally checks all the boxes: smooth power, smart design, and true slow pitch-specific performance.

This conventional-style reel features a built-in level wind system—a rare addition in the slow pitch world—providing clean, even line lay without compromising control or sensitivity. Every component is tuned for precision jigging, from titanium spring washers and USA-made carbon drag washers to salt-tested sealed bearings and an ergonomic rubber T-bar handle.

This is the medium-size model in the new Pro Jigger series. A larger size is in development and will be announced soon, ensuring you’re ready for everything from nearshore reef thumpers to deepwater bruisers.
