An advertisement on one of these pages, and of course I can't find the ad again - Goofish I think, was advertising a "slow pitch jigging rod". The website that I wound up at seemed to imply that these were more salt water oriented gear than fresh water - however, it still begs the question , "Just what is a slow pitch jigging rod?"  They are available in spinning or casting, straight guides or left or right spiral guides - which makes a difference I guess how?   What is a slow pitch jigging rod?  Who knows?

You cast them under hand.

Pitching for saltwater fishing?
