Description
The JOKER Slammer jig is a highly versatile, streamline, quick drop jig. It’s great at avoiding streaming away when the tide and boat are at odds.
It’ll catch pretty much any predatory fish, but most commonly cod, bass and pollock. It works well using typical slow pitch actions with short, medium or long and high pitches. It’s also great for working up through the water column a bit faster. This is a great way to encourage fish to move in and attack.
When set up correctly, a typical pitch of the rod fires the jig upwards and onto its side, from there it hovers slightly before a slow horizontal, flat fall.
Watch for hits at the top of the pitch, during the fall and any pauses in the jigs movement.
The Slammer jig is also often hit on the drop as it falls into any fish holding zones. It’s also common to be picked up off the bottom.
Now available in 5 colours and 80g, 100g, 130g, 170g and 200g.
All jigs to be pre fitted with a pair of top quality assist hooks to the top eye.
A truly awesome jig, check out the catches gallery!

After seeing the results from silver halo charters these were the first jigs I purchased. First time I used them I had a great day on the pollack with a few bass chucked in aswell. Nice that they get down fast in a bit of tide!

Had lots of fish on these jigs in the harder of times
Overall amazing jig

I’m new in slow jigging etc.
I bought a lot of different gear but I wasn’t convinced, until I saw the joker jiggs and spoke with Matt.
Matt given me his honest opinion (even sending me the right jigg for my needs) and what can I say? Success!! Beautiful jigg
Thanks for your time Matt 🙂 I’m still waiting for better weather conditions to put more hours into fishing, but what I used so far is great 🙂

I’m not new with slow pitch jigging and I’m fairly knowledgeable with the technique. The Joker slammer is one of the best and most effective jig I’ve ever used. Due to its design, it can be very flexible with different pitching style. Joker jigs are highly recommended.

Thanks for your review, its always nice to have good feedback from top anglers!

Short and sweet these SPJ WORK! What I mean is they do the work for you! I fish them all day long and still won’t just one more drop 😉
Matt (verified owner) –
Thank Brad, I’ve seen you catch some great fish with the Slammer, its becoming a very popular choice!

New to SPJ …after a couple of trips out with Silver Halo charters and some expert guidance from Matt ,I used his own SPJ set ups on his boat.
The preferred choice was the 130-acid orange Slammer ..3 takes and 3 fish!Second jig was a 170 black Mack slammer ..wow 2bass and another 2 pollock !The catch results say it all if fished correctly …I’m still learning a lot about SPJ but am thoroughly hooked!😂

Great looking jigs, the way they seemingly change colour in different light is intriguing. Add that to seeing them catch quality fish what’s not to recommend 🤷
Matt (verified owner) –
Thanks for the review Darren, yes the holographic foil is excellent and as you know the action of these jigs is also top notch!

I went out in my boat late November last year for a days lure fishing, which started with couple of small pollock and “eff-ing” pouting to standard long traces with Skerries eels but as the tide slackened I reached for the slow jigs. This was the first time I’d been out in decent conditions since I’d bought some of the Joker Slammer jigs and was looking forward to trying them,,, oh my word do they work well! Cornish cod are not as rare as you would think,,, if you get lucky. Three drifts across the reef yielded cod of 11lb 4oz and 10lb 12oz and finally one of about 5lb which I put back. I moved to get away from the cod (not something that happens very often) as I had plenty of fish for the table and second drift on a wreck gave me a good pollock on the drop! All caught on 200g Cotton Candy Slammers in 180 feet of water on a biggish tide, it was the perfect jig for this style of fishing yesterday. I loved how quickly it got down to the deck on a fairly fast drift and the “feel” of it working was superb. Wish I could add pictures to the review, stunning fish! Just got some of the new Black Mack variants, can’t wait to get out to try them too.🛥️🎣🐟 🦄😃

Matt (verified owner) –
Thanks for taking the time to leave a cracking review Lee. That was a hellava day and in not the easiest conditions, but you smashed it with the JOKER Slammer, that’s exactly what it’s for!
James Bater –
Brilliant jigs, used them mid channel in 300ft of water for pollack. Because of the slim profile they rocket down to the wreck. I out-fished the others on the boat that day! Until I lost them tobthe wreck.
Matt (verified owner) –
Hi James many thanks for the review. The Slammer really is a great jig, so easy to use, highly effective and like you say its a rocket getting down!

As one of many newbies getting into SPJ and having taken advice from Matt, I can say without fear of contradiction that the Slammer jigs are simply brilliant! After fishing them with someone who is proficient at SPJ @ Chino Fabro, I saw first hand how effective they can be, even in difficult conditions! I even managed a PB Pollack of around 13lb, despite a serious lack of technique. Thanks Matt, see you again on Silver Halo Charters in a few weeks.
Matt (verified owner) –
Hi Pete thanks for taking the time to leave such a great review like this! I’m glad your now offically ‘hooked’ into the art of SPJ, it gets better and better the more we learn and that learning never stops!!!
