Many automatic jigging machines are available on the world markets today for both hydraulic and electric power.
Figure 79 shows two models designed for finfish. Figure 80 shows one designed for squid jigging. All these machines are electrically driven. The main difference between the two kinds is the shape of the hauling reels, i.e. oval or elliptical on squid jigging machines but round on fish jigging machines. Normally a single squid jigging machine drives two reels but a fish jigging machine drives only one.
Figure 79. Electrically driven automatic fish jigging machines
Most automatic jigging machines have an easily operated control board which can be adjusted to suit most fishing conditions. Variables that can be controlled include:
Hauling power and speed.
Jigging speed and span or length.
Jigging timing in relation to span or length.
Depth or distance from bottom.
Sensitivity when hauling, to prevent slackening or overloading of the line even when the boat rolls.
Figure 80. An electrically driven automatic squid jigging machine
Before you decide to purchase an automatic jigging machine, first look at the advantages and disadvantages about it.
First the advantages:
You may catch more fish, as one person can operate three machines instead of one hand-operated line.
You can enjoy the fishing as the work becomes much easier.
Now the disadvantages:
You need a lot of money to start fishing with automatic jigging machines.
You may have to modify your boat or fit a generator to provide enough power to drive the machines.
If your boat is small and without an engine, you may have to purchase a new boat with an engine to be able to accommodate and operate the automatic jigging machines.
It may be more difficult to sell a lot of fish than it is to sell a few.
If something goes wrong you may have problems in finding a person who can repair or fix the automatic jigging machines.
With all these points carefully considered and prices checked, you should be able to make your decision.
Good luck and good fishing!
