Re: Tile jig rigging opinion please?
Like swivels on BOTH hooks ! Better have heavier jigs up to 30 oz for deep water , also most I've seen for tile buck tail style like cod bombs with & without swing hooks !
Another idea if UR gonna jig with lighter jigs & u get a fast drift rig jig reel with lighter braid to manage scope .
Under mild current and / or slow drift conditions I'm sure u can get away with 10-16oz
I remember jigging 600' for live bait inside the BC for the morning Tuna bite years back with a 1.8 drift 16 oz sinkers on squid rigs got it done that nite.
However only three of us on 36 ' boat not like on party boat where to lite a rig could cause issues under certain conditions .
Always best to ask someone that has put some time in doing the tile deal it's been 30 seasons since I fished em' those days had the privilege of going with the man that started the RNR tile fish game but we only used
Bait & Monel line , no braid then a deep drop was 350 to 400 ' ! A lot predicated on conditions & of course depth.
