If i do use a bait rig, i'll always use a break away so the weight will snap off if it's snagged and a nice fish hits it.

i've only been blackfishing about 4 years, but that's my two cents. Great post Gerry. I do believe it was a similar post from you that i read to get me started on tog jigs last year
Great Chrisper, glad to hear it. It's a lot of fun fishing the jigs if the conditions are right...
