Default Re: Blackfish Jigging

meh,, use a 3 ounce sinker thats been painted, and keep the leader VERY short like 3 inches right above the sinker,, Did that for decades and hammered tog with it, way before people used $4 "blackfish jigs".. I see guys using 18 inch leaders for blackfish these days...Never understood that...
Also, try a 2-3 oz egg sinker , again painted, and simply let it butt against a long shank hook of appropriate size.. Cost- maybe a buck.. If anyone can explain how a jig would have better "feel for the hit" than that, I would love to hear it... bob
