I've cracked the main gear teeth off of two spinning reels trying to force tog off the bottom on a jig. I won't use spinning gear on them anymore, i go with a heavy duty bait caster and a sensitive jigging rod with decent of backbone. I hold the line in my finger so i get as much sensitivity as you can get and can just winch them off the bottom a couple of feet into the 'safe zone'. These things are serious brute strength, no fish fights harder for the first few seconds of being hooked!
