Great post... I have two opinions about this, first is I think people get confused when we say jigging for blackfish cause in all reality with a “jig” your hooking the crab on the jig much like a “bait rig” then letting it hit the bottom and you may move it around a bit to find some structure then your leaving it there unlike traditional jigging. Secondly I think it just takes time to learn how to jig mentally. What I mean is my whole life fishing for blackfish was a poolstick rod matched with a heavy sinker and at minimum 60 lb mono and floro ... so to go from that to 20 lb braid and 30lb top shot using at most a fluke buck tailing rod is hard for people to overcome.. it takes time but I have never caught more and bigger fish in the jig. Good luck!
