Re: speed jigs
Out west the crews noticed that if you fished hooks top and bottom on the jigs too many fish were foul hooked instead of hooking in the mouth. Battles would take longer and there was the added danger of hooks flying around during and after battling the fish. Hook location didn't seem to make much difference. Hooks on solid ring above jig was a broken jig problem/better pull/action thing. I saw many bent jigs in the earlier/cheap jigs rigged on the bottom ring. Capt. Jeff straightened both stock hooks a couple seasons ago on one of my stock jigs. Lesson learned. Jeff still jigged 3 yft with a single 2x hardened hook on the bottom . I got ring welding kit for my jigs. I also saw that 4 day video and probably a hundred others.
