Here I am, getting ready now for later in September/October when I will be heading out from the North Shore/Cape Ann for Cod. I have some reels in mind thanks to the suggestions/recomendations but now I have to assemble some jigs. What to get and in what sizes colors?

I had just perused the Sea Wolfe site for Cod Bombs, Cod Killahs and Norwegian Jigs, what weights and what colors would you recommend? I know it comes down to the speed of the drift and the current strength and depth but what do you all go with for weights and colors?

Norwegians, finish doesn't matter, shiny or dull, dull id cheaper. 12,14, 16 and 20 ounces should cover ,ost conditions.
