Ever since modern braided line became available I have used 3-4 oz DH stingers and crippled herring to "vertical" jig for bass in the big rips behind Nantucket and the Vineyard with excellent success. You lob the jig in front of the rip and bounce it over the ridge into the trough while the boat slides along the face of the rip. Works better than wire line jigging (and is much more fun) most of the time.
