yeah!

i hooked up once this summer doing it, using a heavy spinning rod i usually use for bass. targeting fish that were down 150ft. definitly going to get a correct set up to do it this year, once a i find a shop that has a nice selection of rods i can try out.

it also worked really well for bottom fish, especially big pollock, i have found. i was out on a marathon party boat trip doing this, and when we went over a school, i was catching 5 to 1 compared to everyone else.

the hookup with the tuna was the harest hit i have ever had. it was like i hooked up to the back of a car going 40mph. same thing with the pollock, when they hit it, they absolutely nail the jig. i think because the jig is moving so randomly, and fast through the water, they tend to hit it at full speed, because they are chasing it down.

live to fish. fish to live. rod tips high.
