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.
