How long is the leader behind the torpedo wieght. keep it under 5'. Depending on the length of leader there maybe too much bow in the line, the leader material tends to float compared to the braid to the weight.
I also use parachute jigs without the weights depending on the depth.
You should be able to fish with your friends.
Most fast rods with braid you may actually be tearing the hook of out the fishes mouth when you jig, I am building moderate action rods out of eglass to not respond as quickly, almost like putting stretch back in.
