Any word from the experienced guys that actually jig the canal in the conditions mentioned (heavy current, 5+oz or similar)?

Well then it is your reels inablity to take up line fast enough..
You really have to bust it in on the lower water to get it over the kelp and stuff.If u jerk it the jig will fly forward and plop in, thats where it gets snagged.Just try a steady fast retrieve along the edge.
I held off on this as I now guys still use a conventional.while some of em are fast they are not as fast as yours..
i use a diawa's saltiga..5500..
Look into a diawa emblem it is a good start.and more than 1/3 the cost..

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..
