Vertical Jigging for bass in deep water is something I want to do a lot more of this year to get away with the nitwits, ghost gear and outrigger-using dinks of charters on the Race. I had a few decent fish around 30# that I hooked on the bottom in about 160' of water.

I don't think I'd want to try and pull a bass out of 100'+ of water with a wimpy Penn 460. Also, for vertical jigging, I'd want something with a faster retrieve per crank of the handle.
