You need to set up a whole system from running line to leader knot to leader to jig knot. This is what Mike P is saying. In jigging you will be snagging the bottom , etc. You need your systen to break at the jig knot if possible , then if not there , in the leader , then if not there , at the leader knot and hopefully almost never in the expensive braid running line.
Now you get some help there. The jig knot gets bashed to hell , the leader itself gets frayed , for some the leader knot gets wacked by the guide rings although not all do it this way.
Its really inviting to try to get casting distance by new rod , reels , line , etc but the bottom line is you need a complete system at the canal. Emphasize the casting distance too much and suffer else where. Emphasize the line knot strength and you'll get low distance. Anyway , you should pay attention to what Mike said as you eventually will do it that way. A little advice may save you a hundred on lost braid before you learn the hard way.
