I have been fishing a smaller headboat out of Maine a few times a season (marathon trips) for years now and thats where I got used to braid and Penn Bajas. I dont know if I could ever Jig cod on mono. I have dropped a fish or two on the way up so I am not up to Ronnie's standard but agree that a steady crank is better with a big heavy jig, If you only have one hook in them, the jig bouncing can open up the hole and you'll drop them.
Thanks for all your comments. I may keep shopping as some of your thoughts on the higher speed stuff makes sense. I just wonder if a two speed has the components to stand up to jigging heavy over and over. I do think Ive settled on 80lb and will look at either cortland or Izorline.
