Mike Ur not all wet by no means, I been at this a long time an u probably forgot more than i know.Sometimes u gotta cast far.
I really think its as easy or easier to fight a fish on the spinner.as long as the spool don't rocket thru the guides.the spinners do take a poundin from the tension.maybe JP will have better luck with the Saltiga he's lookin into.The nautil's are throwaways imho.I think I asked JP last yr if he knew of any fifties taken on a full current with a jig.all he could tell me was the horror stories.One of his protege's got one 2 yrs ago I think it was 46 lbs when he was done he carried the fish up to the service road an layed down next to it. I think thats the biggest he knew of.The list is long of things that can happen with a big fish.in the current.even if everthing from the reel to ur knots hold up u gotta hope the jig don't pull or worse open the hook.things U really have no control over i lost a good one at the cribbin last yr was a good fish taken some line an the hook pulled. U just don't get em all.In the canal u get less.....
