before they "banned" it on headboats i used it a few times. i figure i have intermediate headboat skills and i destroyed the regulars out catching them 2 or 3 to 1.

much more feel at 300 or 400 ft of water. especiallt when fishing bait for haddock.
mad...i was fishing w/ 30 lb braid.. everyone on the boat had braid .....i still needed a 21oz to 26 oz jig to hit the bottom ,the current was ripping and with the 10 to 20 mph winds pushing the boat. i had 10 to 30 sec bumping the bottom. also i was tossing the jig 50 ft up tide ..its not my first time cod fishing
