same question here. i have a lot of gear, but heavy jigs (over 4oz.) are not in my arsenal... rod? reel? line?
what i usually do is bring 2 setups. one for bait and one for jigging. i prefer to jig but truth be told all my big cod have been on some sort of bait. for a jigging rod i've got an 8' st croix rated to 20 oz paired up w/ a torium 20 w/ 50#braid to a 20' topshot of 60# mono to a 80#leader. for a bait setup just a cheap 7' trophy rod w/ a penn 320gt2 , same line - nothing fancy. for jigs it depends on the weather and where/how deep we fish. maybe someone else can chime in with some intel about that. if the wind is light and we're not deep than you can get away w/ light stuff 7-10 oz. but more likely we'll be jigging 10-20+ oz. remember there are 40 other guys fishing around you - if you go too light you'll scope out too quick and tangle alot. ideally you want to be as verticle as possible. i've got a big ass jig bucket i'll bring and you guys are welcome to dip into it as needed. i poured a ton of 16 and 20 oz bank sinkers at leadfest too. i cant wait to watch eelskimmer sweat with a double header of pollock.
