Jig how? Like trolling and jigging bucktails.....if so yes no problem. Jigging like you would for ground fish...not gonna happen.

Have done it allot with bucktails from 1 to 5 oz. Esp for younger inexperienced anglers as to not kink your wire. Years ago jigging Boston Harbor would only put 5 colors on the spool 150ft. I still also use lead core for tube and worm.
