those OTI Jager jigs are nice for bottom jigging, they get down fast. i was using them down in NC this year and caught tiles and grouper
the 450 and 550 size seemed to work with the current
good luck with your jigging i am sure you will gettem

Awesome fish! I can't wait to get back to the states and start fishing again! Now that I have learned some bout this saltwater stuff I don't think that I could ever live very far from the ocean!

Great job,
Jeremy
