Blackfin jigs which ones

[juicyhook]

I am heading down to HI this weekend and looking for some ideas what the Blackfin down there are chewing on. Looking for a hand full of jigs in the 4-7oz range to pick up at local store down there.

The jigging bite has been good down there over the rocks and I am looking forward to giving it a try.

Thanks Richard

You should be able to pickup some butterfly jigs or bentos jigs anywhere. I could help you, but not by this weekend.

Give us a report on the flip side.

I know Patrick Caton has got quite a few on his commercial trips with my flatsides.

Any special sizes or colors? Do you prefer cod style or jap style.

I have a few dozen 7oz and over's for bottom fishing, but never spent any time chasing tuna with jigs.

Thanks

You know, they seem to want a different color every day, you will just have to experiment a little.

Flat side jigs would be what I would start with.

Bring a few 6 -8 oz hammered diamond jigs. You don't need ay fancy jigs for them. Blackfin are very aggressive and can take any jig moving.

Check with the Hissy brothers at Teaches Lair, they have some Jigs there.They can also tell you everything you need to know about fishing on HI.

I caught a couple on a 200g Jager jig from OTI (in pink) on the rigs in the GOM. Like Kil said, they seemed pretty aggressive and I think would hit just about anything that's fished correctly.
