    Wha goin on bra? I have not tried jigging here. It is going to be an expensive experiment. I am bringing in 4 rods & reels and about 70 billion yards of braid. How has your luck been? Targeted species?

    Good to hear Sami... Will try and swing by soon, maybe Gman Nick and others want to have a reunion. Been like a year since I have seen them.

    My target species is anything that bites. lol. So far I've caught kingfish, bara, horse eye jacks, bar jacks, blue runners, rainbow runners, small grouper, and small snapper.

    Oh and only real men can jig with 400 gram jigs all day. Don't be fooled and think that it's easy like I did. I bought about 20 400 gram jigs and barely use them because they are so heavy.

    P.S. The Marlin bite has been pretty good over here! Now if this stupid front would just leave.

    it really depends on the shape of the jigs,
    some 400g jigs are easier to jig with then other of the same weight, that is when designs comes to play it is role,

    Point taken. *Williamson Abyss jigs are hard to jig with in 400g*
