I'm sold on the virtues of jigging and since I don't have an unlimited budget I'm trying to sort out whether I should buy a spinning based setup or a conventional based setup. Both seem to have their +'s & -'s. I am leaning towards spinning because I think that the rig is more versatile as it can be used to jig and pop and for me it seems easier to implement the jigging technique. I fish out of the Gloucester Massachsetts area and will be targeting school Bluefin Tuna in the 50 - 150 lb range. The setup that I am looking hard at is a 5'8" Trevala F XXH spinning rod with a Spheros SP18000FB. Your thoughts on the setups and gear being considered are requested.
