This question is aimed primarily at Kil, but advice from anyone would be appreciated. I (and I’m sure a few others who will be going on the 76 hour trip over July 4) could probably use some advice on what kind of jigs to take along.
Kil, I re-read your post from last November on the gtpopping.com forum:
jigging yellowfin - jigs and rigs
I saw at on that thread that for yellow fin you recommend a slow stroke and shorter jigs in the 6 inch to 8 inch range from 250 – 250 grams in weight. I intend to do almost all my jigging with the OTI 300 gram rod or possibly occasionally the Nirai with the Twinspin.
As to particular jigs, based on your advice, I am thinking about the following:
The OTI Jaeger jig and the Butterfly regular jig. Am I on the right track with those as opposed to the longer jigs?
Also, I would assume from what you said on the other board that the best strategy would be to drop the jig down about 100 – 200 feet and then use the slow jigging method. Thanks very much.
