PurEvl,

All the jigs you mentioned will work at some time, but you really have to
experiment with several jigs to see what thay want at the time. I found that smaller jigs work best.

Diamond jigs are very good i think, when thay are not very aggresive you can
yo-yo them in the strike zone for long periods of time.
When thay are aggresive the Japanese style jigs really shine, as a fast moving
jig really gets them going.

Last year i caught all my tunas useing Japanese jigs as on all my trips the tuna's were really aggresive

1 of 15 i caught in one night using a Andaman jig.
