KSong, since you are our resident Guru of Jigging, I request your advice. I also request advice from McGolfer, Minnow, & all I Have left out, who have experience in this area. I'm preparing for late Nov. Big E trip. What brand jigs & assist hooks do you use? I used all kinds of jigs, from Diamond, knife, butterfly on and on. Hook sizes very from each manufacturers
what size/length assist hooks for each size jig.I used Mustad live bait hooks from size 6/0 to 10/0, for short assist hook 1-1/2 inches, medium 1-7/8 and long 2-1/2 inches
I just bought 30 knife jigs,on eBay, w/ assist hooks tied w/300# Spectra& shrink tubing.3/0,5/0, &9/0 size.Did I screw up,& waste my money? No, I don't think so. most of the jigs will work
Is Kevlar better to tie hooks to solid ring?(10 each 100,150,200g jigs)Yes, tie it to the solid ring.
Also,I read where you put carbontex washers in your Saltists. I have 2 SST50's, one 4.9, one 6.4. do you feel you got enough improvement in drag performance to justify the time & $22 each? Thanks & good luck this weekend.
