the Snaps and J/Ds are in the gulf and are taking Jigs,

throw those S/Ps away and try your luck on some metal, one jig in most cases will catch more fish than 5 bags of S/Ps could produce and can still be used time and time again.......

just remember to retie your knots at some stage as even they cant handle the pressure as much as your jig can......

6kg line nylon or braid is working well anything lighter and your likely to be taken to the cleaners.....

those Zest things are doing the damage......

Awesome!

Give that blue rod a work out Jimi!

Not pimped Cod ...Custom in every sense of the word,pimping is for ameturs who are into mass production of expensive rods that are all the same

sorry Grovo the lurker at the back was, i hate to say it taken on bait....
Canadian John will tell you all about that monster shortly i guess.....
havent seen a snap that big around Waiheke for along time......
Hi Jimijig the weight was a 85gm, which seam to work pretty well in anything up to about 33mts in flat claim condisions......

Very good stuff there Lethal - just getting my stuff together with jigs now. It's been too long between jigs! I was thinking of either my Trinidad12 or 14 reels - both have braided line on now, 6lb and 10lb respectively. Those Jd's must've been fast swimmers to get into jigs?! Just got a couple of the pink triangular zests recently, they look the biz. - and obviously do it.

Do you use a swivel?

Tried jigs at/around the Barrier this Saturday just been but only managed to lose a couple ot the snakes - a 100gm zest and the old faithful 150gm grim reaper.
