On the sea beast, he was jigging for bergals, and then feeding them to the seagull who wouldn't leave, the effing boat alone, and kept going after the crabs on our rigs !!!!! Thanks to McGee, for providing entertainment. That rod will be great for jigging fluke. That's where it rose to prominence. Toggers co-opted it. "Depend not on fortune, but on conduct."

mickrazz Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Well some poll said the rod I have came in third place. I don't know who was polled but I figgered that Tomm knew his stuff about jigging rods. What do I know. I know nothing of rods or reels. I'm a rank amateur. A plebe. I can't even tie knots. I'm an abject failure. Eff me. The Magnificent Presence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidder 329 Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 The assist hooks looks like it would be more trouble than it's worth. I would think it would be difficult to set the second hook in the bait. If I were to go with a second hook on a jig I'd use 20 lb mono to give me flexibility in getting into the crab. I do like the two jigs with up facing hooks have you had more success with those compared to the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 Tog fishing in NJ is not consistent enough to evaluate these. It's an incomplete experiment at this point. I'm not putting both hooks into one crab. I set this up for two half crabs so I get two baits down there. Two chances to swing and miss "Depend not on fortune, but on conduct."

I just bet adding another chunk of crab ads a lot of drag- you clearly catch enough tog from what I’be seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 $5 for a three pack of pre made assist hooks was worth the experiment. "Depend not on fortune, but on conduct." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
