Yeah I bought the wrong size assist hooks and need to rebuy, I got 0/6 and I need 0/9. I didnt get any of them hooked on the 0/6's. They would be good for the 6oz I'm using 16oz heads (Gibbs delta bullet jig) and either the mega bite tails or savage. I have not used the glow hurricane yet.So...About the ling cod jigging... Have now tried the mega bites and the assist hooks. Both work well.
The assist hooks get caught up easier but I have had a few fish on that hook that would have missed the other. So good and bad.
Bigger bait and deeper water seems to produce bigger fish also.
Is there any cheaper jig heads, its $13 + a swim tail ~ $20-22 each time I loose one of these babies.
Has anyone tried the Chartreuse colored Gibbs heads vs white?
We got a 30" ling off the white Russian last night on the 16oz Gibbs white bullet head. I need a better reel/rod combo though. Pulling up 200-250' of line is tiring after a hour and a half jigging with my setup. I think I will create a different post on it though as I have some other questions about trying to find a salmon/ling setup.
